How a Big Commitment Inspired Me.
My business partner, Lucia, has embarked on an amazing adventure. She has committed to taking a photo every day for the next 365 days. Lucia is an energetic person, always on the go. But this new undertaking seems to have given her an extra boost. She is making special trips here and there to explore ideas. She is taking photos that express her interest in abstract ideas and graphic concepts. A whole new person is emerging. She even allowed as how she might not stop after 365 days.
I am just on the side lines watching her enterprise. But something has happened to me, too. Her commitment and enjoyment has lighted a fire under me as well. Commitment, it turns out, is catching. Like a benign upset tummy.
I think every once in a while we need to check out what our friends, colleagues, business partners are giving us in ways we never expected. Thank you, Lucia, for this boost of energy that I am freely partaking in.
Is there someone in your life that you can catch a ride with? It’s there for free. I’ll take all the help I can get. You?

P.S. I must comment on this photo before I go. I am drawn to the contrast between the pristine white blossom and the tangle of grass on which it rests. A perfect setting found entirely at random. Wonderful. That Lucia! She is an inspiration in every way. Not only has she committed to this massive undertaking. She is doing it very, very well.
