Q
hey why don't u start a website of the selfportrait challenge? (outside of tumblr) u could arrange all themes so that people could watch all the submissions of that particular theme. (Archive of different themes) I think that would really be awesome. :)
A

I would love to do something like that, however, I don’t really know how to set it up. I can work with stock website programs like tumblr or wordpress, but don’t know enough about coding to be able to set up something really cool that functions according to the unique specifications of a Self Portrait Challenge website. I don’t really have the time either.

If someone knows their sh*t about making websites work smoothly and  effectively for a project like this and would be willing to put it together and help manage it, then send me a message and we can talk it out.

Satisfaction

SATISFACTION IS HAPPINESS
Life full of have nots,
you can`t look,
for your parts happiness,
there is black stip of illusion,
on your eyes,
the mind strays
here and there like a dear,
don`t envy the grandeur,
don`t look at the palace,
your hardships will increase,
your life will become a hell,
enjoy in your haves,
satisfaction is happiness

~ Dr. Ram Sharma

Sugar

“Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”
~ Mary Poppins

Literally, sugar is the sparkling granulated substance that you put on food to sweeten it, a vital component of candies and cakes and chocolates.

“Discretion is the salt, and fancy the sugar of life; the one preserves, the other sweetens it. —”
~ John Christian Bovee

Figuratively, sugar and sweetness symbolize the good things in life, the fluffy thrills of each day, or it represents the sweetness in a person, an indescribable cheerfullness or a delightful smiles.

This month, share a little sugar and sweetness with us. Display what joys make your day to day life delightful. Reveal your sweet side. Or simply inform us of what your favorite dessert is.

I know I’ve been terrible this month and have not posted a theme.

So we’re going to stick with “Spring” as our theme for theme for this month. So if you would like to submit a self portrait for that theme, please do so. 

Also do you have any suggestions for what our upcoming themes should be?
