SHE SAID GOODBYE ~ DEB


 

“She said goodbye with a tear in her eye.” ~Deb


 

I hate goodbyes.
I suffer from separation anxiety.
So I prefer to say “see ya later.”

 


This project for five years has introduced me to new friends, self-portrait
challenges and deep storytelling.
So I feel like saying “hello” instead of goodbye today.
Hello to the new me.
Hello to new adventures and projects.
Hello to you, my new friends.
Hello to a new year of fresh beginnings.

 


As the sun sets on this project, I bow with thanks, respect and honor to
Jennifer and Bella, my Sisters here.


 

Go forth and be you.


 

Here is my final goodbye from the Banana River.

 


Love,
Deb

SHE SAID GOODBYE ~ JENNIFER


 
“She said goodbye, remembering the past and looking to the future.” ~Jennifer
 
I’ve always felt physically and spiritually attuned to the four seasons. I love
the cycles through which nature passes each year: the planting of a seed in
spring, the growth and glory of summer, the golden harvest of autumn, the quiet
dormancy of winter. There truly is a season for everything in this life. How
appropriate that as I sit here writing my final She is Three post, it happens to
be the winter solstice.
 
The house is finally quiet. All lights are out except for the glow of my laptop
screen and a faint orange blur emanating from the last embers in the fireplace.
It’s time to rest. The cycle is complete. My seed of an idea for a
self-portraiture project exploring the three phases of womanhood was planted
five years ago. It grew as did I. Every month I showed up, often struggling and
always seeking. I acknowledged weaknesses and discovered hidden strengths. I
gave and received loving support in this sacred circle of women. I also found
light around me and within me…light I thought was either lost forever or
unattainable to begin with.
 
The day I took my final self-portrait, I held three sprigs of rosemary for
remembrance. At the same time, I faced forward, ready to move on. The last of
the day’s sun shone behind me, illuminating my neck and highlighting my throat
chakra.
 
Tonight I’m honoring the longest night of the year by mirroring nature’s process
of slowing down. I’m sitting in stillness. I’m giving thanks for the brave and
wonderful women who participated in this project over the years. I’m also saying
goodbye as I remember the past and look to the future. I’m gratefully laying the
seasons of She is Three to rest and preparing to welcome whatever journey comes
next.

SHE SAID GOODBYE ~ BELLA

 

“She said goodbye.” ~Bella

 

I’ve been thinking about endings and how they are gateways to new beginnings.
What a gift it was to receive the invitation to join She is Three from Deb and
Jennifer. The idea of exploring topics through self-portraiture scared me to
death, a sign that this was the next right step on my journey.

Goodbyes beg of us to pause and reflect. I have looked through all of my photos
and outtakes from the three years of self-portraits I have taken for this
project and I am in awe of what they reveal. I see a woman, at times strong and
at other times she’s held together by a thread. I see in this woman sparks of
joy married with tears of grief. I see her commitment to showing up even when
she’s feeling resistant. She is constantly becoming her next best self.

Thank you for coming on this journey with us. It has been a pleasure to be a
part of this project with you and alongside you. Goodbyes are gateways to new
beginnings. I am standing in the doorway, saying goodbye to one great thing and
welcoming the next.

SHE SAID GOODBYE

 

With December here, it’s almost time to say goodbye to 2016. As this year draws
to a close, so too does our five-year collaboration at She is Three. We have
grown and learned deeply during this process; so much so that our journey here
feels complete.  While we’re sad to say goodbye to this project, we feel blessed
to have had this sacred time to walk each other home.

Thank you for traveling along the road with us as we peeled back layer after
layer of our lives as women. We hope you’ve felt inspired and empowered at some
point along the way, connecting to the maiden, the mother, and the crone in each
of you. If you’d like to join us for one last month together, tag your
self-portraits #sheisthreedotcom #shesaidgoodbye on Instagram!

We’ll be back here to share the final stories behind our photos on the 14th,
21st, and 28th of December. Goodbye for now, ladies…

SHE LOOKED IN THE MIRROR ~ DEB

 

“She looked in the mirror with curious intention.” ~Deb

 

Some days are easier than others to peek around the corner into that raw
reflection of YOUrself.
Sometimes I see the extra wrinkles and baggy eyes. Other days I see vibrant
curiosity with a mischievous grin. Some days I see the curve of my strong
shoulders who just sat with a friend, weeping about her life circumstances. And
finally those days when all I see is my softening belly and jiggly thighs.

Yet I keep showing up. With camera in hand. With curious creativity to embrace
these days of aging gracefully.

As I looked back on my archive of self-portraits, I discovered a surprising
collection of shots involving mirrors.
They seem to add mystery to the photo I am creating.
Some offer a soft, dreamy vintage feeling, with crackly backgrounds, beveled
edges and intricate frames.
Others are those moments in a public bathroom selfie shot.
And how about that one we all have in the car rearview mirror, right?

Technology today offers timers and front facing settings on our cameras and
mobile phones.
But did you know that mirror self-portraits actually began in the early 1800s?
If you are as fascinated by this fact that I am, click here for some great
examples.
I adore seeing all the different types of cameras!

If you are so inclined to join our self-portrait journey, we would love to find
you with #shelookedinthemirror #sheisthreedotcom. And if you follow me on
Instagram, come have a peek at my #debinthemirror for inspiration!

SHE LOOKED IN THE MIRROR ~ JENNIFER

 

“She looked in the mirror and saw three.” ~Jennifer

 

In January of 2012, I got the inspiration to begin this project. It literally
was a breath of air when I felt as though I were suffocating. I had no time or
space of my own. I was sleep-deprived, angry, overwhelmed, confused. I had what
I would call creative laryngitis. There was so much I desperately wanted to
express, but I was voiceless. During those cold, dark days and nights, I yearned
for a haven. I needed a place to go for support and release. I was struggling in
my postpartum body. I hoped for a safe environment where I could work my way
through the rocky terrain of being a new mother. I wished more than ever that my
own mom were still alive.

