#365FeministSelfie

So my near and dear friend proposed this blogging challenge for me for 2014. The idea came from another fellow blogger ...this is how it works in the virtual world I am learning...

The idea is simple, post 365 selfie pictures that are what a "feminist looks like". Yes, folks, that would be me...

I'm not 100% comfortable with the idea of selfie pics, I'm not very happy with my appearance these days, my hair is growing out, I'm 15pounds over my ideal weight, I'm seeing aging lines on my face... but then I thought, this is exactly the point! 

We as a society are obsessed with the "ideal" image of a woman. So obsessed that it turns inward and we find ourselves critiquing everything about what we look like and it in turns changes how we feel about ourselves.

This may be just what I need.

To learn to love who I am... every day.
To expose that women over 35,a size 10, and a mother of 4 should be paid attention to.
To be silly,
To be serious
To be thoughtful.
Because this is what a feminist looks like.... at least this one anyways.
