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

Meet Vicki– her word for the 2023 BE Project is Confident

What word did you choose and why?

Confident

There was a verse in Psalm 27: 13-14 that I read one morning about being confident and strong. That is me. I am confident and I am strong.

Blog: I kept coming up with the word proud when I started thinking about my word. When I think of proud, I think of the word pride – and I don’t want to be prideful. So then I started thinking confident. That is what I have gained over these last five years.

I used to always criticize myself and tell myself that I wasn’t perfect. I finally realized that I don’t have to be perfect. Whether it’s my relationship, being a mom or at my job – it’s just about being confident in the knowledge that I am doing the best I can and you are the best you are.

There was a verse in Psalm 27: 13-14 that I read one morning about being confident and strong. That is me. I am confident and I am strong. So now I know, I can do this, I’ve got this. It’s become my daily reminder now. Be confident – you’ve got this girl!

If you could talk to Vicki a year ago, what would you tell her?

Be patient. I wanted to be adventurous, I wanted to go do big things – but then my partner hurt his knee and there were not a lot of adventures. I was sad about that but now I realize that it all happened for a reason. Be patient – good things come, It gets better.

 

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?
