We are entering the Steemit Photo Challenge #45, theme: CELEBRATIONS!

Congrats on turning 1, SPC!!!!

Check out the new steemitphotochallenge.com website -- way to go @blueorgy & @jamtaylor for bringing a whole year's worth of great photography together in one place! It's got this great countdown timer on the side too, so we can tell our post is gonna make it in just before the deadline!

Thank you to @jamtaylor & @berniesanders for hosting & sponsoring the SPC for a year now! It's a great way to engage the Steemit community every week, and it's a super fun way to share stories through pictures.

While we celebrate life every day in our ecovillage, today was extra special for one of the children--it's her birthday too!! The girls enjoyed a classic tea party and a day at the splash pad and some of their other favorite things. Here's a little gallery of the joyful life:

May our entries to the SPC #45 bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart!

In truth, these children can do whatever they want every day. While it is fun to come together to observe milestones or holidays in life, it's even more amazing that they live the truth that we can be happy and free and present in love every single day!
