Self-Portrait by Mark Floyd

When you’ve had good fortune making a friend who stood fearless…Embracing their glorious true self… You become challenged, encouraged and ultimately empowered- pushing forward discovering and then celebrating the same for yourself…

When they are authentic… You love them forever…

    Thank you Joan for reading and supporting Farm Stories… Mark was an incredible talent and energy… His self portrait not only looks exactly like him – expression and the way he’s holding his hand but that was his fave red sweatshirt…. When you have a true friend that allows you to be the authentic you…. They are unforgettable….. Thank you again!!!

That is a beautiful work of art, a self portrait is not easy…with painting or writing.
You both are quite the exception, beautiful

You succeeded again, Thanks for posting Mark’s picture. I do remember seeing you with him. He was a very good artist and you……despite your insecurities that it could be better, I don’t see that it could be any better whatsoever!!!! Everything you wrote was so true, Thank you for another great excerpt from your book, that I am anxiously awaiting, my friend and couldn’t be a better writer!!!!Look forward to each and every one. I love you!!! xoxo 🙂
