It has been a few months since I took a self-portrait. To be honest, I was no where near inspired to do so the past few months. I have been going through a purging-pruning process and I have endured more than I thought I could handle. It has taxed me physically, emotionally and spiritually, yet I held on, believing this time of intense change would pass and things would improve for the better on the other side.
When you are in the midst of a major storm, it is not easy to see how you will ever find a place of peace. Peace is something I have been praying for, and today, I felt it for the first time in months. I realized I had cast my care and I was trusting God. Now, let’s see if I can maintain this state of mind for the rest of the month. I am going to let my cares blow on by and enjoy this life I have been blessed with.

Rachel Ferrucci - You should take more self portraits….the world needs to see beautiful people! xoxo
Jennifer Gandin Le - This is a stunning photo of you — even more impressive that it’s a self-portrait!! I love the filtered light in the photo, and how relaxed and open you appear in front of the camera. Really gorgeously done!
Lucrecer - Ladies, thank you. I used to take self-portraits all the time. I will be getting back into it soon. Need a few things to settle down for me so I can focus.
iHanna - I hope you will feel as good as you look! great portrait!
jennyonthespot - I know our time together wasn’t long… but I was touched by your heart. Your warmth. Your kindness. I don’t know your storms, and it is surprisingly easy to hide storms on the outside… I just pray for your focus during this time, and your resolve to trust in God. Things will come along and try to pull you from that which you cling… and in the few days we got to know each other… I was struck by your gentle strength. I admire you and will pray for your victorious journey. {hugs}

Lu - You are so sweet, Danielle. I am doing fine. Need to send you an update, don’t I?!
