The Bloom Collective | Simple II

“How many undervalue the power of simplicity! But it is the real key to the heart.”
-William Wordsworth

When I first heard about this lovely collaboration I eagerly jumped in with both feet at the chance to participate. However, when it came time to submit our first image I was frozen with fear. Fear that I was not good enough. I agonized over my imperfect image and the words I would send in as the intro. I even thought about backing out of the project all together. I started scheming ways to get out…maybe I could just say I was going to be too busy. Then, as the days passed I realized how silly I was being. For me, this collaboration is simply an opportunity to stretch my creativity, be inspired by others, learn new skills and have fun along the way.
