Claudia Bear in Torrance, California is creating The Daily Tree...
Why did you decide to do this project? I got your book a few weeks ago based on a recommendation from my daughter's teacher. As soon as I started looking through the book, I had so many ideas in my head, I knew I had to start a project right away. I chose the tree theme because I love drawing, painting and photographing trees. There's something about the branching shape of a tree that intrigues me.
How has doing a yearlong/daily project affected your life? I'm only on day 12 of my project, but I'm trying very hard to make this a true, DAILY project. I'm usually such a planner, that my natural tendency would be to make a bunch of projects ahead of time and then stay ahead of schedule for the whole year. My daughter even asked me "Mom, are you going to make some extras ahead of time, in case you get sick or something?"
Well, sure enough, I ended up getting sick during the very first week of my project, but I still stuck to my daily schedule. For some people, the discipline of a 365 project might be to avoid "falling behind." In my case, it's a different kind of discipline - learning to hold back and to wait a day to complete a project!
