One Little Word | Captured

Week 7

Earlier this week, while looking for a quote, I realized to EMBRACE [who I am] has been an intention and desire long before now. I came across a collection of books (quotes, short stories, inspirational) that were clearly along the same line as my OLW. I remember wondering how do people get there? At what point in life do you sincerely believe I am enough? Yes. I read the books and although I enjoyed them the concept was not something I believed, at the time, would ever apply to me. Now. I'm re-reading these books with a different perspective. 

Edited: I've had several requests for the book titles and authors. Enjoy!

EMBRACING Your Uniqueness. By being yourself you put something wonderful in the world that was not there before. -Edwin Elliot

May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. -Unknown

I look forward to seeing your photos and reading what you have to share. Have a great weekend!

Really love your lighting on that picture

I totally get where you're coming from Jill. I've had that same train of thought. I have the books and I read them all. Well, most of them but I think when you're totally ready to really get into it, that you're opening up to a whole new world of possibilities. I have learned that you actually have to do the work to get there. Not just the reading part, but the implementing part. It's a long, hard road but so worth it. You'll know it when you get there ;)

P.S I forgot to link up after every post :$. Oopsie. But I'm here now! :)

I was so surprised when I went to link up this morning and discovered we had the same concept for our picture! Maybe its not so surprising, I am struggling to work on my February OLW project and when I look to capture what my word means to me its very personal and hard to define with a single object. Your picture is lovely.

the shot is gorgeous. i love the soft focus and the reflection of the books on the table. I'm curious, is this your photo challenge? What are the details? I like the idea.

[Kimberly]

Love the photos! I'm also quite curious all the titles/authors of the books. I have been looking for inspiration!

[Cheri]

great shot Jill - I have a feeling I would love all of those books.

Hi Courtney. First. Thank you for commenting. Now. My challenge is to capture the journey of One Little Word with photos and journaling. Here are the details.

I missed last week's post ... I hope to figure out what to take a photo of this week.

Books always make pretty pictures, I think. Finally got mine posted for the week. Sorry it's so late. xoxo

No worries. I'm glad you linked up. Off to check it out now.
