photo challenges

seriously. last month when i did my ten on ten post (10 photos of my day on the 10th of every month), i was in asheville. in my apartment. hanging with some of the best people…

i’ve heard this phrase before. i’ve even seen lots of bumper stickers on cars in front of me at the stoplight to remind me to not postpone joy. at one point in my life,…

i think this month snuck up on me. i was totally not prepared. like, not at all. first of all, november flew by like nothing i’ve ever experienced before. it felt as if it…

you know what? i miss blogging here on a regular basis. i miss it a lot. i miss y’all a lot. i suppose that my lack of blogging has been mostly because of my…

if you visit belovelive fairly often, then you know i love doing photo journeys, and that i have created my own lists for the past six months. and, just in case you didn’t know,…

yesterday i had a perfect expat moment that took my breath away. it was one of those moments where i stopped doing what i was doing and practically pinched myself. i was in my…

good evening, friends. this is becoming a nice little ritual for me. late at night, sometimes with a glass of wine, but always under the covers, i sit here with my mac on my…

i saw part of an old episode of oprah the other day. she had a woman, a brain scientist, on talking about strokes. the woman had written a book, my stroke of insight, about her…

i was sitting on the train this evening,  headed back home, staring out the window and listening to music. my love was sitting across from me. i felt calm and at peace. i was…

it’s the last day of april and spring has sprung in the northern hemisphere. fall is on the way for those of you south of the equator. and it’s time to embark on what…

there are only two more days in april (craaaaazy!), and i’m working on a photo journey for may as i write this. yep. i am multi-tasking. i don’t think i’ll finish may’s challenge tonight,…

it’s been a challenging week for celebrations. but, true to what i believe, i must practice what i preach. so, even though i’ve been scared, sad, lonely, worried, and exhausted, i still have found…

today’s word is “pink” because i discovered that it is international anti-bullying day. so here are my thoughts: don’t be a bully. love each other. diversity is beautiful. be an individual. if you are…

i seriously believe that every single day it is possible to celebrate something. and that’s why i created april’s photo a day journey about life. i had the help of many different people (many…

so far, i haven’t been posting my daily photos for april’s belovelive photo a day journey. i plan on doing a weekly sum up about it. but, today i just couldn’t resist after i…

march’s journey is complete. we have traveled from darkness to light. literally, here in sweden. the time changed last night, so we are now  livin’ it up with much longer days. tonight, it’s almost…

just a quick little photo post for y’all! only one more week to go!! peace out.…

hey lovelies! well, it’s only a week and some days before we rip down another page on our calendars and begin a new month. crazy, huh? i was thinking… since it was so much…

can it be true? are we halfway there? have we turned the corner in our 31 day photo journey? why, yes we have! it’s friday the 15th (the ides of march. beware!) and we…

who’s doing it? who’s out there snapping some photos of your journey in march?! it’s been a tough week of photos. a little depressing, i’d say. but that was my intention. not to depress…

here it is!! the march photo a day challenge! and boy, it’s a doozy. it’s gonna be a tough one. but that’s the point, right? time to get our creative juices flowing. so, grab…

28 days of love comes to a close today. and waiting in the wings is a new challenge for march! something i need to finish up today. hehe. yes, i am last minute. i…

well, here we are again. another week has flown by and there are only a few days left in february. crazy!! and from where i am sitting now, it feels pretty good to be…

is it really true? are we really half way through february already? part of me is very grateful…. the part that is longing for warm weather, sunshine, & new adventures. my lack of vitamin…

that’s right. after a month off, i decided that all i really needed was a little break. a breather, you could say. and, i’ve had that now. sooooo…. beginning tomorrow on the first of…

it’s over. back in the end of november i decided to create my own photo challenge, inspired by december holidays and happenings. i figured out some important & key words, looked at dates, and…

it may be december 2, but you can still join in! I must say… i am freaking excited & touched that some of you have decided to join me in the challenge! i am…

well, there are only 2 days until december begins. who’s jumping for joy with me? yes, i am super duper excited, even though it is an usually stressful time of the year for most…

well, here we are. halfway through november. already! it’s crazy, isn’t it? time is flying by and we are speeding towards the end of 2012. my brain can’t really comprehend that, so i’ll wait…

as i wrote last week, i decided to begin a new photo challenge this month. a thankfulness/gratitude challenge. there is still a prompt, but the focus is on being thankful for whatever that prompt…

well, i gotta admit. i pretty much feel like i failed with the photo a day challenge this month. yes, i took the pictures. and i posted them on instagram. but, like last month,…
