i’ve been participating in kim’s 52 week project self portrait challenge since the beginning of the year and just love it. taking a few moments, or an hour depending on my mood, to document me has been wonderful. so often throughout the past few years, while taking care of my children i have fallen into a groove and forget to see myself. i’ve fallen victim to the easiness of motherhood & homekeeping & home working without remembering that i am an independant woman. i need to take care & take notice of me.

it’s so easy for me personally to simply repeat the daily agenda without regards to the fact that it’s a new day. wake up. shower. get dressed. get the littles off to school. chores. tasks. work from home. pick up the littles. speech. after school activities. homework. errands. shuttling from here to there. dinner. bathtime. bedtime. repeat.

stopping each week has helped me slow down. notice myself. actually look in the mirror to register what i am wearing today. that i need a haircut. that i am and should always be an active participant in my life.

come join us, it’s turning into a beautiful journey.

happy friday
