Stillness In the moments of stillness while still at the computer late at night. I heart a voice telling me to look up! Across the room in the mirror was a woman surrounded by a light taking up little space. I for the first time seen an unfiltered view and not the filters on the phone but the filters of words and thoughts we place over our own image. I found myself with a little grin and a, “yes look at you!” This mirror reflects many stories, helped write the books. This reflection and I had been enemies longer than we have been friends. Last night as I seen the unfiltered look of a woman who had just seen a memory selfie picture pop up on my phone I laughed and said to the reflection. I bet I can guess which one they would believe to be the healthiest and happiest when taking a quick look? Today as I turn it all back on I may dress the part but the difference is I am no longer having to convince myself. On the way to 50 I stopped believing that the magic was in what the world thought of me! I stopped giving it my all to everyone else and became all that I needed to be for me! #notafraid #notbroken #imperfect #agingwithgrace #morethanexistingwithcorriethorne https://www.instagram.com/p/CKy3nfrjMPh/?igshid=1arz4jkhqd0bc
