Jen left today for Rwanda. I have thought about her all day. She left a heartfelt and honest post on her blog before she left and posted lovely photos. I am borrowing one for today's Best Shot because I love everything about it.

Even thought I didn't take this photo, I feel like I can borrow it from Jen (since I gave this little gem to her to carry with her on her trip, it feels OK). It's my way of honoring her as she forever changes the lives of everyone she touches in Africa. She is the bravest person I know.
What would you like to honor with your Best Shot today?

I've been following Jen and her mission of love and hope. Amazing.
My BSM is quite shallow in comparison, but I had a fun weekend. :)
Best Shot Monday
that is a great shot. and wow - rwanda. i will keep jen in my thoughts.
my post today is actually catching up on life a bit, with a very messy boy at the end for my best shot
I meant to comment that you are such a dear...the gift of 'courage' to Jen was beautiful.
I'm heading over to Jen's place to see what's happening ... sounds like she's doing amazing things !
My best shot honors the simple beauty of nature.
What a great gift to share with Jen! I actually posted my BSM before yours, so it wasn't chosen with the intention of honoring. However, I don't think it's too off base to say I honor all the risks and challenges of being a child--I think about it daily.
Best Shot Monday: Chalk Girl
Beautiful, what a lovely gift.
I have a few photos from this morning during some precious alone time:
This is the link.
I have been following her story too. Amazing! And what a beautiful gift to honor her.
I have way too many pictures today...sorry!

Yes... a powerful picture. Jen, you're in my thoughts.
Here's mine:
Democracy and the trash
Wow, what an amazing time this is going to be for your friend!
My best shot is honoring my daughter (she actually took the picture!)
What a beautiful shot - and a beautiful thing that she is doing.
BSM: Queen for a Day
What a beautiful picture and sentiment! Things like that can really carry a person through a rough day.
My BSM is really in the honoring category, but on a slightly more whimsical (that is to say useless in the minds of most) sense of the word.
BSM
Don't laugh! This is still one of those things that can get you through a rough time!!! But if it really isn't enough, then scroll down to my Treasure of the Day to honor my 5 year old daughter's artistic abilities!
Very happy to read you posted about Jen and honoring her. What an amazing woman.
My BSM honors the Innocence of Childhood
A great and meaningful shot. A wonderful present.
A Boy and His Cat
What a beautiful tribute. Jen is corageous and inspirational indeed.

What a WONDERFUL gift you gave Jen. I am sure it will help her along the way.

That is an amazing story (and shot) - makes my "whiny" weekend seem quite insignificant, that is for sure!

Awesome. We didn't do anything important last week, but we had fun doing it.
Here is my collection.
What a beautiful gift, and she's sure to have a memorable time. No images of courage here, but just some lovely outdoor nature that we got to enjoy last week.

What a weekend

ok how stupid lol, I meant to say that picture is awesome and what Jen is doing is even greater. Thanks for sharing. Sending prayers her way.
Yes, mine also is quite shallow in comparison, by maybe we can just focus on the shallow DOF!
Lovely lilacs for me today,
MY BSM
AGH! I posted a comment early this morning and it's not here!
What I believe I said originally was that Jen is incredible and what a beautiful gift to give her for her trip.
My best shot isn't half and meaningful as it's all about Getting Wet
Mine is a bit late, I have been so distracted today!
Jen really is amazing. Your post honors her nicely and pays tribute to this adventure in the most perfect way.
I am VERY late this evening. It is 11:15 PM here, and I had such a busy evening that I completely forgot to post! Now I can not seem to find my notes about how to link. (LOL) It's been awhile since life has been so hectic lately...but I am honoring girl power in my post! Girly tomboys all yell, "hurray!"

Goodnight...off to bed. Will check out everyone's shots tomorrow! Thanks for allowing me to play along again.
I saw that photo on Jen's Flickr and thought it was such a thoughtful gift. I love that quote. It is so true...
My BSM is totally frivolous but it was for a good cause (826CHI, a writing tutoring center for kids): Prom for Grownups
I did also take this photo in honor of Jen: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sierraromeo/2507164816/
