Exciting news. . . I have decided to attempt a project 52! A photo a week, once a week, of my wilds.
I am thrilled, and yet- very, very, wary.
For you see while I am all aflutter for the practice, the images, and for the new friendship with fellow blogger Helen from I Will Bloom- who is bravely attempting this with me- I am also skeptical.
1/52
First, I am world's worst at follow thru and dedication. I get so riled up about new projects and ventures but rare to never enjoy them once reality sets in. I am so hoping that this will not be the case here. That I won't get thru one month and then decide to quit or even more likely, to forget all about it.
Second, I am a procrastinator to the core- and I can so see myself remembering late Saturday evening that I have yet to get an image- Poor gal, she had no idea what she was getting into when we decided on this together!
2/52
Still, I am hopeful, filling my head with positive feedback and confirmations- "I can do this", I tell myself.
I read some of the best advice from Jodi at Practicing Simplicity. She said "pick up a camera and take a picture". Wise words really- I plan on using this as my mantra throughout the year and I think at the end I will have 52 images- some I will love, some I will be far too critical of, but I know there will come a day when perfection won't matter- more that I captured a time- that will mean the world.

(and probably my wilds by the end of this year:)
