Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.

Learn as if you were to live forever."

"...We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. ... And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Nelson Mandela
“Each of us has that right, that possibility, to invent ourselves daily. If a person does not invent herself, she will be invented. So, to be bodacious enough to invent ourselves is wise.” - Maya Angelou

I see you like to accessorize.
I like a good scarf.
In leui of flowers I wore an amazing scarf to my daughter's wedding.
THanks for dropping by.
Beautiful photos! And very wrinkly.
My Photo Hunt is up, too! Please visit and leave your link. :) http://newyorktraveler.net/photo-hunters-wrinkled/
I've been looking for summer scarves and now summer is almost over.. LOL
Very pretty! I have several wrinkly scarves that I adore too :)
Very colorful!

Thanks so much for visiting my ‘wrinkled’ scarf collection at Sacred Ruminations and leaving the link to your Photo Hunt posts for this week. I enjoyed my visits to your blogs, and have left comments for you there. Hope you’re having a lovely weekend.
Hugs and blessings,
Nice choice, but I had to smile to myself as I was thinking that my scarves are wrinkled from being in the drawer too long and not being worn. I'm not much of a scarf person.
I like this header, too. I wish I were smart enough to design a new header for my blog and not have to rely on a picture I have taken or one someone else has taken.
Hope you are having a good weekend.

Thanks. I actually used the ‘center’ scarf photo for my ‘colorful’ Photo Hunt at Small Reflections this week, but didn’t want to post a photo of my wrinkly face … so I made the ‘wrinkled’ collage for here today. Actually ... I don't wear scarves often either, but I'm trying to get myself to do so by leaving them 'handy' ... just because.
As for the headers, I made BOTH of them from photographs I took in Taos last summer by bringing them into the 'editor' of Photoshop Elements and resizing the images experimentally until I finally found a size that worked. Trial and error worked for me ... though it did take multiple tries over a period of a few weeks. I added the 'text' in Photoshop too and saved the images as a JPEGs to upload them to blogger. It's all stuff I learned to do in my first two PSE classes.
Hugs and blessings,
Very lovely. I almost posted a collage of scarves, too.
They may be wrinkly, but they're so colorful and beautiful :)
Awesome shots. So wrinkled! I posted my contribution this morning. Hope you will visit and say hello!

My daughter is 14 and she LOVES scarves!
Nice wrinkles :)
Lots of great wrinkled fabrics! I love the colors and the wrinkles. :)
To all – I appreciate your visit to last week’s Photo Hunt and apologize about being so S L O W to respond here. I think I visited each of your blogs, but this weekend while I’m visiting ‘beautiful’ Photo Hunt … (and other miscellaneous posts in my ‘reader’) … I’ll try to remember to check to be sure.
Patricia – Interesting … you know what they say about ‘great minds’ right? LOL
Sandy (Momisodes) – They’re actually DESIGNED to be ‘wrinkly’ and in addition to the colors, that’s a big reason why I own them.
Enigma – I’m glad you enjoyed my colorful ‘wrinkles’ here.
Tammy – Kids are so much more ‘conscious’ of these things today. A 14 I didn’t have any ‘fashion sense’ at all … and may not have known what a scarf was, but I do enjoy such ‘accent pieces’ now.
Debbie – Thanks ;--)
Lisa’s Chaos – Yup … I own LOTS of ‘wrinkled’ things but these scarves are some of my favorites for sure.
To all again – I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend.
Hugs and blessings,
