When my running partner and good friend, Mel took this picture of me after one of our trail runs - I knew I would be using it in #Project 40. I give her all the credit for this shot because it is not only a great shot but it captures so much of what all us slightly maturing woman are looking for. Tranquility and calm in the crazy schedules of motherhood, school runs and work - is just a little... { stillness}.
We are not only living in the information age but we are living in the electronic age and we seldom switch off. seldom stop. seldom be still. I am a bit of a gadget junkie, so it was a purposeful decision I took this year to switch off. To quieten down the noise a bit. I needed to reconnect with myself again.
It's in the stillness of these stolen moments, when we are out trail running, hiking or surfing that I found my quiet. my calm. my still.
