Project: Joie de Vivre: Be Open to Opportunity
http://projectjoiedevivre.blogspot.com/2010/02/be-open-to-opportunity.html
Be Open to Opportunity. Does the thought, "I could never do that" ever cross your mind? Or, "Am I good enough? Or perhaps, "Why me? This has often crossed my mind. I got into the mindset of thinking that I couldn't before I even tried. In high school, I was often timid about trying things - trying out for basketball, trying out for a part in the musical (as dance ensemble), or running for student government. Often, my mind what wrapped around these questions. Why would anyone pick me? It was slow going a...

Friday Night Reflections: Step 2. Sometimes I don't know how I made it through an entire week. From Monday through Friday, it's a constant high speed chase. And then, when I sit down to think about what I did during the week, I can't for the life of me, remember. Or when Monday comes rolling around, I can't remember what I did on the weekend. Do you ever feel that way? And then, when I try to remember what is on my to-do list, I can't remember a thing. Ever feel like this? Don't know where to start?

Project: Joie de Vivre: Pursue Happiness
http://projectjoiedevivre.blogspot.com/2010/02/pursue-happiness.html
I think this should be a motto. Go in the directions of the life you've always wanted, even if the steps are little. I was talking to a new friend today about this. She just finished her residency for medical school, but also loves photography. She's decided to pursue happiness and only work part time as a doctor, and go towards building a photography business. I commended her choices. She made a decision. One that I'm sure was not made lightly. She has tapped into her joie de vvire. Merci a tous,. I'm a...

Project: Joie de Vivre: Friday Night Reflections: Step 5
http://projectjoiedevivre.blogspot.com/2010/02/friday-night-reflections-step-5.html
Friday Night Reflections: Step 5. Yay, this blog is just over a month old! And it's been a fun journey so far. So for today's Friday Night Reflection, I'm piggybacking off of yesterday's post on " Pursue Happiness. And thinking about what makes me happy. What makes you happy? What/who do you love? I love simple things. Beignets from Cafe du Monde. La vie francaise. The French life. Crepes. Crepes with Nutella and bananas. Mmmm. The metro. Or the subway in New York. Photography. Photographing people.

Project: Joie de Vivre: Friday Night Reflections: Saturday Edition

Friday Night Reflections: Saturday Edition. What opportunities do you have? What could you be doing? What do you wish you were doing? I had a recent comment from someone who wanted to start writing again. To that I say, start writing. In a journal. On a blog. In a notebook or pieces of scrap paper. But just make sure you are writing. Everyday. Even for a few minutes, but practice your craft. Or for music or singing. Do it. And do some more. So, what's your opportunity to do what you want to be doing?

Project: Joie de Vivre: Sometimes, You Have to Just Do It
http://projectjoiedevivre.blogspot.com/2010/03/sometimes-you-have-to-just-do-it.html
Sometimes, You Have to Just Do It. I'm a cautious person when it comes to spending money. I learned to be frugal and thrifty from a young age from my dad. And I'm thankful because it helped me be a vigilant saver and never blow my budget. It's how I socked away cash for retirement (its' never too soon to start! And it's how I was able to save a nice sum of cash for our wedding. But sometimes you just have to do it. We're saving for the wedding.". I have a camera body that's still good.". Do you find it e...

Project: Joie de Vivre: Joyeux Anniversaire!
http://projectjoiedevivre.blogspot.com/2010/02/joyeux-anniversaire.html
Tomorrow is my birthday. I'm not one of those people who necessarily dreads their birthday. I actually enjoy celebrating. However, I do kind of cringe at the idea of getting older. Not because it's scary. Or because I haven't accomplished everything that I wanted to by this time. Or because I'm afraid of aging. But simply because I can't believe that hitting the age that I only ever imagined being. Celebrating and expressing love to everyone who is meaningful in my life. And tomorrow is my birthday.

Getting Clear on Your Purpose. Have you ever had one of those days where you don't know what you're doing or why you're doing it? Or you feel discouraged about pursuing your dream and you haven't any idea of how you're doing to make it happen? That was me today.

It's not just to take pictures. It'...I attended a ...
