It’s hard to capture the essence of yourself in a photo, but Jane of Spain Daily has encouraged us to try, in this week’s Corner View theme, “The Unveiling: Showing Your True Self.”
I realize not everybody includes binoculars as part of their home decor, but curiosity is a big part of who I am. For some reason (I usually blame my dad), I have an unquenchable thirst to learn more. So homeschooling has been a great fit. It’s been a big part of me for the past 15 years. 
I love living things, which is why I can’t ditch a plant until I’m 99% positive there’s no chance of rejuvenation. So I have some plants like this, and others like that.
My psyche is magnetized to structure and organization. When I have my boundaries in place, its frees me to imagine and create. My dresser reflects the mix. I don’t like it to look like this, but it does, more often than not. Hardees’ coupons, rechargeable batteries, World magazine, toenail polish, pen & paper & sticky notes, receipts, perfume, paper clips. 
But going deeper inside me, you’ll find my family. I love these people. They are a huge part of who I am. The 2nd and 3rd thing that I want said of me is “She really loved her husband, and she really loved her kids.”
And in the deepest place of all is Jesus. I wish I had a picture. But no camera can absorb His quintessence. The 1st thing I want said of me is “She was a worshiper of Yahweh.”
Because of Him, I can unveil my most true self. It’s not always pretty, but thankfully, Whose I am is more important than who I am.

Hey- are the African Violets from Sharon from a few years ago? I still have mine and they are doing well and look almost just like yours. Mine are beside my bathtub with some other plants, such as a $1.50 Shamrock plant I got on clearance after St. Patrick's day 2008. It is flourishing and bloomed with little white flowers this spring to surprise me!
:-)
Brenda,
Yes, the healthy pot is from Sharon's plant. What a trooper it's been. It needed repotting about 3 years ago, but I didn't do it, so it strings out everywhere now and is way too tangled for me to cut it up without killing it all. But it lives on and I love it. :-)
Yeah, mine's tangled up, too! :-) I can't believe how healthy they are. Must have been something Sharon did to them! :-)
