One Little Word Blog Hop || July

One Little Word | Embrace [who I am]

One little word can have a big impact on your life. A journey shared.

A glimpse of One Little Word 2011. July.

The prompt for July was to create a personal playlist. Meaningful music that connects to your word. I've been doing this for the past 7 months and consistently come back to these 7 songs. My One Little Word playlist (Note: Last minute change to my plans for creating this as a hybrid project. This will give you a general idea of how it will look in the album):

The songs are:

1. Don't Stop Believing - Glee
2. Perfect - Pink
3. Just the Way You Are - Bruno Mars
4. We Are Who We Are - Ke$ha
5. Born This Way - Lady Gaga
6. If Today Was Your Last Day - Nickelback
7. What I Am - Will I Am
8. ?
9. ?

In July, some of the images for One Little Word Captured or my 52 Week Project (self portraits) I focused on not only on how far I have come in 7 months but, how I have made it to this point. What am I doing that moves me closer and closer to liking who I am? 

I'm surrounding myself with supportive and loving people in real life and even blogging friends. Smiling and laughing.

I'm taking care of my body. Feeling strong. Feeling empowered. My joy of running.

I'm focusing on nutrition. I've been clean eating for about 5 months and have been amazed by the difference it has made in how I feel and energy level.

That is it. That is a reflection of the past 7 months of my journey.

So, relax, grab a favorite beverage and visit the blog hop blogs for a glimpse of One Little Word 2011.
