If you’re a faithful reader of this blog, you know that I have a goal of meeting 1 new person every single day. For the month of July 2016, I decided to embark on a little adventure that would document that goal. I wanted to make a note on every single person that was my …
Category: 1 Second/Photo Everyday
Looking back at a great year: 2015.
It was exactly 1 year ago that I made a very firm decision. I was inspired by a good friend of mine (really, though: November 28th in the video below) by how he had the dedication to do the same project, and I admired that. I wanted to do it too, I posted about it here …
