WORDLESS WEDNESDAY, DAY 10
DAY 10 of the Wego Health Activist Writer's Month Challenge: It's Wordless Wednesday (YAY!) and I'm to post my favorite picture of myself. I chose this photo for five reasons:
- It's a self-portrait
- It was taken post-cancer and represents my "new" life
- It was shot at the beach (one of my favorite places!)
- It was taken on a day I was hanging out with my friend R., who has metastatic breast cancer. When I see this image, it reminds me of her. (R. is doing remarkably well despite having mets for many years. She is feeling terrific. BIG shout-out to R.!)
- It represents the mystery in me. You may have noticed that I'm rather shy about revealing who I am on my blog. That may seem strange since I'm certainly not shy about writing about breast cancer! But I find it more liberating to write from behind the shadows. Of course, this could change at any time. But that day is not today.
I love the choice of the photo Renn, mostly I love the reasons you chose it. Many of us bloggers love to write but don't always want to expose our real identity and I can understand that... I was there in the past...
ReplyDeleteGreat post Renn :)
:-)
DeleteVery intriguing, Renn. I like the picture very much. It somehow reminds me of being in Barcelona. ~Catherine

DeleteExcellent pic! I've used shadow photos at other times in my life to reflect my status. I totally understand your choice. JoAnn
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, thanks for stopping by. I love taking shadow pictures!
DeleteRenn, I have wondered about you and #5. I have a feeling in the "real" world, we would be friends too. Who knows? Maybe we'll run into each other in our favorite place - the beach. Did I tell you, I met AnneMarie in DC this week? Surreal.
ReplyDeleteYvonne, LOL!! I think we'd be friends too! I saw AnneMarie's photo of you guys on Twitter, that is very cool that you got to meet. One day!
DeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteRenn I love this photo!
