OhmMama Mudpie: Self Portrait Challenge

Inspiration

Welcome Home
"We are all longing to go home to some place we have never been -- a place half-remembered and half-envisioned we can only catch glimpses of from time to time. Community. Somewhere, there are people to whom we can speak with passion without having the words catch in our throats. Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us, eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us whenever we come into our own power…Someplace where we can be free" ~Starhawk
It is no more surprising to be born twice than once; everything in nature is resurrection. -- Voltaire
On Good and Evil
"Of the Good in you I can speak, but not of the evil. for what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters. You are good when you are one with yourself. Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil. For a divided house is not a den of thieves; it is only a divided house. And a ship without rudder may wanter aimlessly among perilous isles yet sink not to the bottom. "

Message From The Universe

Think that it's fun, that you're guided, and all is well. That there's time, that life is easy, and that the best is yet to come. Think that the reasons that elude you will one day catch up, that the lessons that have stumped you will one day bring joy, and the sorrows that have crippled you will soon give you wings. Think that you're important, that you cannot fail, and that happiness always returns. And think that you're beautiful. I do.

Self-Portrait Challenge - Bathroom Week #3

For Want of a Bathtub....I settle for a soothing stream of warmth to coccoon me from the rest of the world...someday Hubs promises me a whirlpool bath....ahhh, I do so miss my soaks!!

This picture seems a little sad to me...Im drained at the end of the day, after running after a my spirited 2 year old and nurturing my six month old...I usually feel stretched in too many directions. On a rare occasion, I make it to the shower...I don't take showers at night due to my long hair not drying, or me collapsing into bed with said wet head and waking up with a stiff neck. I've learned the fine art of Dora the Explorer or Dragon Tales Diversion...the boys are transfixed and I have a 20 minute window of solace...whether backlit or not :)
