Week 1: Resolution - So Much Hope Inside

{ Project 52 Week 1: Resolution }

I'm kicking off the new year with 2 new projects. First, I'm thrilled with the opportunity to participate in a fun project called Project 52 created by Life with My 3 Boybarians. It's a weekly photo challenge with an assigned theme each week. 

{ This weeks theme: Resolution }

My resolution and hope for the new year is to stop hiding in my shell. 

I'm going to shed the protective exterior and frumpy-ness. 

I'm going to open my mind and achieve new ambitions. 

I'm going to feel the sun on my shoulders. 

I'm going to reach the hope inside.

In combination with Project 52, I've decided to challenge myself with a personal project. It's an exciting idea I've tossed around for a bit called: A Year In Lyrics. Words inspire me. For years I've said that my favorite book is the Thesaurus. Boring and weird, I know, but that's me! My thought is that lyrics, whether a chorus or a fleeting phrase, make an impression on our spirit. Sometimes bringing feelings to life that we couldn't ourselves find the words to express. Thus, I plan to feature photos randomly throughout the year inspired by lyrics that touch me. Possibly combining A Year In Lyrics with Project 52 from time to time, like I did this week. I hope that I can find it within myself to contribute to both of these projects all year and not flake out and give up. I'm going to do my best...here's to hoping anyway!
