Inspirational Photos
and Quotes
(#126-150)
These are inspirational photos and quotes from calendars
featuring Sister Who. In each case, the intention was to
create an image and a caption which one could ponder for
an entire month and potentially find insight and inspiration
from the first day of the month all the way to the
last–consequently, many of the captions include
metaphorical possibilities which are applicable to a wide
range of circumstances and situations. They are included
within this website in the hope that they may yet be
empowering and helpful, far beyond their initial creation and
purpose. Click on the small photo to see an enlarged copy
of it.
