As in "2017 has been a TEST of my fortitude"
I can explain in greater detail on a private date but I can assure you that my year has had far more negative events - one after the other and some simultaneously even - than nearly every year of my life combined. Hence my limited posts, extended response times, lack of new photos (I'm sorry: planning new photos for February for sure and paying in full advance the 2nd of the month which gives me a month to prepare my looks and if I do duo photos too!) as well as stagnant motivation or inspiration.
It's good though. Nothing permanent, nothing that's more than just emotional trials or circumstances.
Stay strong everyone - know that we each struggle and have to endure "The Test" so try to embrace the failures, losses, accidents and turmoil. It makes it so much easier to function to be slightly detached and aloof. Find your people and stick close. The true friends are there when you smile, your real friends are there when you need them to help you smile.
Smiling, loving and missing being part of all this!
But I am diving in - actually, CANNONBALL! Because I plan to make another huge splash again!
I'm back just in time for 2018 - this will be my best year so far, with all your help I mean!
Let's have fun!
