Your Everyday Brave
In 2014, I stumbled across an idea called "One Little Word" ... essentially, you pick a word for the year and you focus on personal growth centered around that one. little. word. What I have learned, however, is that you do not pick the word ... it chooses you. It's a pesky little beast, poking at you, bouncing around in the back of your mind and it won't leave you alone until you acknowledge it. Like a 2 year old who wants a snack.
2017 ... my word has chosen me. And it scares me. Because, well ... it doesn't sound easy or comfortable. What is, you might be asking?
Brave. My one little word is "brave".
In 2017, I am choosing to begin a new project, "Your Everyday Brave". Are you fighting a chronic illness that other's can't even begin to imagine? Infertility? One of our amazing veterans with a story to share? Do you have a child that is facing a life threatening or terminal illness? Did you lose your home to a fire or foreclosure and you're starting over? Here's the deal ... I know what "brave" looks like for me, right now ... I also know there are many of you out there that face "brave" every day.
In 2017, I want to begin sharing those stories through photography and videography, for you and for others. I would like to donate my services to at least 12 people/families who are willing to share their story, to show what "brave" means to them, to bring a "me, too" to others fighting a similar war, or who may simply need a snapshot of their life as they face losing a loved one. If you are someone, or know of someone that might be interested, please fill out the contact form below. I would love to hear what you bring to the table, what you have to share with the world! Your story is important, it has value, it gives hope ... and I hope you'll join me in "Your Everyday Brave" in 2017!
