Thank You Photoshop

I often write the food column for Yoga Journal, where I work part time as their Communications Director. In the upcoming January/February issue, I invite a Zen Chef from Spirit Rock to cook with me for the day. We had a splendid time and I felt very lucky to live a life where I can interview a Zen Chef and get paid for it, let alone eat her food.For the first time, the magazine asked me for a picture for their Contributor's page.  I was not happy. I'm a writer and my words are my calling card. Now I was getting all uptight about a photo. I mean, could they erase my double chin?Turns out yes, there's this wonderful program called Photoshop and they can do all sorts of magical things with it.I'm glad that's over. Now I can get back to writing.
