2026 CFFC: The Three W’s of Growing

Where, What, When
We Grow our Minds
We Grow our Bodies
We Grow our Relationships

Dan with No Facilities, the host of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is continuing with the theme of Where/What/When we do various things. This is the last week for this series. Next week Dan will begin a new theme series focusing on Street Views. I’m expanding on the theme of Where, What, When We Grow, I attempting to show Where We Grow our Minds, Bodies/Souls, and Relationships.

“A growth mindset is about believing people can develop their abilities. It’s that simple.”

~ Carol Dweck

Where/What/When We Grow our Minds … by never stop learning, reading, listening at schools, libraries, and museums.

Growing our Minds

“To strengthen the body’s muscles, exercise; the mind’s muscles, read; the heart’s muscle’s, laugh; and the soul’s muscles, love.”

~ Matshona Dhliwayo

Where/What/When We Grow our Bodies … by staying active, participating in activities that keep our bodies moving while not forgetting to always get of proper rest and nutrition. Our Souls by embracing intentional habits of self-awareness, quiet reflection, spiritual connection, and compassionate living.

Growing our Bodies/Souls

“No one can live without relationship. You may withdraw into the mountains, become a monk, a sannyasi, wander off into the desert by yourself, but you are related. You cannot escape from that absolute fact. You cannot exist in isolation.”

~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

Where/What/When We Grow our Relationships … by making an effort to share honest and open communication, spending quality time together free from distractions, support individual growth, practice gratitude, keep a sense of humor, and absolutely navigate conflict constructively with understanding and apologizing whenever necessary.

When We Listen

We may enjoy listening to plays or other theatrical performances or we may just sit and listen to one another. We are all unique individuals with our own unique expectations or individual conceptions of what we prefer to listen to, where we prefer to listen, and when we prefer to listen.

I have gathered a few images of What/Where/When I’ve Listened to various music, plays, and/or performances that suited by desires and interests at one time or another.
