Day 10: Self Portrait

Nothing annoys me more then someone who takes a daily slew of photos of themselves and posts it all over there social network. We know who you are and what you look like! Today's photo challenge, self portrait, is giving me the opportunity to remind people of what I look like in a still photo. Now I will admit I took about 15 photos before I finally decided which one I wanted to use instead of overwhelming you with them and asking "which one do you like best" or "which side of my face is better looking"? So why this one? Easy, the minute I saw it I noticed I finally have the features of the most amazing woman I know who raised me to be a strong and independent woman. I saw within myself my mother, Sonya. After 28 years, and a much slimmer face, I finally have the same beautiful features my mom does, except I still have the Bond nose. My entire life everyone has told me I look like my dad but tonight when she posted her self portrait next to mine on FB, I immediately noticed I look just like her. Its funny how women don't want to grow up to be like there mothers, let alone look like them. I feel differently. I would like to grow up to be at least half the woman my mom is and would love to have her age defying good looks, and her new nose! LOL! Thank you mom for giving me not only my awesome personality but the looks any daughter would be grateful for!

This is my amazing and beautiful Mom! I love and adore her!
