Lessons in Confidence

I am encouraging a young lady, that is a friend of mine, to not be afraid to "put herself out there" and SHINE. She tends to be on the shy side and I want her to realize that the world only opens up as far as she makes it. Believing in yourself comes from within and even though others may not always approve or like your work....that's OK!

 

Nathalia spent 2 hours composing this photo. She made the "plate" from the shell of a coconut and then carefully chose and arranged the flowers and fruit precisely to her liking including the detail of a little delicious freshly shredded coconut dusted on top.

 

If you are so inclined, please leave a comment for Nathalia sharing your honest thoughts about her photograph. It is my hope that she shall realize that I am not the only one who sees her talent and she'll take another step towards overcoming her fears. :o) She's only 13!
