All really interesting girls invent themselves.

How would you describe yourself?

Are you an adventurer?

A traveler?

A romantic?

A diva?

I would describe myself as a few things – a loyal friend, a curious cook, and a girl with a lust for traveling.  I wasn’t always all of those things (except for maybe the friend thing, I’ve always been a loyal girlfriend!) and only discovered more of my interests and strengths in recent years.  I saw these pictures from Olivia Malone and wondered about the connecting theme of the pictures.  Strong, beautiful woman are represented in a variety of settings, each seemingly different from the next one.

But couldn’t this describe us as well?  We pick up different roles in our lives and evolve as we get older.  We may also show different sides of ourselves to different people.  Our evolution is what makes us interesting.  How have you invented yourself?

Have a lovely week!

    Beautiful photos! I love the image of the woman on the horse. I would love to invent myself as someone who takes things in stride and rolls with the punches. Sadly, I’m nearly the exact opposite of that at the moment!

    I love how you always get us thinking when analyzing beautiful images. So true how as we evolve and grow up, our roles have been altered too. The second photo is enchanting

    I agree! We’re constantly growing and changing. Interests also changes as one gets older! I know mine have changed through the stages of life. I enjoy traveling when I can, I like to meditate, I never thought I would be blogging and so much more. I believe we all have steps in life which lead us to other things or the next challenge!

      Well said my dear. We all go through different stages of life and evolve. All the stages aren’t easy (like the one I’m in now!) but hopefully it prepares us for something better!

    that last shot is so stellar – don’t you just wish you could be in that moment?

    I love this and think it is so thought provoking – the images just go along with your beautiful words. I love that life is filled with constant evolution – we can be anything we want if we keep working on it, which is so reassuring.

      Thank you for your kind words Allison! You definitely said it – life is about change (Whether we want it or not!) and it is great that we can adapt/evolve with those changes!

    I’m pretty much all of those things 🙂 Definitely an adventurer and traveler!
    Really lovely photos!

    These images are stunning! I love the idea that we are constantly adapting and reinventing ourselves based on where we are in life and the situations we find ourselves in.

    The second one is my favorite, absolutely stunning!

    So thought provoking. I’m definitely a passionate traveler who likes to eat and move and love. I’m also a diva and quite competitive. Beautiful post.

      Thank you for the sweet words dear. It has also been great seeing your roles as appreciative gourmet to traveler and educator. I can’t wait to see what comes next!
