I am Woman

I am Woman

I am Flesh therefore I bleed
I am Spirit therefore I heal

I am PROUD of my curves
I am humble with my words

My strength comes from within
I am Mother. Daughter. Sister. Friend.

Your Lover, Your Soul Mate
Your Wife and your best friend

I come from the moutains of Canada to the hills of England
I am a California Girl and a British story teller
I am a Southern Belle and a Virginian Pete
A Middle Eastern New Yorker.
A dog lover and a romantic fool.

Dalmatians are my life
Cats run my household

Single looking for love
Loved, yet independent

My pictures come from my heart and my soul
Whether with my digital camera in Alabama
or my picture cell phone in Hong Kong

I am a photographer

I am an artist

I am Woman.

Wow. I am at a loss for comments. Wow.

Lara - somehow over the week I've missed this?? Must be the time diff. thing?? Good for you - accept yourself for what you are? The picture and the words go so well together - stunning! Pleasure to know you through the PaD group :))

Hi Lara, I'll add my voice to the chorus that I find this piece really good. I just love when pictures comunicate feelings. By combining this self portrait with your poem, you are giving us an insight on who your are and it makes it so much more meaningful. Thanks for sharing it. Claudio

Lara, Your photo and poem are absolutly amazing as are you! You need to have this published in a magazine. Seriously. More real woman need to be in these magazines expressing their true beauty. Enough with this airbrushing and fake plastic sugery stuff. It makes me sick and sad for humanity that people actually buy into that stuff. Thank you for being a voice and face in the world of True beauty! Love, Kim

Lara this brings tears to my eyes too - such a brave, hopeful, endearing thing - I don't think I'll be this moved again for a long time. You are a Goddess!

Okay, you're a poet, and I didn't know, and I've known you since 1989!!!!I feel dumb. What a lovely poem and picture, Lara. Well done!

Did you write the poem? INCREDIBLE!!! The image is so powerful, and the words behind it are exceptional! Lara, the combination of the two is a delight!

Words of sheer empowerment - thank for that. This is beautiful, as are you.

"Three o'clock in the morning And it looks like it's gonna be another sleepless night" - Crystal Gayle OK, Its 4am now, but how else could I respond to such a brilliant PAD. Obviously more than just a photographer... I will try and get some sleep now :-)

Wow, Lara - you put us all together in a fantastic poem . . .and you got that nice little yoga meditative stance going too. This is cool. Looks like you put your sense of artistry & humor to good use! I salute you! And thanks for the inclusion ^_^
