So total randomness today.
It's been a fairly quiet weekend which was nice...as last week was a bit crazy. But I am loving the added meditation moments in my life...as that has helped settle me a bit when I get too frazzled.
So I have a confession...I am spending way too much time on flickr lately. Good lord, that site just sucks me into a photographic black hole! And now I picked up a February food challenge...which is to photograph some type of food everyday. Yikes! I hope I am not getting in over my head...but it sounded like fun...and I do love food. So I am taking the torch and running with it...picking up from Steven's January Food Challenge...then I will pass the torch to someone in March (any takers???). Let me tell you...I got some seriously big shoes to fill...because his photography is friggin AMAZING (check out Steven's stream here)! And be sure to turn off your cell phone and grab a cup of coffee or tea...cuz you'll be there for awhile!
~Anyway~
This got me thinking about this month full of sugar coated love....
Do you have any challenges on the horizon?
Can you think of one thing you really want to do or accomplish...just one thing!
How about making Feburary the month that you do one thing that scares the crap out of you?
You have 28 days...
Who's with me?
**Ohhhh to all my photog friends have you discovered Develop on Fridays? Holy cow....check this out!
Take a peek...I am blooming 365 days in 2010

Just stopping in to say how much I enjoy your blog. :)
I think February is a great month to re-evaluate our changes and challenges, especially the New Year's ones. And, it's only 28 days, 4 weeks to be exact... it's perfect!
February is "Remodel Me!" month. New hair cut and color, new make up (trying bare minerals), learning to accessorize my clothes, losing weight.
If all that doesn't give one pause, nothing will!!! LOL
I'm totally with you! Going to begin the book I've always wanted to write....February is my favorite month of the year! It seems that everything good that has ever happened to me has happened in this lovely month.
wow...you have your hands full !
I think I'm going to sit back and watch this month unfold, while I take a stick and poke at it every now and then just to see what kind of reaction I get....
I say that now... but we'll see what the morning brings for day one.....
love that you are so involved....
Hmmm. I'm just going to try to keep my head above water this month.... Teaching, helping to bring about 100 dear friends of my in-laws together to celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary, calls to the caterer, scanning photos, and I STILL have a long-overdue gift to get in the mail to my Aussie friend. It just keeps sitting on my dresser taunting me.... I need your energy!
I am going to have to think on this one, I don't know if I have anything that scares the crap out of me...I am working on my lifestyle change...something to think about for sure.You sound very busy. Take care.
My challenge for February is to lose 10 unwanted pounds. I started a few days ahead, but I am expecting great results.
I like this post...
I'm currently working on something that has its moments of... 'scaring the crap out of me'
when I can I'm going to tell you all about it.
best wishes

I too am so energized by all of the talent on Flickr! The most mundane subjects are turned into gold right in front of my very eyes! And a daily food challenge?! How fun! I keep thinking I'd like to take my photography to the next level... maybe actually learn a thing or two about technique, rather than just drown myself in composition and then editing on Picnik- LOL. I used to use Photoshop Elements, then switched computers and never loaded it again on my new one. Any advice? What's your favorite editing software? Thanks Caroline!
Oh yum I want these so bad, but promise to wash them down with some tea. I love your blog sweetie and so glad I found you. Come stop by for a slice of San Francisco...
i'm so behind on flickr...i feel like i'm drowning. it's all i can do to work, blog and read my feed. plus try to do a photo a day and work in my art journal (which is feeling neglected).
there are not enough hours in the day.
good luck with your challenge.
Just found you..
just became a follower..
trying to create..
calm in my sea of chaos..
warm hugs, laughing smiles..
and kitty purrs..
Loui♥
I like this challenge...perhaps I'll take it up another month. With the Winter Olympics all set to begin here in my city, I'm just focusing on breathing and getting through it, to be completely honest.
(p.s. I really *heart* your blog).

i am plugging away at dieting and exercising. UGH! i am not sure i can add anything petrifying to that list for this month!!! ha!
and if you like flickr, you might also like tumblr! you might! :)
Okay, I'll join you. I am going to fly across the coutnry to meet my magical friend in person...many angles scare me, but the potential Good far overshadows my Fear...until I think what the world shall I wear, what are the first words I will say, do you shake hands, hug...uuugghhh:)You just turn it all off and let your heart speak.....
What scares the crap out of me this month is doing my taxes for my business and family for the first time in many years. Also using the Skype camera my husband gave me for Christmas. I don't know why it scares me to call someone on it, but it does. I much better at writing than talking.
Mmmmm .. will have to ponder. Good thing I have 28 days. ;)
Hummmm I don't know that I can do that to myself...might make my blood pressure go up too high! hahaha....I'm just gonna let February be my LOVE month!
Nice Blog. I will be back for more!
I have to start exercising and stick to it. When I exercise, I feel great. I fell off the wagon and too many desserts are tempting me.
Blogging. Photoshop. Facebook. Flickr.
I spent 5 hours sitting on my couch last night on the computer. I can't handle it. But I will go to his stream.
