M4H P52 “Focused” Winner and Eye Candy
Two months just about behind you! I hope you are giving yourself a big huge pat on the back!! I am super impressed with not only you sticking it out for a couple of months, but also for the progress I am seeing already!
Last week the theme was “Focused” I am excited to see where you all went with this. There is always so much variation and versatility and imagination in our group each week. I hate to say it but we have the most talented group of photographers and I am honored to lead up this project!
As a refresher, every Monday I browse the Flickr Group, the Facebook Group and the Fan Page for image shares to feature here from our project 52’s past weekly theme. I generally don’t limit the amount of images I choose as it is close to impossible to narrow it down sometimes.
My “Focused” Image for this week:

M4H Focused | Unconditionally Mine
This image will always speak to my mother’s heart for so many reasons. A belly for kissing, little dimpled fingers for nibbling and all those nap and bedtimes I laid my head on your chest to be sure you were still breathing. The beginning of unconditional love, and unconditional worry.

Week 7 ~ Focused
What better for a 4 year old to focus on? His dreams! They have been learning about chinese new year in school and they had fortune cookies. This was my little mans message. He’s a big dreamer so if he does truly focus on them I know he’ll do whatever he sets his mind to π

This month I am really {focused} on my “28 days of hearts project”. Keeping up with our P52 is challenging in itself for me, so shooting daily with a theme is even more of a challenge. Happy Valentine’s Day lovely ladies. So grateful for our group!! <3

focused [7:52]
Focused in life. Focused to do what I want to do.
My first interview for grad school is on Tuesday. It’s for the Master of Science in Biomedical Communications. It’s what I want to do in life.
I want to combine my passion for biology, with my love for photography, and I’m so motivated to learn traditional art in the process. I want to be able to participate in a program that will allow me to bring out my creative side, while I still continue to help people learn, and have my contribution to society.
While I’m afraid of the interview process, I know that I want to do this, and I know that even if I don’t prepare, I can convince the admissions committee that this is what I want, and I’m determined to make it happen. If not this year, then next.
It’s also reading week this week. So much for me not doing anything as usual. I’ve got this interview on Tuesday, and another one on Thursday. There goes that.
I went shopping yesterday. Needed some retail therapy, and also “needed” some formal clothes for my interviews, because I clearly don’t have any at home. Lol! It’s okay, some extra motivation doesn’t hurt. Haha.
Anyways, off to prep for my interview! π
Thank you for your motivation! Your comments have gotten me to this point, and enough to convince me that yes, I can combine my hobby with my career, and maybe I am good enough to do it.
Always learning, always growing!

I admit it. I focus too much on your growing up. Most days you seem too old to want or need your mom. You seem mature enough to handle most things on your own. So I try to let you. But today…today, when you thought you had lost me, I realized that you’re still so small. And when you ran to me with tears in your eyes, I wanted to cry too. I had forgotten that you’re still my little boy. That you still have fears and insecurities. Tonight you hugged me a little longer and a little tighter when I kissed you goodnight. And I will never, ever, see you the same way again. My focus has changed.

weeks of snow and rain and more snow, I was very focused on the unexpected sunshine – too bad it only lasted one day!

Also Week 7 of the My Four Hens Project 52.
It’s been several crazy and hectic weeks from running to kids’ activities to being shorthanded at work and getting ready to host our annual (cattle) production sale next week. As I came home from work, the moon was just starting to pop over the horizon. It was only 20ΒΊF but I stopped in the middle of our gravel road and trudged throught he snow in the ditch to {focus} on the quiet beauty.

For the last year I have been focusing on becoming healthier. I have been focusing on eating clean. I have been focusing on strength training and getting fit. I am still focusing on these items, but this year I have added a few more things to the list.
I am focusing on my spirit. I am focusing on love. I am focusing on creativity. What are you focusing on?

Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.

I will admit I am guilty. It’s hard not to get caught up in deadlines. My engineer brain is always honing in for solutions and maximum efficiency. I look around and I make goals and solve problems. Now, with 10.5 weeks until we welcome our 5th baby in the family it feels impossible to get where we need to go. But somewhere along the way we need to let go and just enjoy the ride and realize we may never get where we think we’re going, but acknowledge that we’re not standing still either.

Week 7 – Focused

It’s the first night of our big snow storm here in Southern Maryland and all little Miss Ava has been focused on is when will the snow start! I could not have cared less that it is 10:30pm and you wanted to taste the first snowflakes. The joy on your face was worth the multiple changes of clothes. I love the way your face lights up and how focused you are on the silence of the night. “Ssshhh! Listen Mama, you can hear the snow fall.” You sure can my sweet little peanut.
