I'm a mom, a newlywed, and a photographer in the Bluegrass. This is my one year challenge to live life with more romance and adventure. More →
Hands down our favorite Bluegrass Romance Project Mini-Mission was No.8: Participate in the Art at 21C Museum Hotel. So grateful we got to make these memories at this one-of-a-kind Louisville hotel before we left the bluegrass. Take a look at the video below to catch a summary of our shenanigans. (Note: This mini-mission could have [...]
Here is a funny thing about adventures– when you sign on to them with your whole heart, they take on a life of their own, leading you places you never dreamed to go. When I got the idea for the Bluegrass Romance project, I was at a place in my life where I desperately needed [...]
There once was a lady named Bright Who traveled much faster than light. She set off one day, in a relative way, and returned on the previous night. Thanks to an email from a reader and a bit of reflection, I’ve decided to take a brief summer intermission from blogging. Perhaps I’ll use the extra [...]
Call me crazy, but I’ve started another project. Today I launched a new blog that is all about falling in love with life. The Bluegrass Romance project is what inspired it. The experience of seeking out romance and adventure weekly has sparked in me a desire to share with others how they can do it [...]
This is week 13 of the Bluegrass Romance project and no mini-missions were performed this week. This pause is on purpose. A quarter of the year has already passed by and we have not even asked ourselves: what is romance and adventure, anyway? So gun-ho about the challenge of weekly mini-missions I just dove in. [...]
The official beginning of The Bluegrass Romance Project is two days away. I’m getting nervous. Can performing weekly mini-missions actually bring more adventure and romance to a family’s life? (Or just more stress?) Will the family be able to stay committed to the weekly mini-missions for a whole year? How the weekly exercise of “chance“ [...]
The Romance and Adventure begins January 1, 2010! In the meantime, connect with me on Facebook and Twitter and read more about the project here and here. Before you go, please leave me some of your ideas for mini-missions. One more thing…let’s all raise a glass and toast: here is to not living 2010 a rut… Here is [...]
The night of Novemeber’s full moon, I could not sleep. The idea for the Bluegrass Romance Project came to me in a flash and then I spent the rest of the night day-dreaming of the 52 mini-missions I might complete over the course of the next year. In the morning light, I scribbled down what I could remember [...]
The Bluegrass Romance Project is a year-long challenge to complete 52 mini-missions in and around the Bluegrass. Some mini-missions are chosen at random, out of a hat. The one’s that require a little more planning (like reserving tickets to Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour) are scheduled a few weeks in advanced. The mini-missions run the gamut [...]
The Bluegrass Romance project is about 52 mini-missions. What is a mission and why is it called mini? So glad you asked! Missions can be religious, diplomatic, or personal in nature. Bluegrass Romance missions are the personal kind. One way Webster’s dictionary defines missions is this: a specific task with which a person is charged; a preestablished and often self-imposed [...]
