A life of creativity & celebration.
Tags:
"The life of voluntary simplicity is a life lived consciously, a decision to live in harmony with life, to show reverence for life, to sustain life. It is a life of creativity and celebration, a life of community and participatory democracy, and a life in touch with nature and the universal life force. It is a life that has soul, it is a life that allows the individual's soul to awaken."
[ from The Circle of Simplicity by Cecile Andrews ]
Donna shared this book with me and I am so into it...lots of thoughts to ponder. Things to bring into focus.
A little challenge to you this weekend...take some photos of yourself. Position yourself in some good light (such as with the side of your face up near a window) and click away. Take lots so you will loveat least one. And then celebrate yourself. A toast to you and all that is good and wonderful.

well I had my doubts as I'm usually the one running away from the camera, but I was brave...the pics are terrible but at least I had a go at it...might try again...and get something I may be able to use...
thanks for the push

Ali- Just wanted to say thanks...for this post- and all the other amazing things you say/capture/create! I actually took this challenge of your (yikes! I'm always behind the camera!!) and was pleasantly suprised! I went ahead and posted them on my own blog (www.inthemoment.typepad.com/starfiin) that I was inspired to start by you and other amazing creative women (Cathy, Tara, etc.)
THANKS!!
