thank you joan! henna is pretty too! :]Laura E. Swan June 20, 2008
Whoa. What a great mood shot. Many SP's can lack this. You look like a very deep thinker. You have been through a lot in your short life and it shows through. Cool! You're a survivor. -Laura Swan ~DRU~ #6083211Destiny D. Seelatsee June 20, 2008
wow...those are strong thoughts.Laura E. Swan June 20, 2008
I meant my strong thoughts in the best of ways. I am just reading what I pick up on by your expression and look. I can just "feel" things looking at your SP.I know just what you mean about alone vs. lonely. There is a huge difference. For myself, meditation is where it's at. We find our center there, among other things. -Laura :) #6083244

Hi Destiny. Welcome to the club. I really like your use of soft focus coupled with the harsh high key type look, because you don't often see those two together. I suspect that represents the person you are, that isn't often seen by those who don't care to see. This is a well executed SP. #6104756Destiny D. Seelatsee June 30, 2008
Thank You So Much Aggie! I do agree that my photos show me as a person and hopefully others can see that as well. Maybe view my photo(s) and let them wonder some way in their own minds to try to connect with me on some level :) #6126835Candice L. Carter July 01, 2008
