A Photo a Week Challenge: Girl Power

girl_power_nmp

While it might seem a bit cliche, literally none of us would be here without women. All of our lives have been touched by women: mothers, grandmothers, aunts, cousins, sisters. I was fortunately enough to take family photos for this wonderful group of women (and the men in their lives). What a great legacy.

Also, I could not do a challenge honoring women without including a photo of my own amazing mom. She is loving, supportive, intelligent, caring, and an amazing example of all that a woman can and should be. I love you, Mom.

A Photo A Week: Thankfulness

thanks_nmp

Today, the United States celebrates Thanksgiving, and so I’ve been thinking of what I’m thankful for. I post a lot of pictures of my husband, who I am very thankful for every day. I post a lot of pictures of the beautiful state of Utah, where I live. I post a lot of pictures of the amazing places we’ve been able to see as we travel this amazing world we live in. But today, I have to thank the amazing woman who raised me. Thanks, Mom. You are my hero. You have shown grace and strength in very difficult times. You have demonstrated true, unconditional love to your family and others, even strangers. You have been the best example of what it means to mother. I know you’re not perfect, but you are the perfect mother for me. I love you, Mom.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE ONE OR TWO OR MORE PHOTOS OF WHAT YOU ARE THANKFUL FOR.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Admiration

I admire my mother. The last couple of years have been very tough, but she has more than weathered the storm. She has shone and been a light for her children during difficulties. She has shown us what it truly means to be a devoted spouse and partner, and she has kept her kindness and positivity through it all. I love you, Mom. Happy Mother’s Day this week.

I realized after I published this that it works for Cee’s Black & White Challenge: Facial Features challenge for this week as well.
