She may be viewed with passion in mind or she may be viewed as intelligent, discerning, determined and her own person.
Don’t confuse the two. Just because a woman is passionate does not mean she is not also, strong willed and a capable individual up for life’s challenges (more than a few of them very difficult).
And never forget she is loving of all life, tender and nurturing. So a woman is many things – But most of all (for all my female friends out there if you don’t know this you should – “She Is Essential!” for exactly who she is!
The Essential Woman
Yes, all these photographs are of me. And the drawing is also one I sketched awhile back. I’m making a point that not only I, but all women have inside of us vast reserves to call upon. So much capability locked up inside. We make a difference for others, everyday of our lives, may I remind you ladies to also make a difference for yourself … because you’re more than worth it … you are essential!
All my love,
Penny
The Why About This 
Beautiful photos of you, Penny, and wonderful reminders of what we women are made of! 🙂 “I am Woman hear me roar…” ♫ I couldn’t resist! ♥
Hi Lauren, thank you kindly for your compliment, yes we are women hear us roar… ! Totally agree dearest friend! ♥ Have an excellent weekend! 🙂
A beautiful woman both inside and out, that you most definitely are! A lovely reminder that I was needing. Thank you dear friend. 🙂
It does seem as if we have to work a little harder at some of those things, doesn’t it? ( I refer to what’s on the inside). 🙂
Wow Penny, what a fabulous post, showing the many sides of Penny, the many facets of the woman. So beautiful. 🙂
Thank you, Debby. It does seem as is women have to work a little harder for many to see beyond the immediate view of things! 🙂
🙂
Beautiful pictures and thoughts Penny 🙂
Thank you, so very kindly for your lovely compliments Mrdubala, all were presented here with sincerity. 🙂
These are all wonderful pictures, Penny!
I agree that kindness is oft taken for weakness — and that fact doesn’t negate the essential nature of it.
Thank you for your compliment, it is appreciated and thank you even more for understanding the message that went along with the photographs. xx
Beautiful photos and lovely sentiments…we females should be celebrating who we are and what we have to offer so much more than we ever do…we have a strength behind the softness that too many men just fail to see…or choose not to see, preferring to believe the strength comes from them…but behind every successful man is a strong woman!!
Thank you kindly, sweet friend of mine. Yes we should be celebrating more. I had a man once say to me “I wish I was a female, you guys have it made” and you know what, I agreed saying … “for certain I wouldn’t want to be a male!” And I agree with your last statement, completely!!!
AnElephantCant find his old wallet
He wants to see if he has any cash in it
If yes you just need to say
And he is on his way
He does not realise that sweet Penny is so passionate!
Why how thoughtful of you to consider spending the money to make a trip, all the way from France to the Northwest side of America for a friendly visit. You are too kind! xo
AnElephant does this once before
Although he thinks lovely Penny does not expect it
He travels quite far
By plane train and car
And he does never for one second regret it
Thank you
Dear Penny, what you write goes straight to the heart. Pics are lovely and that sketch also.
Thank you Indira. I am pleased you got the message behind the photos, my dear friend. Have an excellent “rest of your week”! 🙂 xx
Oh yes we are so worth it and we need to believe it! Your pictures are all beautiful, lovely Penny! Have a wonderful week!
Hello Ute, and I thank you for your compliments. Hoping your week is going smoothly for you as well, my friend! 🙂 xx
Well, Penny, I never expect that view from myself
>
Hello Yoshiko, no, nor is it a view I’d normally share either. My point was visual as a reference with each photo, regarding how we and others tend “see” women and not the whole picture of who we are and how we can be. xo
“Who we are and how we can be” sounds like poetry 🙂
Well, you know what, I think women (and children and men) when we share and give and think sweet and loving things move in a poetic manner! 😀
Indeed 😀 it is poetic
🙂
Lovely pics…
Beautiful Penny!,
Aquileana 😀
Hi Aquileana!
And I do thank you so kindly, sweet lady. Have the bestest rest of your week possible!!!!
Penny:)
Each and everyone of us are essential! Never forget that! Great post Penny! Hugs and xxx – ^..^
Hello Barb. Yes we all are! Thank you for the lovely compliment dear friend, hugs and love to you also! 🙂 xo
Gorgeous!
And – look at those legs! 😉
The pic of you & the cat made me smile.
I love how you put this together so nicely.
xo 🙂 🙂 xo
Thank you kindly RoSy. I got those legs from my mom (good genes) who even in her mid eighties was walking 3 miles a day! 🙂 xo
Amazing!!
Thank you. From the heart, I believe we women are so much more than we allow ourselves to think we are! Have a great day and better tomorrow, my friend.
Beautiful photos my friend…..
