channeling your inner wild child.

oh. my. gosh. i just finished creating the photo journey list for september and not once did i think of the fact that it is september…. my birthday month! i never even considered which word would fall on my birthday. crazy. i’m usually totally aware of these kinds of things. very weird, but perhaps it’s cool that i didn’t think about it.

so, guess what the word for my birthday ended up being? “survival“. hehe. and it’s my 39th. the last year before i’m in my 40s. wow. perfect. wink wink.

for september, the photo journey’s theme is “go wild!” you see, his month i’m taking part in a challenge called “Rewild Your Life” created by wearewildness.com . Basically, it’s a challenge to spend at least 30 minutes outside every day… to reconnect with nature, with myself, and with the wild, carefree, spiritual self within. i decided to make this month’s photo journey coincide with the wildness journey, so i could photograph some of my experiences on nature as I re-wild myself.

but, before i reveal september’s photo journey list, i thought i’d share with y’all my wrap up of august’s list… video style. it was an amazing month. so much happened. so many beginnings and changes. and the home theme was perfect as lina and i began our new life in our new home. so, click the photo below and get a little peek at my photo journey photos for august.

and now… september’s photo journey is revealed! the instructions and tips are as usual:

save the photo journey list to your desktop or on your smartphone, so you know what the word is for each and every day. each of the word gives you something to focus on for those days. remember that it’s all about how you interpret the word. be creative and express yourself however you want!

here’s a link to instagram so you can sign up & get started! click here to join in.

and if you want to become part of the bllphotoaday community, just follow me at @lizslens on instagram.

if you don’t have or don’t want instagram (which is totally fine!), then simply post your pics on facebook or on your blog. but, let me know, so i can follow along. i’ll do my best to spread the word that you are participating. however, the best way to create a photo journey community is actually on instagram. buuuuut, there is one more option… you can post your photos every day to belovelive’s facebook page! perhaps we can get that community growing as well! invite your FB friends to “like” belovelive’s page and then our community will spread even further & wider! think of all the inspiration! click here to go to belovelive’s page.

so, are you in? are you ready to go wild & get back to nature in september? i can’t think of any better way to begin my 39th year on earth. yep. i’m gonna celebrate the earth and go wild!

hopefully you’ll join in the #bllphotoaday journey and take some time each day to create art and reconnect with your #wild, beautiful self! can’t wait to see your photos! as always, use the hashtags #bllphotoaday (and also #rewildyourlife this month). happy september, my friends!

peace, wildness, & love.
