Project 365 ~ Week 40

Wow, it is week 40 of Project 365! I'm trying to imagine what all these photos will look like when I turn them into a mini movie of my year! Often the biggest challenge has been to limit myself to one key moment a day. Sometimes so much happens! This past Sunday I met up with my accountability group for coffee. Can you see me in the Starbucks picture?

On Monday night my honey and I went out for dinner. If you haven't been to The Indian Rice Factory in Toronto, do yourself a favour and get there quick!

When you work from home, your sights and sounds are often what your neighbours provide. I find this hippo nurse a bit disturbing. Well, truthfully it's that needle I find disturbing.

On Wednesday I was the guest of my dear friend Annabel at an amazing presentation called Inspiring Entrepreneurs by Carissa Reiniger of Silver Lining Limited. I can honestly say that I've already moved forward in my business based on the strategies that Carissa shared. The presentation is travelling and has received such great sponsorship that it's free. See if it's coming to a city near you here.

On Thursday, I stepped out of the house just as this schoolbus arrived. Isn't that awesome? As I stepped down the first stair, the driver opened the door. And do you know what the bus said on the side? "On the journey of learning." Do these messages get any clearer? Thank you, Universe. I'm perking up my ears and getting ready to learn!

And then I met up with the wonderful Danette for coffee and a bite in the 'hood. It's always a treat to hook up with a like-minded spirit and coach!

That night was the English leadership debate. Do you see how much happens in a day? This was really a historic moment as the Green Party sat for the first time at the table. And I have to say, Elizabeth May was kicking butt and taking names.

And then today Shannon and I hooked up and saw Nights in Rodanthe. Yes, there were tears. But clearly there were also smiles. And when we left the theatre, I just couldn't take my eyes of the way the sun was illuminating downtown. Beautiful!

How was your week? Project 365 is my attempt to capture a year in my life through a photograph a day. On Saturday's I'll post the week's pics. At the end of the year, I'll create a video of all these precious moments. Feel free to participate at any time. Yours can be Project 347 or Project 292. It's up to you.

The 365 Day Project

A while ago Marilyn sent me this link to a video of daily pictures made by a friend of hers on Twitter. I thought it was such an interesting diary, a fascinating way to capture a time in your life. Often when I go over old journals of mine, I don't even read the text. I look at the pictures and memorabilia that I've put in there and am immediately transported to a particular time.

So as a creative project, I've decided to try to compile daily pictures of my life for the next year. I think I'll do the traditional Jan 1 to Dec 31, though I might take a running start at it. Especially as I also keep stumbling upon people who are participating in Daisy's December Views project. (By the way I'm blown away by the beauty of her pictures for yesterday) I am really enjoying this visual way of capturing daily lives.

What does your life look like today?
