This is the second week in my 52 week challenge. Each week I get a "word"' and then my challenge is to snap a photo. This week our word was "Shine". One thing you should know, is I live in Texas. Big. Beautiful. Texas. I grew up in a Chicago suburb, then went to school at Marquette U in Milwaukee, WI. And I can certainly say --- I. Hate. Cold. Winter. Days!

52 weeks in photos
I make myself laugh. Although I don't "do" resolutions per se, I am a HUGE fan of new beginnings! With that in mind, I am starting a few projects for 2012.

I love it. I love it. I love it! NEW beginnings... not necessarily new resolutions, just new beginnings. I love how everyone yesterday said goodbye to the old... and are ready to anticipate the new.

Week 12 ~ Let. It. Go.
This week our challenge seems easy enough, however, sometimes we don't know when or how to "let it go"... once we do, we find release, relief and often times the missing peace we have been craving. The holiday season, as I have said before, is a blend of celebration and sadness. Good times and stressful times...
