What a feelin!

I'm an artist, and twice a week I give charcoal classes. I begin with a still life subject , then I get in the spotlight and pose for 40 min or so. Yesterday, as I sat in a yoga pose on the floor in front of my students,I told them I was almost ready to go out bald. One lady suggested I take off my wig and pose for them like that. I wanted to very badly just to see how I would feel. So I checked if that was ok with everyone, and got a "Go for it" response.

Oop there it is .The blushing bald model.( under a bright spotlight) It was a moment I won't forget. The heat from the lamp on my head, and the heat on my cheeks from the adrenaline . I felt so brave and proud of myself.
My students told me I was beautiful and that their drawing couldn't do justice, and I felt they really meant it.

I know this disease is difficult, but baby steps toward acceptance( in a positive light ),and the support of good people makes all the difference in the world.

Well, God Bless You, you was very brave and also means that you feel very confident and that's a way to show people that there is no limitations, no physical impairment, and the results will be to inspired others to cross out barriers that most of them are only in our minds not physical...
Hugs,
