Tell Us About Your Avatar

Due to anonymity reasons, we can't have our face as our profile pic. I was wondering tonight about all the different pics I have seen on this Forum and the story behind them.

Some of you like me have animals. Maybe they are your pets. Others have inspirational sayings. There are ones with scenes on them and others that feature flowers or abstract designs.

My pic stems from my fascination with jellyfish. I love going to those huge aquarium places and watching the jellyfish. They are so serene and beautiful and make me feel calm. If I lived in a town that had a jellyfish display, I'd be there every week. Sometimes I watch videos of them. I use the good feelings I get from seeing them to lift my mood so each time I am on the Forum I am reminded of the beauty in the world and the peacefulness of their movements.

I hope you enjoy my pic half as much as I do.

I'll tag some people to encourage them to share their story. Please tag others so we can all participate easily.

@Former-Member. I love your picture. To me it's a soothing calming image. No sharp colours - just focusing on the tree and water.

My avatar is a Cocky. That's my favorite Aussie bird. When I meditate up on my mountain, I tune into the sounds around me, and the cocky is always there. I know to many people that their screech would be annoying. To me, it reminds me of the connection to nature I feel when up on my mountain.
So these cockies are my brothers and sisters.
The image I downloaded from the Internet. I liked this painting. But it's not mine.

My picture is a lovely, Fantasy Woodland Angel, very beautiful. long flowing hair, with Wings that look like Feathers. She is very kind & gentle, loves all of creation, takes good care of herself so as she can be there for all to help,& to love, both animal, & humans when they need her. She loves to bless & protect all creation, when possible with her magical gifts, & her warm comforting support & smile. She is often mistaken for a fairy, because she plays games, & is a cheeky & playful, with lots of energy & childlike appeal, just like the fairies do. She gets rest & revitalizes herself through, prayer & trust in GOD who created her. After all GOD created Angels, & fairies are just a smaller version of an Angel! 😉
Who loves Fairy Dust?
Children do, & so do I! 🙂

Thanks @utopia for seeing it like that. I love the photo too but I think I picked it for the wrong reasons. Maybe I can find one similar that has different meaning😀

Re: Tell Us About Your Avatar

Love this thread @soul! And am looking forward to learning more about the people I see here 🙂

I'm CheerBear one of the original Care Bears from my favourite cartoon when I was little. I watched SO much Care Bears, and think I learnt so many valuable lessons from it 🙂

All the Care Bears have an icon on their tummy that represents them called a Belly Badge. My avatar is Cheer Bear's belly badge. My power is that I can create rainbows and I'm described as a "happy ball of pink fluff". I'm not at all always a happy ball of pink fluff really, but I think deep inside I do share some traits with tv Cheer Bear (and I wish I had a rainbow creating super power) 🙂

Over time the Care Bears has changed and they look different these days because of technology and animation advances. My avatar is the original carnation pink of Cheer Bear's fur.

Great thread @soul mine is a lotus flower. They struggle to grow through dark muddy water and produce the most beautiful flower. Each night, they return to the muddy water and bloom again. A symbol of our struggles here and the beauty that comes through each and every life.

That cockatoo is so you @utopia. Every time I see one now, I think of you. A bit outrageous and so magestic. A bit like the king or queen of the bush although the kookaburra might disagree.

Re: Tell Us About Your Avatar

Just goes to show that pics have different meanings to different people @Former-Member @utopia. If it is making you feel a way you no longer do or want to, then that’s a good reason to change it. Much like life I reckon.

If emotions or behaviours no longer serve you, they need to go.
