It’s all personal
I'm Kim and I have a few blogs (and perhaps an issue with over sharing, and too much time on my hands). My other two projects are www.fiftyfiftyvision.com and www.thisisplanbe.com. I also tweet at https://twitter.com/TheKimTackett and instagram at http://instagram.com/kimtackett. But here, it's all personal. I show up once a week, sometimes less, never more. I don't have a niche or a purpose or a plan. Just a few stories and pictures. Welcome to my personal space.I write about stuff

project 365 | 2013, or learning the art of compromise
I just posted photo 50 of this year’s Project 365. I took it at my desk yesterday. It’s a perfect illustration of why this project is so ridiculous and also so essential for me. I took 210 photos to get … Continue reading
work in progress
Staying home today, hanging out with my cold and trying not to talk (which isn’t so hard, since I’m alone). I had intended to post all of my January 365 photos, but the truth is, you can just click here … Continue reading

snowflakes three ways
While we were at the beach house, my sister-in-law, Sue, my mother-in-law, Adeline, and I made 26 snowflakes for Sandy Hook. Sue has mad snowflake making skills, the by product of being a teacher for 30 years. After several sad … Continue reading
