~ Commitment ~
Today i commit to:
Saying yes
Saying no
Believing in possibility
Taking risks
Trying really hard, then trying some more
Finishing
Putting it out there
Being open
Being patient
Being excited
Allowing dreams to manifest without getting in their way
Letting go of all fear, worry and competitiveness
Embracing hope.
Happy Halloween!

~ The Photo Album ~
Speaking of books, my copy of The Photo Album finally arrived this morning and I'm thinking it's a thumbs up from the universe – a gentle nudge that says get on with it woman – for this lovely book includes one of my favourite Polaroids! In fact, this is the first time one of my photographs has been published in an actual honest-to-goodness real-life book, so i guess it's a red letter day all round.
Put together by Frankie magazine in Australia, The Photo Album contains 110 photographs collected from photographers all over the world, and I'm so happy to be in the mix with lots of my Flickr pals.
If you like dreamy light, balloons, thoughtfulness and whimsy, this is definitely the book for you; i can't wait to see what they cook up for Volume Two.
