You know itโs funny...pulling oneโs mind back from Western societal conditioning around how a woman must look, particularly as she is ageing...where oneโs mind goes to in that journey. I woke up this morning and saw myself in the mirror and thought โgee you look haggard โ, โgosh you are looking old, unattractive โ... Then I caught my thoughts and said to myself, โnah, you look more like you love...more like who you are on the inside...both who you have always been and who you are becomingโ. I finished looking in the mirror and walked out the bathroom and saw โOld Croneโs Love In The Garden of Gaiaโ (so happy I held onto this earlier piece ~ she guides and reconnects me) ๐๐๐ป I asked my hubby earlier in the year โwhat do you think hon?...should I keep paying a truckload of money on a regular basis and get my hair dyed blonde or should I just let my hair go naturally grey and then weโve got extra money to play with?โ I knew it was a Queenโs Gambit question to ask him but his answer still surprised me. He said โI think you should keep getting your hair dyedโ. Well, I can tell you, after my initial retort of โWell you get to go grey, bald and fat...why canโt I!?โ...I had a lot to unpack and process & every now and then I still throw that one back at him, lol! ๐ But bless my mum...she said โIt is a really lovely shade of silver Tanโ < only a mother...๐โค๏ธ So I still havenโt had my hair coloured and most probably wonโt. Iโve just ticked over half a century and into my wise crone years right? So freedom reigns. Freedom to choose. Freedom by choice not pressure. โOld Croneโs Love In The Garden of Gaiaโ (reserved in artists private collection to remind herself of the other pathways to take) ยฉ๏ธ Tanya Cole . . . . #oldcronesloveinthegardenofgaia #intuitivepaintinglove #tanyacoleartsdotcom https://www.instagram.com/p/CTtMleoB2XG/?utm_medium=tumblr
