A photo serioes of self portraits taken by my friend Nick Larson. This is a depiction and representation of diving deeper into myself. A conceptual thought process of who I am.

We do an exercise in our program that involves the young women decorating envelopes and then writing notes of appreciation for everyone in the group. Given a manila envelope and some neato and basic-colored paint pens, this is what I came up with in about 15 minutes.
The front features a pretty calligraphic E and I was just taken with swirls that day. I wanted to infuse myself with color and movement. Orange is a color I wear when I am feeling courageous and daring. Grounded with the green and then surrounded by the thoughtful and spiritual swirls of blue, there is an inspirational or other-worldly whorl of yellow that is beginning to break through my spiritual blue swirl layer.
a lot of detail and tonal range has been lost because this is a jpeg...haven't paid for pro so i'm conserving space :-$

Does the fear of being wrong make honesty harder? In this short, reflective monologue, Sindy explores how permanence, visibility, and public judgment can cause honesty to hesitate. When being wrong feels costly, truth can become cautious—or disappear entirely.
A calm reflection on vulnerability, honesty, and emotional risk in modern life.
SCRIPT:
Being wrong used to be temporary.
You said something.
You adjusted.
You moved on.
Now it can feel permanent.
Statements linger.
Screenshots exist.
Context disappears.
And so honesty starts to hesitate.
Not because we don’t have thoughts,
but because we’re unsure
which version of them
is safe enough to say out loud.
We soften language.
We add disclaimers.
We stay vague—
not to deceive,
but to avoid being wrong
in public.
But honesty doesn’t always arrive
fully formed.
Sometimes it needs room
to be incomplete,
revisable,
human.
And when fear closes that space,
silence can start to feel
more responsible
than truth.

The second version of my photo first collage ever! I created it for Amy Burvall's Google+ Community, LearningListeningLoving. The collage is an artefact that helps us make our reflection visible (accountable).
Sitting in the car looking at a bug on the window. Should have taken a photo of that instead but it flew off leaving me and the fuzzy dice to ponder life's ultimate meaning.

What happens when comparison becomes silent and internal?
In this short, reflective monologue, Sindy explores how quiet self-measurement can reshape social spaces. When everyone compares inwardly but never speaks it aloud, competition turns into isolation, and connection becomes harder to sustain.
A calm reflection on comparison, social pressure, and modern life.
SCRIPT:
When comparison goes silent,
it doesn’t disappear.
It just moves inward.
Everyone is watching.
Calculating.
Noticing where they stand—
without ever saying it out loud.
No one admits they’re measuring.
But everyone feels measured.
Conversations stay polite.
Achievements stay understated.
Doubt stays private.
And the result isn’t competition—
it’s isolation.
Because when everyone is comparing silently,
no one knows what’s real.
Struggle feels like failure.
Progress feels insufficient.
And connection thins out—
not from conflict,
but from everyone quietly trying
not to fall behind.
