I had to laugh as I was typing the title of this post, mostly because I am a sleep deprived fool right now and actually had to check in with myself to confirm that yes, one plus one does, in fact, equal two.
I am typing out this post quickly now that both of my girls have gone to sleep to let you know of a couple of fun giveaways I am involved in.
Shutter Sister Chris Sneddon lovingly put together a truly beautiful and moving video celebrating their One Word Project. I not only contributed to the video, but as a complement to this project am giving away one custom Bella Wish Word-of-the-Year necklace to one lucky winner.
This is the third year I am offering these special pendants and it’s so fun for me to see returning lovelies order their new words, sharing their stories and intentions behind these words and wearing them all year… or as a charm bracelet with all of their words collected as a few are doing.
Visit the Shutter Sisters site to enter, this giveaway ends tomorrow January 25th at midnight so that is why I am typing this quickly!

The second giveaway is for a spot in the wishBIG ecamp which will be held February 19th-26th where I along with amazing souls Connie Hozvicka, Chris Zydel, Amy Palko, Miranda Hersey, Jenna McGuiggan, Rachel Awes, and Wish Studio founder and creator Mindy Tsonas will be leading a soulful journey into heart and art.
I love Mindy’s model for creating a co-op payment option which makes this camp (and any other Wish Studio offerings) free for members.
Your week at ecamp will include:
- 8 (2 hour) online creative living workshops from a host of fabulously inspiring Camp Counselors, each bringing their own special talent and insight to help you wishBIG, createBIG and liveBIG!
- daily ecamp mail! Inspiration Postcards (sent via email) created especially for YOU by our talented teachers for a little extra creative spark, each day of camp.
- evening campfire gatherings designed specially for the group and the work at hand! these fun and inspirational nightly gatherings are created from what comes up specifically for us as a group… i tune into the thoughts and activity of each day and thoughtfully carve out space for a relevant community discussion. these tend to be intimate, powerful and wonderfully connective whether you sit in the circle quietly or dive deeply into the conversation.
- supportive kindred community with our own private group for sharing thoughts and work throughout your camp experience, as well as individual support and cheering from each of our ecamp Counselors within their workshop and beyond.
- an easy, go-at-your-own-pace format that allows you to work through the workshops in a way that best meets your needs. all classes will be available online for one month, and are self paced.
My workshop, 100 Steps Photowalk – A Journey Into Seeing, is one that is very close to my heart and I am so excited to be offering the online version to wishBIG ecampers. It is based on the 100 steps photowalk exercise that I wrote about here and here and has since become a tool I use to awaken to the quiet beauty in my ordinary moments or when I am struggling to see the beauty surrounding me, (i.e. in a Costco parking lot for example). I’ve been starting to lead small photo walk groups offline and am over the moon excited to share more about these soon.
To enter to win a space at ecamp simply leave a comment here telling me one of your biggest wishes. I will be accepting comments until January 31st and will announce the winner on February 1st. Good luck and wish big!
One of my biggest wishes is to go to Hawaii with my boys-who both love volcanos
my wish for this year is to write my book and get it published.
My biggest wish right now is to find the strength to live my word of the year: fearless.
It’s funny – wishing is a “muscle” that I’ve been feeling the need to exercise more. I can be so focused on my two boys that my own wishes are often by the wayside. I’ve been wishing for a light to my creative path this year – illumination for the steps to take (even if it’s just the very next step…).
My wish…..a family of my own…. A loving partner who is wise, generous, supportive, goofy and loves me as I am. A sweet little baby to shower with love and affection…. Thank you for this generous give a way! Xoxoxo
feeling stagnant and wishing for change & transformation…
My biggest wish is to settle in, feel at peace, and trust that I am on the right path.
My biggest (personal) wish in life is the ability to live from my creative energy. I wish I could be an creative therapist 7/7, help people with art and do this kind of stuff as my day job. I wish I could help people every time I want too, and not only in the evening or in the weekends when I come home from another job. I can not chose between art and helping people so that’s why I decided to combine them: creative therapy. And I’m already coaching people with online projects but I wish to do more..not only national but also international. Not only online but also in real life. Not only in my own language (Dutch) but also in other languages (English etc) Not only in my spare time but also as a day job. Ah well, you know what I mean. I want the big creative dream and I hope I can reach it some day.
It would be an honor to join you in the ecamp, thank you for this opportunity!
Much love,
Lindsay
My wish for this year is to be more productive and proactive in my art…i tend to let ideas float around in my head and think them to death before I act on anything. When I finally fight through my procrastination, I’m blocked! So more action more doing more art, less fear.
My wish for this year is to find courage to open myself more to connection – to reveal more of my true self and trust that it will be received gently and with love. SO grateful for the opportunity!
aaaaah stacy … my biggest wishes are….
to gracefully enter the world of being 40 (which is right around the corner),
to continue to get to know me…the real me…the unmasked me…the “stripped down, shouting from the rooftops “i am me” me,
to continue on my soul journey … i feel i am just scratching the surface and it feels pretty great,
to gather with other soul sisters in a circle around a beautiful fire on a sandy beach somewhere,
to put my artwork out there … to let go of all that fear that is holding me back,
to continue to grow every single day and be the best mama i can be to my littles.
(i am sure there’s more where all of this came from)
thank you for this giveaway.

I want to wishBIG. I want to come out of my small scared world and truly BE me.
One of my biggest wishes is to move to rural New England with my husband and furbabies, buy an old house we can fix up and make our own, have enough land for farm animals and a garden for my rabbits, and a big sunny studio for painting
Mmmm yes!!
My wish is to continue to find ways to serve. I find that I’m happiest when I am giving to things I feel passionately about. The beautiful part of this is that the more you give, the more you get to keep for yourself. I grow, I learn new things about myself and I’m able to help people who need exactly what I have to give. So yeah, my wish is to continue to follow my TRUE NORTH (my word(s) for 2012) and allow space for meaningful opportunities where I can give back to find me.
My wish is for a year filled with more creating outside the box and some amazing time with my grandchildren.
Great give-away! My wish to to live up to my word for the year which is Action…I have some health issues and I promised myself that I would take active steps towards wellness! Just found you through Vivienne McMaster!
Oh how I wish to be strong again… ♥
My biggest wish is to pull my kids out of school and travel the world for a year (or two). You said big, right?!!
One of my BIGGEST WILDEST WISHES is to visit the Quan Yin Temple on the island of Penang!!
The Wish Big E-Camp sounds amazing & in keeping with my word for 2012 which is Flourish
Blessings-
Angela Lee
One of my biggest wishes right now is to find a way to fulfill my creative dreams while still nurturing my baby girl with all of my being. I want my plans and projects to enrich our family, not detract from it in any way. This seems to be a delicate balancing act that I haven’t figured out yet, but sure hope to!
