The BE Project – In a world where you can be anything…. What will you be?

Meet Leslie – her word for the 2023 BE Project is Loyal.

What word did you choose and why?

Loyal

 This year I chose the word Loyal. I am a loyal person – my family and my friends can tell you that. I’m loyal to my job – my coworkers and supervisors can tell you that. I’m at a point in my life now where I want to be loyal to myself. You can’t pour from an empty cup, so I’ve started saying no and protecting my time, and really focusing on how I can make the most of the time that I have with the ones that I love. I plan to travel more, spend time with my family, and really work to not forget who I am outside of a wife and a mother again, because I’ve been down that road. I don’t have to ever be somebody’s anything except me. Through the changes I’m making in my life and with my work, I really feel like I’m focusing on what I need to now. I will continue to be loyal to myself.

 

 

 

 

What is The BE Project?

Have you ever stopped to think about who or what you want to be?  Most often there is a word that drives you.  If you sit in the silence and really think about what type of person you want to be… there will be a word, sometimes more than one word, that will guide you along and push you to keep being a better version of yourself.  This photo project has become something that has touched my heart and hopefully those that have participated. I chose to shoot all of the images in black and white because I wanted the least amount of distractions.  Just the human and the word.   This project is the stories of some amazing people, their stories, and what these words mean to them.  Some have participated each of the 4 years we have done this, some are new each time.  It’s an amazing honor to follow along in their journey and document who they are becoming.

Want to read more stories from others in our community and their BE words?  Head over to the BE Project Page and read the stories of the amazing humans that have participated. 

I challenge you to find a word that resonates with you.  Who do you want to strive to be?  What word leads you day to day?  Join us in our project – what word will describe who you want to BE?
