Pieces Of Us | Laura Wonsik
A few weeks ago, Ali invited all of us to join her in community creative adventure: Pieces of Us. The main goals of this self-portrait project were to get ourselves into our stories (literally) and to play + experiment + practice loving ourselves and developing our own photo voice.
One of the coolest things that came out of this project was the variety of different ways that people documented their stories. Some people made layouts, some used travelers notebooks, some used albums, etc. I loved seeing the variety!
Several of our Creative Team members joined in this community adventure and we'll be sharing those with you this week.
Today we are delighted to share Laura Wonsik's approach to documenting her photos and stories from the day.
We love seeing how you are creating with these photos and stories! So please keeping sharing your projects using the #aepiecesofus hashtag. And as always, thank you for being part of this amazing, wholehearted community of storytellers.

Progress Story Kit™ + May 2020 Stories By The Month™
In the
Story Classroom this month we are focusing on stories related to the theme of Progress.
Here are a few thoughts about this particular theme:
Progress is all about forward movement. Sometimes it's giant leaps but most of the time it's one little step after another. This month we are investigating and documenting stories of progress in our lives.
Initial story ideas for this theme include:
If you are alive and breathing right now you are a work in progress. Document your own "in progress" list for right now. What is your own story with perfectionism? Tell me a story about that. Think back over the last year and identify an area in your life in which you have made progress. Maybe it was something really small or something really big. STORY KIT™
The
Story Kit™ includes:
Here's a video overview of the
