THIS is what evoked my strong determination to stop using filters & photoshop; haven’t used any since prior to July ‘20 and my confidence/self-esteem has improved tenfold because of it. #beautysick #realisbetter #loveitorleaveit

It’s extremely FRIGHTENING to wonder what people will think (even other females!) when seeing you without all of the STUFF. On the contrary, it’s extremely FREEING to know that people already HAVE seen you without any of it. My motto is: love it or leave it!👊🏻 #authenticity

There was a time when I wouldn’t be caught DEAD without a full face of makeup (even just to walk the dogs at 6:00 in the morning or run into the store for one item!) and I wouldn’t DARE post a picture without using a filter first. Self-love is the best love! #nomakeupnofilter

I understand the artistic value of altering creative pics (like nature and things), but there’s no acceptable justification to alter your appearance. It’s detrimental to mental health on so many levels. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthisimportant #nofilter #nomakeup #iamenough

As of now, Denver, CO, is my number one choice but I’m still investigating!🏔️ Turns out there’s a shortage of geriatric speech therapists just about everywhere, so it’s all about location preference! Life’s too short to remain idle due to the unknown. Goodbye, heat & humidity!

It’s invigorating to meet men like this because it eases future anxiety of, “What’s he going to think of me when he sees what I look like without makeup?!” Allowing others to see you bare will also demonstrate that someone likes you for YOU, not some Barbie doll BS fantasy. #bare

I used to avoid smiling in pictures just so the “crow’s feet” wouldn’t show. What I didn’t realize at the time is how ridiculous it made me look! Now I ALWAYS smile in pics regardless because⬇️ wrinkles > duck lips (I didn’t start banning filters/photoshop until July 2020.)

Don’t take health advice from someone that isn’t fitter than you. Don’t take financial advice from someone that has a lot of debt. Don’t take parenting advice from someone whose kids are out of control. Don’t take relationship advice from someone that is in a toxic relationship.

Bowser Franklin transitioned peacefully in my loving arms, at home, with his sisters close nearby. The sad truth is that it’s rare for dogs to pass peacefully on their own; they love us so much that they’ll struggle for days on end. Please search for this service in your area.

I need LOTS of prayers for Bear. A vessel in her throat growth burst & surgery to remove the growth (which is right next to her trachea & she has tracheal collapse) is her only chance. She’s 13.5 & my other dog died from anesthesia so I’m hysterical right now at the ER.
