"Such a fun, magical experience! Also: way the eff outside my comfort zone. Dancing freely around a room with my 40-year old body that has had two kids and has weathered trauma over the past ten years while she took my picture. Yep, that was outside my comfort zone. But damn if every year older I get, I keep giving fewer and fewer you-know-whats about my insecurities. Letting her not only see me, but capture that piece of my spirit. Well, I’m considering this my belated 40th birthday present to myself.”
