I made this card intuitively… I’d found the woman in the chair in a magazine somewhere.Ā She was sitting in front of a big building with lots of graffiti on it, and I didn’t like the background, so I cut her out completely and then tried out several different backgrounds until I felt “just right” about this one.
Who are you? I am the one who sits under the ancient African tree at the sunset time of my life.Ā I am the one who dares to sit naked here in my pearls and sandals and doesn’t care who sees my naked body.Ā I am the one who is comfortable in my own skin.Ā I am the one who is facing away from the setting sun.Ā I am the one who is facing another bright Sun.Ā I am the one who is content with where I’ve been, and with who and where I am.
What do you have to give me? I give you grounded contentment.Ā I give you something to look forward to.Ā I give you a sense of ancient history that is behind you.Ā I give you knowledge that there is something beyond the setting sun, something to look forward to as you age.Ā I give you a sense of grace and style and a remembering of who you really are.
What do you want from me? I want you to sit down and relax and enjoy your own body, your own company, your own aging.Ā I want you to look forward to what is next.Ā I want you to relax into your own skin.Ā I want you to be comfortable with who you are with all of who you are- body, mind and spirit.Ā I want you to retain your own personal authentic sense of style.
