what was and what will be

This year has brought me:

~ Friends, more than I ever asked for and the most wonderful people too (that means you)

~ Photography, the way to be creative naturally (because I love it) that I have been looking for without knowing it

~ Glimpses of courage, that has nudged me into life when I was still saying no

~ Glimpses of compassion, for myself and for others. An acceptance that isn't judgmental or forgiving but understanding

~ Insights about myself, that were refreshing and liberating, but inevitably hard and heavy too

~ Inspiration and dreams, that I haven't dared imagine for a long time if ever

and I am grateful for it all, the hard times as well as the wonderful.

Wishing you translucent little seedlings that sprout a fresh green, poke their little tips above ground in your life and flower into the most colourful blooms you could never have imagined.

Thank you (all the way from the tips of my toes!) for this year, you wonderful beautiful people.

Happy new year!

xoxo

May the magical adventures begin... :)

Caroline,
I love the photos you've chosen for this post. I'm happy December Views brought me to your pocket. I hope your little sprouts grow like gangbusters in 2008. I'm starting a little project this week at my site you might like. Stop by if you can.

I'm so charmed by your blog and so pleased to have found it! I spent a week at the Barn in Sharpham last February and your photos and entries very much evoke that atmosphere for me.

All the best for the New Year!

I’m shocked that you are new to photography. Keep in mind this is coming from someone who knows nothing about it, but for what it’s worth, I find your pictures moving. You are adorable in that dress and cute haircut.
