The 100 Day Project

{by The Great Discontent}


When I first heard about this Project I was a little hesitant to join, I mean 100 days is a long time to commit to something on a regular basis, let alone a creative-type project that focuses on consistency.  I thought about it on and off for a weekend... what my project would be, what I could feasibly do for a full 100 days and most of all, how could I grow from this? By the end of the weekend I had decided I was going to do it and what I wanted to focus on.  I knew at this point that if I didn't participate I would regret not trying.  So here I am, day 3 of my 100 day journey.  I chose to focus on everything that brings light to my life, whether it's people, journaling, a beam of sunshine, a family walk or that perfect cup of coffee ~ and photograph it. It's something I've been working on for a few years now.. focusing on the joy in life and ignoring all that bad stuff that we all seem to have thrown our way.   So this project seemed like a perfect way to keep me focused on all the things that make my life shine, even on those cloudy days.  {#100DaysOfAllThatShines}

The second and most beautiful part of this project is the people I'm going to meet.  Last summer I did a 30 Day Sketchbook challenge & I couldn't believe the beautiful and creative souls I met on my journey.  Not only did I focus on my gift but I made true friends during it!  So that's part of the fun in this, too. Focusing on what you love and meeting great people along the way. I've already met some incredible artists, singers and talented folk in the past 3 days & I am so excited for the next 97 awesome days ahead!

As a side note:  It's not too late to join and catch up!  I think that once you try it and take that leap of faith you'll just love it and really sink into what it's about.  It's such a beautiful way to meet a whole community of fellow Instagramers trying something new.  And if you have any questions I'm always here.
