Hi Akshita,
You have been awarded a “Liebster Award” by me! Not sure if you have heard of it 🙂 but this is awarded to my top 10 favorite blogs. As with all good things, this award also comes with its own set of terms and conditions ( which are rather easy to follow). Please do read the details at http://thembastory.com/2013/09/07/omg-its-the-liebster-award/.
Would love to read your answers to my 10 questions.

Hi Akshita!
I love so many things about you and your blog is so put together, your such an inspiration. As a fellow feminist, I’m emailing you to let you know my blogging friend, Annmarie, and I are launching a challenge in hopes that many people join along. I started up my small photo biz called Painted Eye Photography a few years back and have been really hesitant to jump right in because fully submerging myself, and taking this gamble with my career has scared me. Annmarie’s passion started as a hobby and now she’s working in the direction of starting her own business up as well. So while collaboration and helping each other out with blogging, photography, and business practice we have started a very unique friendship.
Combing part of out business names together, “Swiftly Painted” was born! I have always been really interested in self-portrait photography, since my “365 days” self-portrait series, taken over the course at my senior year in college. Annmarie had a new found desire to tackle this after my monthly challenge this past month called “ Annette in August.” We decided to create a new challenge called “ The #SwiftlyPainted Self-Portrait Challenge.” This will entail a series of 13 self-portraits, taken every first of the month, for one year. There will also be a writing prompt included in every month’s description.
We’re hoping that with this will get people on board with self-exploration, commitment, blogging regularly, and meeting more bloggers like us. So we want to extend the invite to you and ask you to embark on this blogging journey with us. We also wouldn’t mind if you spread the word to all your fellow blogger friends that you think might be interested, and or maybe even a shout out in your blog with a link to ours! We can’t wait to you !
Best always, xo

Discord or calm
Are we in the land of discord or calm?
What are the creatures behind my palm?
what are the eyes in the wall?
Tell me the reason for the fall.
What is the congregation of voices saying?
What foundation are the hands laying?
What is the opposite of woeful pride?
What is on the other side?

These chaos do not mean a lack of calm.
Our hands may hold a healing balm.
Our conscience looks on from the wall.
Rising is signaled by the fall.
The voices tell us to stop and see;
Not only do, but simply be.
