Same Body, Second Glance: Day Seven
July 7, 2014 Open to this day and wherever it leads… ❤ /// {{Wondering what’s going on here?? Almost a year ago, I found myself on bad terms with the person in the mirror. So I made a commitment: every day for forty days, I’d take *one* photograph of my body that I could honestly […]
Same Body, Second Glance: Day Six
July 6, 2014 I’m going to share an image today that is a little scarier for me… one that happened completely by accident. While setting up my camera (a.k.a. my iPhone) for a different shot, I walked into the lens partially dressed, in just a slip and a tank top, and caught sight of myself […]
Same Body, Second Glance: Day Five
July 5, 2014 I took some braver images today, but this shot – a safer one – was the part of myself that I was ready to honestly see as beautiful. What I love about this project is that it charges me with the difficult task of being true to myself, the person I am right […]

Same Body, Second Glance: Day One
July 1, 2014 Friends: more than a decade ago, I accomplished the hardest thing I have ever done when I recovered from a longtime eating disorder. Since then, my relationship with my body has been like too many marriages of about the same age: healthy, but not always happy. Content, but not always joyous. Over […]
Same Body, Second Glance: A Bold Attempt to See Myself Anew
A few days ago, I promised to unveil a new project today … One that was vulnerable. One that scared me. This is it. * Almost a year ago, I found myself in a kind of a rut. I’d been recovered from an on-again, off-again eating disorder for more than a decade by then. I […]
