An Illuminating October

By

Yep. The word for the October One Word Project is illuminate. Isn’t that a great word? For me it conjures up beauty, light, hope, inspiration and so much more. 

So how did we come up with illuminate? Truth be told, we are so utterly smitten by our One Word Project partners Kirtsy that they were the inspiration for the word.

I mean, did you know that the fine editors at Kirtsy shed light on all things bright and beautiful on the web for women every day, all day? It’s true. If you know Kirtsy then you already know what we’re taking about but if you don’t, just go check out the site! You’ll never want to leave.

And did you know that they are hosting 100 FREE small business/social media classes around the country in the next few months to enlighten women just like us? I will be teaching a few in So Cal if you’d care to attend! I’d love that! 

And last but not least did you know they’ve got a Kirtsy book coming out (Kirtsy Takes a Bow: A Celebration of Women’s Online Favorites that will not only be adorned with a number of images from the Shutter Sisters but will also be featuring almost a hundred other women of the web?

I know! Now it makes sense right? Illuminate is the perfect word!

Plus we love jack-o-lantern season.

So, sisters, show us that lovely light, that inspiration, that glow that only you all can capture and add your photos to our OWP Flickr pool. Check back daily for the featured photo…it just could be you.

Shine on!

  17. Your photo is amazing and I love the word for October!

    I don’t have a photo to include in this comment, I just wanted to say that I wish I was able to attend one of the Southern CA classes. Most of those are going on at the same time when I’ll be in Vegas for Blog World.
