Words

Words were everywhere at Camp Shutter Sisters, and they were plentiful.  If we didn't see them, we heard them, and often.  Words or phrases like Shoot with gratitude, Give yourself permission and you are beautiful. For me, some were easy to do or believe while others, not so much.  Shoot with Gratitude?  You got it.  Give yourself permission or you are beautiful?  Meh.  Maybe.  But as the weekend progressed, the words and their meanings started to sink in.  So, I gave myself permission at camp to be alone or skip dinner or take a nap.  And you know what? Every single one of those women at camp, myself included, are beautiful.

Words.  Lots of them.  What a gift.

Today, share your favorite uplifting or positive words.  Have a photo to go along with them? Share those, too.  And remember, you are beautiful, too.

"Stay curious." On a visit to southwest Colorado to see my best friend and her son... I spent 5 days looking at life through the eyes of a 9 month old - everything was new again, and amazing.

Words ARE powerful. I have this hanging in my entryway. A visitor once glanced at it and asked "why do you have 'migraine' hanging on your wall?" It's hard to tell from the angle of the photo, but it says "imagine".

LIFE! Life, life, life! I put this word everywhere, and it always fits in perfectly! This picture is the first one I loaded on my new Flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51604062@N07/6259751042/

I attempted a Project 365 using magnetic poetry. I only got through about half the year, but I do revisit the idea every now and again.

So easy to forget the power of simple and singular words. They take on life when isolated and highlighted. Love all these inspirations.

Am finding all sorts of inspiration that have to do with this word these days...being open to new experiences, taking risks, opening my heart to others...and always recalling words of wisdom from a friend I recently lost - "But what if they say 'yes?'"
