Going within

Just completed my BYW homework and I'm glad it's done. This course is really making me think. and dream. and wonder. and worry. and fear. and be so excited I want to jump up and down and sing. It's making me go within. Deep. Down. We got our assignment Monday and its taken me all week to finally sit down and write out my thoughts. The answers haunted me everyday, begging to be brought forth and made real. Pen to paper. One afternoon, I even sat down with my journal, dated the page, wrote "Homework Week 2" at the top of the page, brought the tip of the pen to the paper and then stopped. Closed the book, laid the pen down and walked away. Ridiculous!

One of the things we had to address this week was what made us different...what would we bring to the table that was unique to the blogging world? This question scared the heck out of me. Tonight, as I neared the end of the assignment, that very question loomed at the bottom of the page. Mocking me.

Finally, I grabbed it with both hands looked it in the face and wrote from my heart exactly what I had to offer. It felt good, and I realized that I do indeed have much to offer and even more to gain by simply being me. That's unique right? No one is me, except me. Now it's time to accept and cherish that...

Now, for some gorgeous images that made me think of how I've felt this week...

More beautiful photography from one of my favorites - Lauren Withrow. Check it here.

Have a lovely, restful Sunday.
