It’s monthly prompt time again. This time Molly chose “All About the Women.” I took some time to think about this. The inspiration took a little longer than when the prompt was all about the men. I didn’t want to jump into the feminine pics that I don’t feel represent me. I thought about my body. Currently aspects of my body aren’t great. I have joint pain and along with that I have flexibility problems. I also have a lot of demands on me and significant stress levels. All of this takes a toll on both my physical and emotional feelings. I wanted to represent some honesty about me as a woman. The collection of pictures below is a glimpse of that. It is an example of how the whole is so much more than the sum of the parts. The large picture is seeing me through my man’s eyes and it is a view that he always finds beautiful.
I am a real woman – aches and all. I am beautiful.

I liked the honesty of the post, and felt the same about doing something similar. Though the larger collection of photos express the more negative; I’m sorry your body is giving you issues (I have so many days like this, as well).
Thank you.
I like that your biggest photograph positive. Like you, there are many bits of me that don’t quite work as well as they should but, I think, as the full portrait suggests, we have to look at ourselves as a whole and appreciate all the pluses. Jane xxx
The parts good or bad can’t define me. Only my whole can do that.
“The whole is such more than the sum of the parts”
So true. And you are beautiful!

Thank you for such a lovely comment.
This is absolutely beautiful in every way. Sorry to hear about the aspects of your body that aren’t great, but they are still part of who you are as a woman, and we appreciate your candor.
Thank you.
I can relate to the physical problems. You are correct that you are a beautiful woman. 🙂
Thank you. I hope you and Silverdrop are well.
I love this, the way you have shown the little pieces of the jigsaw and how when fitted together they make a complete picture that is beautiful.

What a wonderful comment. Thank you.
This is such a beautiful post, it’s the imperfections that make us who we are and also make us all the more beautiful.
Lovely! What a great illustration of the fact that we are sums of our parts, even if individual parts are off or hurting, the whole is beautiful.
Look at those adorable feet!
The whole is definitely more than the sum of the parts. Beautiful! 🙂

Reconciling physical issues and confidence in your own beauty – this is something which I too have to work so hard at and I love how honest you’ve been here. Lovely post.
What beautiful images showing the pain that we go thru every day. I feel like this most of the time but deal with it.
Your bare back looks so sexy. You’re a beautiful woman. I can’t help jerking off to your images.
