As if the Life Story project wasn’t enough, I decided to add another once-monthly project to my plate. My New Year’s resolution this year was to focus more on personal work, so these group projects are really going to force me to keep up with it all and I’m enjoying every moment of it.

This group is a fabulous group of women I met on a photographer’s forum, and we are following a set theme each month, using our camera to describe how we view the theme.

This month is New Beginnings.

To me, every day is a new beginning. A clean slate. Waking up in the morning and knowing the entire day is waiting for you to make of it what you will. I’m charging myself this year with the responsibility of taking control of my own life. Instead of sitting back to wait and see what life delivers me, I am going to go out there and find it myself.
