“Always remember, your focus determines your reality.” — George Lucas
I have never been one for making New Year’s resolutions, yet 2020 seems to be the perfect year to hone my focus. While it may not be possible to achieve perfect 20/20 vision, I resolve to focus on my work, my relationships, my interests, and my creative endeavors. I will strive to listen intently, to slow down, to notice the beauty and inspiration that surrounds us if we just take the time to notice, to be fully present. In 2020, I resolve to focus.
For the past two years, I have participated in the Dogwood 52 Photo Challenge. The site was retired at the end of 2019, but several members have agreed to participate in the new Capture 52 project. Here are the prompts for 2020:
