I came about this theme in an interesting way. My parents came to visit Aki and me during Christmas, and on their flight down my dad met and befriended a man who helps people invest their money. His theme for the coming year is “What People Need.” He told my dad that he has four focal points for how he thinks people should invest in 2011. They are food, health, energy, and smart safe money.
A Christmas present from my dad was the book The Happiness Project. The author did things to try to be happier for a year. After looking closely at her monthly themes I thought they would also fit closely with my photo blog theme. Below I’ve listed my subcategories for each month, fitting under the greater theme of “What People Need”. The pictures I take might be of what people think they need or what I think I need myself. You might not agree, of course.
They might fit the category perfectly, or you may have to think about them a little. I hope you enjoy going on this photo journey with me.
A few days ago I switched from being a lead teacher to lead teacher/operations manager for Abrakadoodle Art Education. So far it has been overwhelming learning all of the many things I need to learn while under pressure to get teacher’s monthly supplies ready at the same time. I feel a little more comfortable with the job every day though, so hopefully soon I’ll feel like I really understand everything that goes into my responsibilities. Trusting that I am in God’s hands every second of every day.
My mom and dad came to visit the week after Christmas. We played a lot of fun laughter-filled games (including a murder mystery), saw some great movies (King’s Speech and My Man Godfrey), met with some awesome friends, and ate at some good restaurants. We thought their trip might have to be cut short because my Grandma was in a car accident and not doing well, but then, thankfully, she starting very gradually improving. They left on New Years Day. Merry Christmas and Happy 2011! By the way, it’s absolutely crazy that it’s already 2011. May you find rest and peace in the new year.

Here is a link to a book I made with the broken pictures I took everyday of 2009. I’m working on a different version, but having complications so feel free to view/buy this version and let me know what you think.
