I though I would put together a gallery of the 30 Day Challenge – so proud of everything I have learned. Not all the photos are spectacular but each and everyone has taught me something. ♥ Enjoy and hope to see you back here soon xxx Jody

Well the 30 day challenge has finished and todays photo was the hardest for me to capture! I’m so self critical that I hate having my photo taken – the irony really. But here it is, as I cringe. On sunday I’m 38 woo hoo. Age for me has always just been a number, never an alarm that has gone off or freaked me out, but as I look at the photo I see the weathering of years – where is the youth of that 25 year old? My age set point still feels 25. LOL, hopefully when I turn 50 I will say the same thing. As long as the days come for me to enjoy, I will take them with full heart felt enthusiasm – turning a year older just means I have more living to do. XXX Thank you for sharing this 30 day journey with me. XXXX ♥ XXXX Jody

Day 29 – black & white

Day 30 – self portrait

As the 30 day challenge nears the end, I’m relieved and incredibly rewarded by the results thus far. 🙂 Life has been hectic and the pressure of finding the right shot each day has been interesting at times. One thing for sure is that is has helped me work on my perfectionist tendencies. My mantra: It’s doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be! (source unknown – but a very wise person said this to me a while back ) Much love and only 2 day to go. I may have withdrawals, so keep watch as something else is on the boil. XX Much love Jody XX ♥

Day 27 – from a distance

Day 28 – flowers

Days 25 and 26 of the challenge focus on my loved ones. I just can’t help myself I’m so drawn to capturing them. They are my light, my soul food. Oh how I love them so. Enjoy this wonderful day xxx ♥ Jody

Day 25 – something pink

Day 26 – close up

I have been thoroughly enjoying the 30 day challenge, and I can’t believe I only have a few days to go. How the month of June has flown by. Some days I lost my mojo but other days I rocked it – the camera wanted to take a good picture. She’s a tad moody (LOL) I just need to keep it up for 5 more days. I hope you have an amazing day and thanks for stopping by. XXX Jody
