Helping another person to see her beauty

Isn't her hair pretty!

I took this photo of the back of Wendy's head earlier today when I visited my elderly friend in her home.

It wasn't until after I took the photo and left that I reflected on it and who I have become. You see I took this photo because Wendy is a large lady in a wheelchair with limited mobility. I had told her how much I loved her hair and wanted her to see it too. I knew she wouldn't have been able without the help or double mirror from someone.

The old me never would have done this. I'm not sure if she would have even complimented her. But this new me. I'm loving her. And I love this place for helping me become her.

Thank you all for inspiring me daily
