Isn’t it amazing what we can do with a simple photo app? The peony is from my garden, but I wanted to play. I love watercolor and with a quick free download, my photo is now painter’s masterpiece!

It’s so easy to disguise ourselves. In efforts to hide who we truly are, we often cover, enhance, change and distort ourselves. We change our looks, project false images, and keep others from getting too close.

Our true beauty shines when we are truly ourselves – no alterations.

Meandering thru life 
We sometimes disguise ourselves because we don’t like ourselves.

God bless.
