Tomorrow I begin the series, 47 Life Lessons I’ve Learned. The idea came from a blog post by Naomi at Poetic Aperture.  She created a wonderful blog post about the life lessons she’s learned and I set out to follow suit, only to realize it felt better to do one lesson a day, each day leading up to my birthday.

What you’ll find in this series of posts will vary.  Some will be short and speak briefly of a lesson I learned.  Others will be longer and go into more detail.  This is because I want them all to flow vs. feeling forced at times when the creative juice or desire to share may not be as strong for me.  Yes, that’s a bonus lesson for today…go with the flow.You’ll also find my photography in many posts…as many as possible.  I am hoping I will have something that fits for every post but, who knows, I may not and I am…going with the flow.  If I don’t have something, that’s okay and I’ll find something else.

While many of these lessons have been learned over a lifetime, many of them are new to me.  These past couple of years have included a lot of transformation for me and transformation brings about lessons.

I hope you’ll join me on this journey, leading up to my 47th birthday on September 30th.  Who knows? Maybe you will be inspired to create something of your own.
