It has been said that you have not really LIVED until you push yourself beyond your point of comfort.
I can say now, after time spent with Monty being painted…I HAVE INDEED LIVED!!!
If, IF my life were to end today, I am certain that I would go out with such a smile on my face.
The day Monty came to my house to paint me was THE most surreal experience of my entire life bar none! I turned sixty this year, I have enjoyed many life-altering experiences, but none like this!
The shoot itself was perhaps the most emotionally charged part of the entire day. Once we were under the chosen dock at low tide, sunset…all carefully planned-I became a Nymphe! I was no longer Peggy Stroud, Librarian, I was Peggy Stroud, Librarian/Nymphe.
I felt as though I were emerging from the ocean transformed onto the most exquisite site I had ever been a part of.
This experience has changed my life forever-forever. This day, I became empowered, fearless and feel as though I will hold that honour within me for my eternity and beyond.
