I Learned
No Excuse to take photos!
Go out in the rain.
Stay Curious and Inquisitive
Exceed your own expectations.
Pick a photo or postcard and write about it.
Narrow down to one person or topic.
Not the forest, but a leaf, moss, or rock.
Hand write in a journal every day.
We love to know each others story.
Make Time to Write and Do Art!
