I think this is the first project (besides my Life Books) that I follow through and entire year and I’m proud af. It has been a thought provoking journey full of learning and cultivating.

One Little Word: November 2019
Capturing “right now” photos for November’s OLW prompt was hard. I chose old photos (from earlier this year) instead.

But I like … Continue reading One Little Word: November 2019
