My motivation is this ~ I want to pay attention to what I HAVE BEEN paying a lot of attention to re: how I look to others AND how that makes me feel about myself.
As promised, here are two images that show what I was using before and what I’m using for these 60 Naked Face days.
The sizing of these images is intentional, as is everything I’m doing during Naked Face. I’m paying attention and I’m lightening my load.

I find myself singing the old Doris Day song in my head, “Que sera sera, whatever will be will be….”
