Focusing on Life: Words

Our focus on life prompt this week is words. In reading other's blogs I discovered that many people choose a word to focus on for the year instead of a  new years resolution that they won't keep. I liked that idea. I was reading http://artjewelryelements.blogspot.com/ on Monday and the blogger was Diana P. from Suburban Girl Studio LLC. Her word for the year is explore. I decided that explore would be a good word for me too. I want to explore further jewelry techniques this year. I also want to explore who I am more this year too. Minnesota tourism uses explore Minnesota on their promotional materials so I decided that a state map would be a good place to find my word photo. To see what the other participants word photos are please click on Sally's link http://thestudiosublime.com/

  12. I like your word. I have been traveling since I was little, and now as a parent we love to go exploring....down country roads, on trips or in my dad's north 80 acres with the kids.

  13. One of the few states we didn't get to see in our travels and I understand that is a loss.

  14. Minnesota is beautiful in the summer.So green. Lots of lakes and forests, farms and fields. Good fishing if you like to do that. If you asked me about it today my answer should not be as nice. It's snowing and the windchill of -40 are expected for the next two days and a half days. I am guessing that this is the weather that you got a couple of days ago.
