I have a confession to make...I have been a You Capture lurker for about a month or so now...and am so impressed with the way people take pictures! Seriously it's like every photo has something different that makes them stand out from the ones that I take. For example, I take a picture of a my foot and it's just a picture of a foot. But when you capture people take a picture of a foot it becomes somehow intriguing.
So in an attempt to enhance my photo-taking skills...I am joining the You Capture Challenge over at Beth's blog (that woman is an amazing photographer!) What a better week to start with then with a self portrait.
This is hard for me, because for anyone who followed me over on my first blog knows that I have never posted a picture with my face (with the exception of my blogger profile oneand my one year comparison pic). I guess I was somehow afraid of letting people "see" me. But then I realized that by sharing all the ups and downs of my weight loss journey and hopefully someday soon my first pregnancy, I had already shared more of me than my silly face would do. I used to be fearful of someone putting a face to a name/blog....but now I would be thrilled if anyone ever introduced themselves and told me that I inspired them or made them laugh when they were feeling down. I know so many of you have done that for me over the last few months.
So here goes. My name is Mendie...it's a pleasure to meet you!

Great to finally see you!! (of course, I guess I don't post many pictures of myself, either ~ mostly because I just don't like SEEING them!!) It IS good to be able to put a face to a name though.
PS. I really like the new header! - August 6, 2009 at 11:29 PM

I love it! I think Beth is challenging us to be brave. I, too, will share a lot on my blog, except pictures of me. Funny how we do that, huh?
