Photography challenges on Steemit are some of my favorite initiatives.
I love that we have the opportunity to share some of our passions,
and do it together with others who have common interests.
LIGHT is the theme for SmartPhonePhotography today,
and I'm combining it with my SaturdayIndigo entry in support of both initiatives simultaneously.
"STANDING IN OUR DARKNESS, TO SHINE OUR LIGHT"
We are continuously questioning life,
living on the edge,
choosing to look at ourselves and how we engage life everyday.This is @saramiller and me in the @gardenofeden.
It isn't always an easy and joyous journey,
as looking into the depths of one's soul can be very frightening.
Ohhhhh...what darkness lurks in there!
But, it is highly rewarding in the long run,
as we move through dysfunctional behaviours,
become more honest with ourselves--and hence with others.
We release fears, non-beneficial ideas we've adopted from others,
and are rewriting the script on our own terms.
Facing our ourselves makes us better people,
more open to love,
and more open to be loved.
to continually challenge my light to shine brigher.
The sunshine has broken the dreary, cold freezing temps.
Perhaps it's a sign we are also making more cheery breakthroughs.
Those moments are always an incredible blessing. I'm grateful for another day in the @gardenofeden,

"It isn't always an easy and joyous journey,

Ohhhhh...what darkness lurks in there!"
For sure! It can be rather scary in there but when you look deep enough you can find the little cracks to bust the light through!
I love your picture, very interesting! Great post! :)
That's why we keep at it! Even in the darkest of times, there is always a silver lining.
Thanks for taking the time to comment @smylie2005.
Always a silver lining if you search deep enough! My husband cant help to laugh at me when hes having a terrible day because I will ALWAYS find something good in what happened. Lifes to short to let things pull you down. Be upset for a minute and then get over it, the more you let a problem plague you the worse it will seem! I enjoy reading your posts alot, I get you! :)
And I enjoyed reading your comments a lot @smylie2005. It sounds like you have found the key to many a situation. Indeed, why let life pull you down! I'm grateful to share perspective with you...thanks for being here.
Thanks for having me! :)
I really like your blogs and this post is pretty impresive! Like the connection from photography to art! :)
Everything is connected...sometimes it's just hard to see. I appreciate your appreciation @rabbi18.
I commend your post. Your poetic capability is second to none, and your photographs are awesome.
I appreciate your appreciation @comrade.
Those who shine LIGHT on the path for others cannot keep it from themselves. You help others to help yourself. Shine the light. Pass the torch.
There's nothing to do but pay it forward! Let's let the light shine!! <3
Now, that's the spirit i am talking about. Yess! 💪

Photography is one of my passions. I love how it overflows into my purpose. Glad you like the capture--I thought it fitting. So grateful to share it with you.
Nice post...
Please upvote my post...
Bring me something of value to upvote @rinaldi. Simply asking for votes is considered rude on this platform.
Can I follow a challenge like you @everlove
Yes @onegood. You can do any of these challenges, any day your photos correlate with the theme. It's fun! I hope you join in.
I will definitely join, but I am afraid of the wrong rule because I have never followed it before
Don't worry, even if you break the rules, you can share your passion with people who support the arts. Ii'd love to see what you have to share @onegood.
I've tried it
I can not force if you are willing
Try to see maybe you like it and give your opinion @everlove
Good nice my friends
We are always taking our original photos but they are not worthy.
Photography is an art. I often feel the love we have for what we are shooting shines through in our expression. Keep at it--practice really does help fine tune the experience.
very nice
Good post @everlove

Thanks,happy SundayThanks for all the good works dear @everlove. Can i be using #gardenofeden for my posts?
Greetings @emmakwisequote. I'm not sure what you mean by using #gardenofeden for your posts. The @gardenofeden is a sustainable eco-village/conscious community in Texas. We have an account here on Steemit where we share many of the enjoyable realities here.
I am not on discord. I can be reached through Steemit Chat, however.
Happy EVERything to you!!
Thanks for your reply.. I thought gardenofeden was a tag. I have been trying to register for steemit chat,but my account has not been confirmed. I will contact you immediately it is confirmed.
Great. I'll likely be there @emmakwisequote.

We are definitely doing the work here @etilda. This is not an adventure for sissies!!! It takes a LOT of introspection and accepting of responsibility for one's own existence. I hope you too will get the opportunity to find this level of fulfillment.
I appreciate your comment and I'm grateful to inspire you. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
sure. so grateful to steemit to accord me such opportunity to liaise with great minds like you. so much excitement especially today that i did my first ever vlog on ezeama waterfall. nature personified. thanks for inspiring me once more. regards to all in Eden
There is so much to appreciate!!! Steemit really is providing us opportunity to connect on so many levels. Thanks for being here @etilda.
