Infusing Our Thirst During "A Woman's Thirst" - An Instagram Project

If you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed my recent involvement in #AWomansThirst project. It is a 40 day adventure of picture prompts created by the lovely Hannah Marcotti. Everyday, early in the morning, we are sent our next adventure via email. It's thrilling to receive each one because you never know what kind of adventure the prompt will take you on. That's one of the alluring things about this project, you never know what you'll have to do, where you'll have to go, and how you will have to express yourself through photos. It's a brilliant project, one that definitely keeps your creative juices flowing. Also, to know that I'm not alone, on a hunt to quench my thirst with a group of women doing the same, however that may look and feel, satisfies a deeper longing of connection for me. 

We are currently on day #11 so you haven't missed much. If you have an instagram account and are looking for some creative ways to share pictures or maybe you're creative flow is fine but you just want to be a part of an amazing group of women doing something amazing for ourselves, join us. We would love to have you. 

Prompted to "infuse my thirst" on day 7, we were to grab a marker and infuse our water with a word that would be our mantra, our source of light. The purpose is to think on your word every time you drink, creating a silent mediation around that word, embodying that word. I chose the word sensuous to lead my way during my day and I got my kids involved as well. After some thought they came up with their words which I decided to share with you. Some of the jars were filled with cucumber, lime, lemon, and mint and to top it off our words. Oh the yumminess! 

David's word...

Victoria's word...

Gabrielle's word...

Joshua's word...

Lesson learned: what you think on you create for yourself. You are in control.

  

Give it a try and see how you feel. Notice what thoughts you are creating in your day. You don't have to use a mason jar. Write your word in a notebook, notepad, journal, on a coffee mug, on a sticky note, on the home screen of your phone. Write it anywhere you will be reminded to think on your word when you see it. 

And then, tell me how it made you feel.
