love thursday: returning home

Last week I was emailing Shutter Sister Tracey (a professional photographer in her own right), discussing some ideas that I had for marketing my new business. She thought for a minute, and then responded:

"You know what, Karen?  You should reclaim Love Thursday for sure as you begin your business.  How about you move it over to Chookooloonks?  It would be the perfect time to do it."

And so, starting next week, after a wonderful stint here at Shutter Sisters, Love Thursday will return to the scene of the crime -- back to my photoblog at Chookooloonks.  I've so enjoyed reading all your passages and viewing all your wonderful images of love -- I hope you'll follow me over there and keep spreading the love.

In the meantime, Happy Love Thursday, everyone.  Please leave your links to your images of love in the comments below (or in the comments section over at Chookooloonks!).  I so look forward to continuing to share the love.

Lovely photo! Thank you for sharing Love Thursday with the Shutter Sisters, and I look forward to continuing with you on Chookooloonks. I wonder what inspiration we'll find here on Thursdays...?

My love and I toasted to hope and our future last night. http://www.flickr.com/photos/stacelet/3007052818/

Re-claiming... I love that.

Today, I am re-claiming my right to Silence and Being. After work, I leave for a 5-day silent retreat at this place... my healing place... my Stillpoint. This place is love-filled for me.
Happy Love Thursday!

Woohoo, great plan to get it back to your site. Looking forward to commenting there next week!

This week, I want to be grateful for the love of good friends. I have been going through hard times over the last few years, and having friends support me has made a tremendous difference.

Love, for me, is always louder during the Christmas season. As I pass on all of the magical traditions from my childhood, it really made me miss my Mom. And love her just a little bit more.
