Welcome to the 2012 One Little Word February blog hop.
A glimpse of a journey that has proven to be anything but little.
Before I move onto February. I didn’t have a photo picked out for the pre-class inspiration until recently. This is the photo that goes in the very front of the album welcoming the new year and the new word. I finally decided to go with this one.
The February inspiration is about seeing your word through the lens of your camera. This is something I will do at least one more time this year. This time I’m taking a literal look through the lens. From the moment I picked BALANCE as my word for 2012 I have envisioned a collage that shows exactly what I am trying to balance. The things that mean the most to me. The things that bring me the most joy. The things that have a consistent presence and importance in my life year after year.
Note: My photos were printed in the wrong size so for now I’m sharing a digital image of the collage. As soon as I have the photos reprinted I will use the divided page protector as the final project for my album.
BALANCE
being a mom of 2 As

I'm a wife, mom of 2, Swiftwick, FitFluential, Sweat Pink and Girls Gone Sporty Ambassador that is passionate about running, plant-based nutrition, fitness and an overall healthy lifestyle. Living a healthy life is not about perfection. It's about commitment, effort and progress! 
Awww… nice picture of you.
I still have to catch up and take a beginning photo.
I love the pictures you chose for your collage.
Nice job.

Your photo collage certainly reflects your many different roles as well. Thanks for sharing,

Jill – fabby photo of you hon! Balance was my word last year and you have captured it so well in your photo’s. Will be interested to see how you do the rest of the year too. Very inspiring.
Thank you Sharyn? So, do you feel like you found the elusive balance last year? It’s a challenge for sure!

Lovely photo of you, nice collage of your nine things to balance. Focus and balance are connected and I considered both before settling on balance.
Thank you. Between the 2 of us maybe we can figure out the secret to feeling balanced in life

I love your photos Jill! Your cover photo is so serene! Your mosaic is really awesome and it does feel balanced (so cool to see how words are reflected in the montage).
Thank you Cynthia! My Welcome 2012 photo was taken in my happy place

great photos jill – i think they speak to many of us who, like you, wear alot of different hats and juggle alot responsibilities. sounds like your word is helping you keep all those balls in the air.
(hehehe) love, kelly

“balance” and “focus” seem to have us heading down a lot of similar pathways this year Jill!