I had made the passage from maiden to mother, but it was not an easy one. I
missed much of my former independence. I wanted my body back. I loved my husband
and knew what a beautiful blessing our daughter was, but something was still
amiss.  Ideas and emotions were boiling within me and rising to the surface. I
needed the protective embrace of a women’s circle where I could be witnessed but
not judged. That’s when I invited two creative souls to join me in exploring
womanhood and its three phases: maiden, mother, crone.

I avoided looking in the mirror back then. When I did, I saw nothing but an
exhausted mess staring back at me. The maiden was gone. I experienced none of
the joy of my former self. I couldn’t find the earthly wisdom of the crone in
the distance. I felt ruined, broken, sliced into pieces.

Almost five years have passed since then. I’m now the mother of two amazing
children. I’m still tired and busy, which is to be expected. I’m still finding
my way through womanhood, but I know I’m not alone. I’ve waded in the healing
waters of this community. I’ve been seen. I’ve seen you. And now I see more than
a broken woman when I look in the mirror. I recognize the joy of the maiden. I
acknowledge the ever-changing middle path of the mother and how I shift along
with it. And I know the wise woman is right by my side. I might not perceive her
clearly, but she is always there, ready to step into the picture.  She is me,
and I am three.

SHE LOOKED IN THE MIRROR ~ BELLA

 
“She looked in the mirror and felt acceptance.” ~Bella

 
I have struggled with my appearance. This is no secret. I’ve written about it
multiple times over the years that I have been sharing my photos and words here.
There has always been something that I have been searching for, the magical
“thing” that will help me feel comfortable in my skin. And when I say I’ve
searched for it, what I really mean is that I’ve tried to buy it or emulate it
or adopt it as a new way to be, hoping all the while “this is it, this is going
to be the thing that helps me feel whole, complete, and right.”
 
This has been quite a year for my family and I. My husband had triple bypass
surgery last month. He is doing great at this point in his recovery process. The
last three months of my life have revolved solely around doctors, testing, and
praying he makes it through each day. It has also been a time of deep reflection
of what really matters in this small amount of time this life consists of. I
have emerged from this experience a stronger soul. I’m less reliant on finding
that “thing” I was so convinced would make me happy. Today, I look in the mirror
and feel gratitude for my health. Knowing that all my parts are healthy and work
just as they should is the ultimate gift. There is nothing outside of me that I
need to fill the well when just being alive and breathing is enough. Everything
else is just icing on the cake.

SHE LOOKED IN THE MIRROR

 

What do you see when you look in the mirror? How do you feel when you face your
own reflection? Are there emotions that bubble up to the surface when you peer
into your own eyes?

These are the concepts we’re investigating this month at She is Three. As the
November days pass, we hope you’ll look in the mirror and try turning the camera
on yourselves. It might not be easy, but it will be an opportunity to learn and
grow. We gently invite you to share your self-portraits in our community pool on
Instagram using the hashtags #sheisthreedotcom #shelookedinthemirror.  Doing so
is optional.  Whether you choose to participate on Instagram or not, we hope our
experiments in self-portraiture inspire you, encourage you, and remind you to
see yourselves with kindness.

We’ll be back here on the Si3 blog to share our quotes and the stories behind
our photos on the 14th, 21st, and 28th of November. Until then, here is a sneak
peek from the three of us:

SHE IS WILD ~ DEB


 


“She is wild as weather.” ~Deb


 

Hurricanes and Tornadoes.
Floods and Freezes.
I’ve experienced them all.
Literally first hand because weather destroyed my homes, more than once.

 

Sometimes I remind myself of a bad storm…twirling and swirling.
I cause a bit of emotional havoc because I am restless and always changing.
My loved ones rarely find sturdy, solid ground under my feet.
They know that I am headstrong and willing to blow away with the wind, as it
changes.

 

But I like my life that that. I crave change.
I chase the new and exciting storms.
Ready to ride the wave.

 

But another truth about me is this…I can be the calm after the storm.
I can be a sweet summer kiss of sunshine on your cheek.
In my stillness I am like a gentle cool breeze on the first day of Fall.
I can quench your Soul like a gentle rain.

 

No matter what or where, I am always there. Just like the wild weather.

SHE IS WILD ~ JENNIFER


 
“She is wild about nature.” ~Jennifer
 
The meaning of wildness has come full circle for me. I feel a return happening;
a return to the innocence and imagination of youth. I’m reconnecting with the
little girl in me who saw life through a lens of magic. That little girl didn’t
know darkness. She reveled in stories of fairies and unicorns. She felt the
allure of the fiddleheads unfolding in the woods. She found enchantment amongst
the daffodils. She was captivated by verdant patches of moss and silvery swaths
of moonlight.

I’ve never thought of myself as wild before, but now I realize that I am. We all
are in one way or another. I’m not reckless or riotous, but I am daring. I have
a great sense of adventure, though my feats are much tamer since marriage and
motherhood. And yet, it is in this phase of my life that I am recovering my true
wildness. It is a wildness that was buried beneath years of dust and
disillusionment. Mine is the wild heart of a girl who is deeply connected to
nature. I’m fascinated with how the light plays off of everything around me. I’m
in love with flowers. I’m wild about autumn, with its gleaming days and crisp
nights. I’m downright amazed at all of the healing potential in this world.
There is so much beauty out there, and I’m happiest when I take the time to soak
it in.
