Something New.

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

Last night we had our first official board meeting
for the Shine Scholarship Project.
Having help is such a blessing.
I used to think that I needed to do everything by myself,
and had a hard time trusting that people would
follow through, and catch my vision.

In our 2 hour meeting, more was accomplished than
I could have done alone in a month.
This past year my faith in people has grown so much.
From you sweet souls who email me offering help and your talents,
to others who follow through on making things happen.
My new outlook on teamwork and support systems 
is going to make The Shine Project what I want it to be.
I walked out literally jumping with excitement.
And it is all because this year I took a chance on a new idea.

Here's to new outlooks.
New goals.
New ideas.
And a new level of trust.

These pictures are seriously ADORABLE.

Ash, how much are you taking on these days? I have an idea that I can't get out of my head. Wondering if you might want to collaborate on it with me. I have only asked one other blogger so far {colorissue} and Aarean wants to help out too. I think that it is relatively an easy project and I think it would be inspiring and rewarding.

If you think you might be interested in hearing about it shoot me an email.

I love this outfit.

I could write a book on 101 ways to wear my black leather jacket and this outfit would be included. =)

AND?

I love your shine project.

And you. xoxo

i am the same way... i struggle to give up control because i don't think others will do it as well as me. but that's such a prideful way to think. i am glad God has given you such amazing helpers!
