   We all do it; ok maybe not all of us. I know that Avanaut will be busy this weekend on his beloved fighter project and +Me2 will be flying off to foreign shores courtesy of Big Inc. My husband is out of town, my kids are busy and I am left with no more excuses, it is time to face my fears.
   
   The task I have set for myself isn't difficult, I simply need to edit 18 photos so they look vaguely similar. Piece of cake...right?
   
   It is not the work I am afraid of, because I like the work. It is the potential failure I don't want to face. I guess I need to relearn the following lesson:
   
   

   An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail. ~ Edwin Land

   
   So this weekend I will endeavor to be boring. I will cut my self off from the world, face my fears and try to get this project done. If I fall short of my artistic goals, I can remind myself that this is all part of the process.

F as in ...

Being stuck in corporate meeting rooms for 5 days is a ... challenge (and I have another 5 days lined up)

Most probably it strikes a few of the disambiguation interpretations of the F word, but for me there are just a few that stuck out to me the last few days ... and these are two of my Favorites when discussing the topic with Maya, my Friendly buzzy Bee (and both Friendly and Favorite does start with an F.)

F as in Failure.
I failed my daily posting. Big times ...
I knew upfront it was coming up and I basically tried to challenge myself to get this done.
I failed, yet I grew.
Sometimes failure bleeds to a bigger thing.
I will come back to why I believe my failure made me stronger in a later post, but don't feel bad if you fail on your personal journey, I am sure it will help to grow you stronger ...

F as in Fun.
Shelly has been hammering this one hard and sound and if you are unclear what I am talking about, just do a quick read up of her last five posts.
I was so happy to collect my body and experience some Fun.
Remember, shooting should be Fun.
If it is not, look for the Fun.
