52 week 4 – INSPIRE

Well I’ve made it to week 4 of project 52.  Success in my book!  And today marks the first week of the BLOOM blog circle that will give you a look into other photographers’ submissions as well.  This week’s theme is:  INSPIRE.

The past few years have been an insane roller coaster of self discovery and growth. Shortly after we got married I was misdiagnosed and mis-medicated for what was actually bi-polar disease.  After an emotional thunderstorm and gaining a team of new doctors I was started down a new path of recovery.  The morning of my new program my mom brought me my AM cup of coffee.  In this mug.  She simply kissed my forehead, handed it to me, and said, today it begins.  Each morning as I reach for a mug, I see this one in the mix.  It reminds me that each cup brings a fresh start of a new day.  What you make of it is up to you.  Add a little cream and sugar and be inspired.

Now head on over to Jennifer Bruss Photography (based in South Carolina) to check out her take on “INSPIRE.”
