Friday Five

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.  ~Kahlil Gibran

 

Hello and Happy Friday! Today is the 10th of June. And well, I didn’t obviously get picked for the DOVE competition. I would have been in Toronto today, being photographed. And truly, I am honoured, and flattered that I made it to the top 50 of 2300 women. I am proud of me for making it that far! (OK, and yes I am a little bummed out too. I am not going to lie!) I received a voicemail this morning. I will be receiving a DOVE gift basket as a thank you for my entry. That is cool. :D

I have so much to be thankful for. I have so much to be grateful for. Even for the littlest things. Or the bigger things that happen.

Today, I am thankful for my good health, and the health of my family. In less than a week my beautiful Granny turns 90! I am excited to celebrate with all of our family, and her friends next weekend! Go GRANNY go!

Today, I am thankful for our home, and everything we have inside of our home. Including groceries in the fridge, and warm beds to sleep in!

Today, I am thankful for my husband, and our kids. Oh how I love them all!

My scars from my surgery on March 1st are healing up so nicely! I can hardly see the lines anymore! My veins are going away too! It is very exciting to wear skirts and dresses and feel good in them!

I am thankful for the french pedi I had done last weekend. My toes and feet really needed some TLC in a bad way!  Now my toes look nice when they peep out of my black wedge shoes! I love that the sun is around a bit more, and that it is getting warmer around here! I look forward to Summer!

Have a wonderful weekend! The photo above, is from a really fun nude boudoir session this week. I also shot three sets of headshots! It was a busy week! I love my job!

Cathy xoxo

 

p.s. I would love to see what you women and or men are doing with your free printables!  Send me an email with your photos! I would love to share them on Facebook! Who knows, you may get a little somethin’ for me for participating!  And, hey, I LOVE creativity too! Show me your stuff!   ;D

    So glad to hear that you are “ok” with not being chosen. From what I have seen and what I have read, you have nothing to worry about. You are a beautiful person, inside and out! You mentioned it in the post above, you are truly blessed. Don’t forget it.
