MOVEMBER SELF PORTRAITS

I want to have a beautifully written caption for this post. I want to eloquently describe my journey / relationship with mental health in the hopes that it will help at least one person following this account. Today - I don’t have the words, they aren’t coming easily because today, I don’t feel as clear as I care to be :)

Even between a committed mindfulness practice, a good therapist, and more support than most - clarity or feeling “okay” can be elusive and that is okay :)

So if you happen to be reading this and need a reminder - feeling “fine” is okay, feeling “good” is okay, feeling “bad” is okay - feeling your feelings is okay :)

The mission of @movember is to raise awareness for men’s health. They focus on mental health and suicide prevention, along with prostate and testicular cancer. I will happily be sporting a mustache this month to support the effort. I will also be donating a portion of any portrait session booked during the month of November directly to the Movember Foundation.

If you are able and would like to donate outside of booking a portrait session with me - follow @movember or click here :)
