One Thousand Gifts - Week 1

I recently started reading One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. In it she writes about living life to it's fullest by being thankful for the everyday gifts you are given. She documents one thousand things she is thankful for by really slowing down and taking the time to truly take it all in.

 After recently finishing my 52 week project from last year, I have been searching for inspiration on a new project for 2015. Once I started reading this book I knew I had found my new project. While I have seen others take on this project, I am excited to take this inspiration and make it my own. Each week I will post either in writing or pictures the things I am thankful for.

Gratitude bestows

reverence, allowing us to

encounter

everyday epiphanies, those

transcendent moments of

awe that 

change forever how we

experience life and the

world.
