THE GRANDMOTHERS::2020

Thank you for sharing the heart-warming stories and beautiful photographs of your grandmothers this year. I don't know what the year would have been for me if not for this project. As always, I have learned a few things:

• There is much to be said for simplicity...this year has definitely been a testament to that. 
• I've learned so much about these women and the people who shared them with me and see something of your grandmothers in each of you.
• People are so resilient, it doesn't cease to amaze me.
• I have been reminded of the necessity to look for joy in the smallest things.
• There is great importance in asking for help when you need it, the ability to be vulnerable...sometimes just a kind word or a walk with a friend can make a huge difference.
• Daily gratitude for the little things is so important.
• This year has been the year of looking around me, to make do and mend or to go without - it's been a good lesson.

Thank you so much for trusting me with these amazing women. I hope you all have a wonderful new year.
