This will be my last post in 2015.
What are you going to do tonight? Are you going to blow half of your paycheck up (fireworks)? Or are you watching other people do it? Or are you one of those people who don’t really care and will go to sleep whenever you’re tired? (Like me?) I’m going to bed whenever I feel like it and I’ll wake up around 12 am because my neighbors like to throw those bombs that make me scared because I think my windows will explode from it. But my weekly special isn’t the new year or anything that has anything to do with the new year. I don’t have new year resolutions, just the thing I tell myself every night: I’ll do better tomorrow. My weekly special is this picture: Why? It’s amazing what you can find in the smallest things you normally ignore. How many of us look at the smoke that comes from a candle after you put it out? How many of us take the time to zoom in on it to find something this special? I am really dedicating the next 365 days to lookingat the smaller things in life to find the beauty and specialness in it. I am going to focus and zoom in on everything I normally ignore. I was taking pictures this morning and I wasn’t even paying attention to what would be in the picture. Afterwards I went through those pictures and I saw expressions on my daughters face, little signs in her eyes and how focused she was on her tea set. I was looking at her while I was taking those pictures but I didn’t see it until I took the photo and looked at it. I am going to find something as beautiful as this. Maybe not in the smoke of a candle. Maybe not even in something like that. Maybe I’ll find it within or behind the actual picture. I don’t know if I make sense to you right now but that’s how I feel right now. I want to see the meaning of things and the value of smiles by looking at it long enough. But, this is the picture I ran into. I hope you like it. Please share your thoughts (on anything) with me in the comments, or talk to me on twitter @uGottaLoveAimee.

I BOUGHT A CAMERA !! I'm so excited! I am always the one behind the camera (on my phone) but now I have a better camera and I can make real beautiful pictures! I didn't just buy this camera to have a camera. I bought it because I saw a video (see below). I knew I wanted to do the same thing and I started planning and within 2 weeks I had bought this camera. I have been taking pictures everyday (except yesterday because I've been really sick). Watch the video and I'll explain what this is already doing to me. Hier klikken om te bewerken.
I ran into this video a few days ago and even though everyone has probably already seen it, this is just a reminder. Prioritize! Please share your weekly special with me on twitter or Instagram @uGottaLoveAimee or post it on my Facebook wall. -> The links to my Facebook/Twitter/Instagram are all in the sidebar. I'm looking forward to seeing what you find special!
A photographer takes photographs of students before and after telling them that they're beautiful. These are the results. I saw this and I couldn't help but smile. I love how all four of them have a different reaction to the same words. I instantly knew that I wanted to share this with you. But then I accidentally clicked on something and I got to another twitter account who had shared the same thing a few days earlier and they had a link in the 'comments'... so of course I went to YouTube and watched the video. The photographer is student herself, Shea Glover. Props to her for this! Seriously! I think this is amazing! But, it was so much more than just a few pictures with 'Hey, you're beautiful.' in between them. Look at this video and we'll talk some more. So yeah, this is much more than that.
I tried to ignore it the first few times but couldn't anymore after 1:40- 2:04. Her reaction hurt me. A lot of these people seem shocked. A few of them looked like it's the first time they've ever heard someone say that about them. Why don't these people know they're beautiful? Because each and every one of them, (and all the others who aren't on film; and everybody else) is beautiful! Please, let me know what you think about this so I can stop talking because it really hurts me to see some, or most of their reactions. Share your thoughts in the comments or send me an email. Or talk to me on Twitter or Instagram @uGottaLoveAimee Smile! You're beautiful! Please let me know what you think in the comments.
