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. June.
"Get Out Of Your Head" (I had to laugh when Ali said this in the June video.
I thought to myself, how do I do that?)
One Little Word Captured
52 Week Project (self-portraits)
June. I started training for the Chicago Marathon, kids are home for summer break, summer school, cheer practice, sleepovers and just life in general. It's been great! Yes, June was a busy month but my OLW, Embrace [how I am], continues to be a focus. Even if it's not in the forefront of my mind, it's not forgotten. I'm keeping up with my One Little Word Captured photography challenge and weekly self portrait challenge, 52 Week Project. Happy about the sustainability of both of these. And lastly, I'm noticing change. I'm seeing progress. I'm not sure of the whats, whys or hows, but I'm a different person.
So, relax, grab a favorite beverage and visit the blog hop blogs for a glimpse of One Little Word 2011.

Love your art canvases! I really like how you put the word beautiful across two of them. Good luck training for your marathon. I'm working up the courage to commit to a 5K this summer.

I love visiting your blog. I don't know why I don't do it more often. Everything here is so inspiring! You're canvases look gorgeous. I love your Fitness Fridays (I need to join up) and the new blog header (I think it's new).
I'm almost finished with the Couch to 5K program (just two more runs to go) and am considering the 10k running program just to keep going. We'll see what happens. Hopefully I'll be back in the OLW blog hop next month, but I'll do my best to remember to visit you before then.
Thanks for inspiring me :-)

Thank you for your kind words. Yes! COme join us for Fitness Friday! When is your 5k? Following up the 5k with a 10k is great for keeping up your motivation and momentum. Good luck!

I always love coming to visit your blog! Your cards are gorgeous, especially love the 'Beautiful' split between two canvases. I'm going to swing back by to read about your fitness challenges. I'm a chunky girl hoping to change....maybe I'll find inspiration here.

LOVE how you are keeping up with this. Since I chose "do" I've been too BUSY DOING to actually keep up with my project, but believe me, it will be a priority once I get the move done. Thanks for your inspiration every day. LOVE how you stay motivated and then, in turn, motivate the rest of us, Jill!

I love your canvasses - you are so inspiring - makes me want to go and grab my runners and go for a walk. I like the focus of your Fitness Fridays. Good luck with your training and I hope to see you on the next hop.
