Notice how the pink house stands out in this picture? It's not a great photo technically; I needed a telephoto lens to properly capture this scene. The reason I snapped this image was the pink house. In a tiny little village on Bani Hamida Mountain in Jordan, someone dared to defy the status quo and paint their house carnation pink.
This weekend, do something different. Shake up your routine. Go somewhere you've never been. Try a new recipe or an unfamiliar restaurant. Smile at a stranger. Surprise someone with a special treat. Be adventurous. Just remember, whatever you do is up to you!
You be you, as my wise friend Jen Lemen says. And have fun!
I think we all have pictures of that pink house, it was striking and brave. Thank you for inspiring me to come to Jordan, turns out it was the beginning of a whole new chapter for me.

Yes, thanks for the reminder to dare to be different. Love the pink house in amongst the neutral colors.

Wonderful post, per usual, Tara. While not a big fan of the color pink, it really rocks this photo!
