Positive Project

Welcome 2011! I know you are going to be an awesome year filled with lots of fun adventures, meaningful time with family, and lot of laughs with friends. Last night I planned a lesson for the youth in which I talked about the meaning of Epiphany. Epiphany actually means manifestation. With old magazines in hand, the youth and I cut out words, phrases, and pictures of things we wanted to achieve and change in this new year. Later in the evening I was talking to one of my best friends from college Anne and we both realized that we have been viewing things through a very negative lens.

So in the spirit of the new year the two of us have taken on the Positive Project. Everyday we are going to find three things in our life that are positive. While this is not a very difficult project, the challenge is going to be to do it daily and continually. In order to encourage me to be successful I am going to try and also do a year long photo project where I also post one picture everyday to my blog. This will definitely be more challenging, because I have a very bad history of not uploading pictures. But it will be rewarding years to come to have a year of my life documented in photos.

Anne and I are on a mission, so wish us luck!
