Don’t ask for a light load, but rather ask for a strong back.
~ Anonymous
I have never asked for a load, not light or heavy, but life has just happened and many times my life was about surviving and pushing my own feelings away because someone (most of my life, my children) needed me to be strong. Looking at this image, and thinking of my latest appointment with the grief counselor, I realize that my back is strong. It has carried many a load and brought me to be where I am now. Despite sometimes feeling very weak, I know I am a strong woman. Life has taught me to be.

Lovely curves, especially your spine. I do like that less traditional angle.
Cool shot, Marie, love the peek of the tat.
A beautiful, beautiful photo . . . and wonderful words!!!

I like what Kisungura said – I can’t better that!
This image is so evocative. It rates up there as one of my favourites. Not the least because we often look for more conventionally sexier body parts but the line of your back is both strong and sensuous, and your hair, as always is such a wonderful cascade.
And your strength and determination is also present of course. Beautiful!
You are an incredible woman and you look simply amazing in this image!
Beautiful. The arc of your back, the glimpse of your nipple and tattoo and the delicacy of your hair against a strong background. I really love this shot and I hope it gives you strength to see yourself looking so powerful.
You are strong and so very beautiful

Such a powerful shot – <3 x
That strength is definitely evident. A beautiful curve
Such a beautiful image and the accompanying words make it even more so. I love the quote you chose as well, a lot of truth in it and a feeling I suspect many can identify with x
A strong and beautiful woman Rebel xx
This is a very striking shot – your hair falling down your back and your breast peeking out at a very tempting angle x
You look both vulnerable yet strong here, it reminds me of Brené Brown’s quote ‘strong back, soft front, wild heart’ xx
What a mane you have!!
Stay strong!
Your hair makes this picture for me. You look like a fierce lioness.
