Hello, and thanks for visiting! A couple of months ago a good friend nominated me in one of those Facebook challenges you may have seen doing the rounds - 7 black and white photos over 7 days from your ordinary life, excluding people and pets, posted without explanation. I accepted the challenge, and enjoyed the process so much that I was soon wondering how I could extend it. This blog is my answer. The photos won't always be in black and white - I've long understood how important colour is to me - but I plan to adhere to the other rules of the challenge for a full 365 days and, in doing so, tell the story of the next year in my life. Knowing how I struggle with discipline, especially self-discipline, I imagine this process will throw up quite a few challenges for me but hopefully that will all be part of the growing and learning process. There will be little or no explanation posted, though I'll be happy to chat in the comments, and I hope you find something here to enjoy.
Dear Amanda ~ I am excited to see your blog and look forward to more glimpses into your life.
ReplyDeleteI've known you and Gary through blogland for at least 5 years now and you are dear to me.
Enjoy this new venture.
I have a request. Would you put the gadget, 'subscribe by email' in your sidebar? That way I can subscribe and get daily notifications of your photo posts.
Have a wonderful 2018 ~ FlowerLady
Hello Lorraine!
DeleteWow! My first follower - how lovely that it should be you! Thanks for stopping by. It will be interesting to see what shape this journey takes. It's a bit about encouraging me to take more photos again, and a bit about documenting this year in my life. Will I have the courage to sometimes overlook the best photo of the day in favour of the one that best tells the story of the day? We'll see .... I think it'll be fun either way.
Now I'm set up I look forward to visiting you too - in person rather than merely peering over Gary's shoulder!
As for the technical stuff, well, it's an absolute mystery to me as yet, but I'll pass your request on to my tech dept and see what he can do ......
Happy New Year, and much love, Amanda
I found you :) Thank you for your comment on my Journal (what I call it :)
ReplyDeleteI have never had a follow button, maybe need to have one
it seems people just find me.
Good luck to you and me in a beautiful
place 5 minutes from my talented youngest daughter - why I am here. Balance horrible
cannot fall again.
Well hello there Ernestine - how lovely of you to drop by!
DeleteI'll be following Flowerlady and she has a link to your blog which is how I found you in the first place, so I'll just use that to visit you from time to time.
I'm sorry you're struggling with balance problems, that must be difficult and quite frightening. I have to say though, it does sound as though you're in the right place, for the time being at least.
I hope it continues to be a positive experience for you. I'll drop by again soon to find out how you're getting on. Meanwhile, lovely to see you here and please do pop back and visit!
