B. mid-laughter, taken 3/22/14

This is week 12 of The 52 Project. As you may recall, the purpose of the project is that once a week, in most cases, a participant agrees to post a photo of their child(ren). In my case, my children are grown, so I usually post photos of one of my six grandchildren.

This week, I am posting a photograph of my grandchild, B. He is an intelligent, active, happy and adventurous little guy, with a penchant for learning Spanish. He is also a budding Picasso as he loves to paint. B.’s dad is a photographer, so he is comfortable in front of the camera. In this photograph, B. stopped for a moment to pose for this shot. In it, he is mid- laughter, which comes naturally to him.

“Whatever is happening in your life,
don’t pre-occupy yourself
with the question “Why?
But rather ponder more on to “Where?”
these events will be bringing you.
Know that you are being led to
somewhere beautiful,
beyond your present harsh reality.
Once you get to the WHERE,
then you’ll know the WHY.
Trust the process.” ~ Unknown

“Owning your story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy — the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” ~ Brene Brown
