Lessons I've learned this month:
• The elevator to success is out of order. Use the stairs one step at a time.
• Ask, believe, receive.
• The Japanese concept of Kaizen (Continuous small improvements will yield big results.)
• Stick to your goals by tracking your progress - M.J. Ryan
• Keep stretching yourself and avoid complacency - Joel Osteen
• Go out more often!
• Visualization does work. I got what I asked for :-)

Found a new home for my 365 photos:  http://www.365project.org/rianne29

What I love about 365project.org:

•  Great time-saver compared to Facebook. It automatically displays the date the photos were taken and arranges them in chronological order.

 • Calendar View -- gives an instant preview of what my printed layout will look like

 • Great source of inspiration - Sometimes I browse through other users' projects when I'm running out of ideas. Most of the photos are professionally done, it seems like I'm the only one who's using a point-and-shoot camera!

INSPIRATION

January 2, 2011. - I was flipping through an old scrapbook magazine when an article titled Project 365 caught my eye. It's about documenting your year by taking a photo everyday. I'm quite familiar with this project because I've seen some Facebook friends'  365 albums before but I said to myself, "Hey...that's a great idea.. but I can't squeeze time for it everyday." As I read through the article, I realized that I haven't been maximizing the use of my dslr camera... maybe this project could inspire me to practice my skills again. (and what perfect timing- the year just started!) I already have a Day 1 photo (a personalized bookmark from Cafe Mary Grace) which I shot the day before I decided to take on this project.  I'm on Day 34 now and I must say that it's very fun and challenging to think of new concepts everyday.. I also enjoy documenting every little detail of my life, haha. Some photos may seem too mundane to others though.. :) 

PLAN

• Make a photo collage every month

• Compile them in a 5x7" album

• Post photos online

JANUARY 2011 Highlights:       

commitment • changes • inspiration • motivation • discipline • self-control • makeovers • new projects • fulfillment • blossoming friendships

CREATE

• I designed this layout in Photoshop. It seems like a tedious task, but I actually enjoyed making it... it's my way of relaxation. :)
• Fonts: Helvetica Neue Light, Quicksand, Gothic 725Blk BT, Futura Light
• Color: I chose green for January because it signifies positive change and good health --> the goals that I focused on this month (and hopefully won't forget, haha). I'm glad that I started the year right, I hope it goes on this way! :)
