I was just thinking tonight about something. As a Woman, I Am So Grateful To Live Have Equal Rights, Vote, Have Freedom of Speech, Be respected, Have Freedom of Religion or Non Religion, Freedom of Thought, Freedom of Movement, Freedom of Expression... And To Take It Even Further: I am thankful to live in a day and age where we women have the Amazing really. I am so thankful. And I am very grateful to have met all of you here on BP that I have formed bonds and friendships with and feel a kinship with as if you are my own family. Thanks for your support and comments and for being that cheering section that my parents would still love to be if they were still here. We are all in this photography thing together and even when there were times we don't see each other much on here, you are never forgotten in my heart. There were (for me) times my friends outside of this club and also family or extended family didn't see any great merit in my work. Maybe is has been the same for you at some point? Yet here on BP, we saw it in each other and have supported each other as family would and should. Cheering each other on when we have been able to. This means so much to me and it keeps me trying and on the cutting edge. Not giving up on this Art/Photography that I love. I'm just sitting here tonight feeling very lucky. :D THANK YOU ALL. -Laura :D

Well fancy that, I have only just finished writing on your other image, exactly what you are saying here, "Strive to be different". And your lovely writings too, you are a very special young lady!! Never lose sight of the person you are, never be derailed of whom you want to become. Keep striving to explore new areas and territories which will take you to new dimensions. You can do it, Miss Lauraloulou!!

Hi Jo Ann :) Hi Deb! Two of my favorite people on BP! :D Like an Auntie and a Sister! :D Actually, Jo Ann, I am a published writer. I have been for years...but I have a book or movie in me and I hope I can get it out before I pass away. It will be a comedy, of course. :D Wish I could tell you more because I think it will be great! We need to stay in touch so I can tell you if it ever hits the bookstores or theaters. :D Thank you for always being here for and with me! You guys are the best! I appreciate your confidence in me more than you might know! See you in our galleries! -LauraLouLou :D

Another cool and creative SP (1/2 of one, anyway) that I missed when it was posted... :/ Pom, I totally agree about everything you said about how unbelievably lucky we are to be women in the Western World in this century. When I do the Five Things I'm Grateful For Today before going to sleep, the freedom to be ourselves, and to try/succeed in so many opportunities we receive, is always # 1 or # 2. So Shine On, Silver Girl, and thanks for the reminder that we get to do the same.
