My avatar is of my dog who is so much like me. He even has anxiety issues. I selected this particular picture because even though he looks extremely cute in it, he's actually highly stressed. It's a gentle reminder that outward appearance doesn't really reflect how we may feel on the inside. So be kind and gentle to everyone and yourself.

My avatar was a photo taken in 1944 during World War 2 on the occasion of me first walking unaided. I remember the event. It was taken on the roof of the flats where we lived in Chelsea in central London.

Come nightfall and we would retire to the air raid shelter built beneath the flats as the Luftwaffe arrived for one last attempt to bomb us into submission during the 'Little Blitz' that preceded the V1 and V2 flying bombs.

The photo is a typical happy snap - but only a few hundred miles away over the English Channel people were dying in their thousands daily in battle zones from bombs, bullets and lack of food. Looking at the photo you would never have guessed.

I chose this photo because it reminds me of a carefree period without a worry in the world when life lay ahead.

MadBunny got me started to changing my avatar. Most of them are coloring projects, except when Imaaan and I had fun with sunglasses. Now I think we’re having fun with head coverings. Atleast I’m having fun with it! 😁💂‍♀️

And here I thought that I inspired the avatar changes..lol. Missy your colouring projects are always 🔥

My current pic is of a tribal warrior princess. I selected it cuz it portrays strength. I like to switch up my avatars depending on whatever floats my boat at the moment. LadyZen

Oops! I just realized that your Warrior Princess doesn’t have a head covering. What to do, what to do? 🤔😁

Clara Bow, silent screen actress 1920s. Just think she's cool. I actually should have chosen Greta Garbo, as she would say, "I vant to be left alone"

Have fun with it, my friend.

My youngest dog, 3 yr old Chow named Bear. Looks like a little lion cub here. Now he looks like a full grown lion. He makes me smile everyday!
