I really want to be the winner of the first Miss Nappturality Contest, but I know that if I’m not I will never regret this journey at all. All of the women here are so beautiful.
I know. I’ve checked them all out. And we’re all so different. I can actually see every one of us being the new face of Eden Body Works. But I’m trying really hard not to picture the others as the winner, since it’s me I need to be envisioning with the crown. LOL
So I’ve decided that the easiest way to stand out in this sea of beauty is to just be me. No one does that better than me. Just be real and honest — long-winded and all. You see, writing is now my passion. I thought I was a nurse, but now I know that was just the vehicle to get me to where I am now, not to mention the lessons learnt. But my passion has always been all things “arty.” I love art, poetry/spoken word, music, singing/song writing, theatre, stage craft, film – anything dealing with art and creativity. So how did I end up in the nursing profession? Don’t know. It was safe I guess…and there was a time when I couldn’t put down health and medical books. I loved reading about different diseases and conditions. I actually wanted to be a doctor at one time. So glad I didn’t pursue that. Can’t imagine trying to change careers after dedicating so much time to one profession. Which is exactly what I’m doing right now.
