thirty three



In my 33rd year I will make an honest effort to spend more time with my friends, my family and all the others who fit somewhere in between. I will honor myself by remembering to take care of myself. I will honor others by not trying to take care of them. I will be 100 percent honest with everyone. Even when that's hard, and even when that hurts. No more layers of truth - no more bullshit. This year I found out I am a tiger and not a rabbit. No offense to rabbits, but I do indeed feel more like a tiger. Especially this year.

For the past 8 years I've taken self portraits on my birthday and this is the first year I've been completely at peace with the shot. While I'm a bit more wrinkled and worn, I'm also a bit more sturdy and sure, and quite a bit more authentically me.

Happy B-Day Kari! This is a great pic for 33. No more drama... always the truth. There's always a good and bad way to tell the truth even when it's going to hurt.
