{2012 resolution}

this year instead of making a list of 10 new years resolutions,
that i probably won't keep.
i'm going to have just one word.
one word that i can keep reminding myself. 
one word that i can become.
FEARLESS.



Be fearless.
If I only make one resolution this year, let it be to
live boldly.
I control this moment. 
Rather than cautiously test the water,
dive straight into life with freeing abandon.
Imagining the person I want to be and the life I want to live.
Believing in myself and my family.
Embracing beauty.
Discovering new passions.
And whatever I do,
wherever I go,
don't be afraid to make a splash.

while we were visiting family in louisiana,
we took a trip out to see a few of the plantations on cane river.
i fell in love with the history, the huge trees, and the stories.
i also fell in love with an artist.
clementine hunter.
granddaughter of a slave. grew up on a plantation. never learned to read or write. but in her late 50s taught herself how to paint. her paintings depicted life on the plantations.
