My last goal reward has been done! My elusive dream of having a real photo shoot done by a real photographer/artist who's even been published in magazines was done yesterday. It was so much more awesome than I ever could have imagined. I could not be MORE pleased with the pics. I've attached my favorites. Now, keep in mind that I'm a bit of a darkling so these aren't typical pose and smile pics. They're very different!
I loved this so much I've already scheduled another shoot!!
Enjoy!

Your dream came true...and you deserved it!
"Lee, by "own it!" your daughter means that you should be proud of your accomplishment and understand that you deserve this. Not because you have to pay it forward or backward to justify your own benefits. She means that this is YOUR accomplishment, and accomplishing that for yourself is enough. You do not have to fix everybody. And you do not owe anyone for the benefits you have earned. They are YOURS!" Ann2

I love them!!! Sounds like it was a blast.
Maybe I'll make a boudoir photo shoot my goal/reward...after a tummy tuck.

Beautiful pics! It's funny though from your posts I never would have "believed" there was anything dark about you. No denying you are gorgeous and I'm so proud of you for all of your accomplishments.
