Being and becoming

“Life is about Being & Becoming.” ~ Carl Rogers

This weekend is the last Sinful Sunday. It is time to bid that project, which I started 14 years ago, farewell. I have been thinking about it for a couple of months now, trying to work out what I wanted to do. I don’t know what shifted, mostly the Online Safety Bill nonsense but also more than that, it just started to feel like something I had to do rather than I wanted to do and that is a fast train to resentment in my experience. I have written more about how I feel about Sinful Sunday on this weeks link in page so check that out if you have not read it but here I want to write about here.

Some people have asked me if the end of Sinful Sunday also means the end of Molly’s Daily Kiss and the answer to that is no, it does not. I plan to keep on blogging, but how much or when, that I am not sure. At the moment I actually feel quite optimistic about this space. From this point on the only reason to post anything is because I want to, that feels liberating and oddly exciting. I feel like I am free to just work out what comes next. Becoming who I am tomorrow and the next

I have also thought about starting a fresh space. bringing elements of this site into something new which maybe reflects me more how I am now, and also would not be hidden to those in the UK who might want to look at it. That though also feels quite exciting. If I do that I will definitely post here about it so you will know where to find me but for now, more only plan is to stay put here and see what becomes.

I spent a long time trying to decide which image to post this week. Something outdoors seemed fitting as that is where I feel like I truly created art. I had a few options to pick from but in the end there could be only one. Over the years so many people have told me that when they see bluebells they think of me. Here is one more reason to do so.

This is such a gorgeous image Molly, and so perfect - I feel like your photos where you're naked and free in nature are what I associate most with Sinful Sunday. Thank you for running the project - it brought so much joy and beauty to the world, and I am so grateful to you, and the contributors, for showing us what 'sexy' looks like <3

You are the Queen of outdoor photography and I do think of your photos when I see bluebells. Of course this photo is stunning. I'm excited to follow you to what's next in this space or a new space. Thank you for everything!

Such a beautiful most quintessentially Molly photo: outdoors, surrounded by flowers and trees, looking forward and facing the future head on. I already miss you and the old blogging community but I'm so excited to see where you go next. And I'm looking forward to following you there. <3

Molly! I left my comment on your post to the very end of my Sunday night commenting feat. And now I feel emotional. When I finished my own blog it wasn’t quite over because I knew I could always guest post with you or at other people’s places. But now this really is the end. What an absolutely game-changing life-changing thing you created here. You changed people’s personal narratives on their own bodies and lives and as a community we were greater than the sum of our parts. Thank you for everything you did for us all in creating this wonderful this. Your legacy is strong. Xxxx PS. This photo is epic but the dog is the star!

I really should proofread my comment. Commenting fest not feat and wonderful meme not wonderful this!

Love this! I hope you continue blogging here (or elsewhere and let us know where!) I'm often behind on blogs, but I subscribe to yours so I never miss a post! Do what's best for you, mind, body, and soul!

Bluebells are just so you, what a perfect way to end this meme. I have no idea what to do, what I can’t do is let the scavenger hunt go so maybe I’ll just keep my space for that.

Since I disappeared I always pop in every now and then to see your posts, lurking in the shadows in awe of your work, always. To spot this is the last SinfulSunday I had to comment. I will be forever grateful to you and to the sinfulsunday community. I’m not sure you realise how much you helped me but I love the skin I’m in because of your project. You helped me realise how beautiful people are regardless of how we look on the outside and you made me love the person I am on the outside. Your monthly themes pushed me far beyond my creative circles and made me think of how the little things can crate the biggest impact in photography. I grew so much because of you. You changed everything for me in so many ways and while I no longer blog, I still photograph and you are a big part of reason I do. I also adore you picked bluebells because I always think of you when I see them. Stay well my friend ❤️
