This is a place where we use the Vine app for smartphones to showcase our Once Upon a Time fandom in a new way.

What is Vine? Vine is a mobile app owned by Twitter that enables its users to create and post short looping video clips. Read more here

1. First challenge, use the Vine app to record “Once Upon a Time” around you (out of the house) and use the hashtag #OUATAroundU when you post on Vine (so it also goes to Twitter) so we can find them. We will post some here. Have fun, be creative, and most of all let your Oncer fandom fly! Here is an example of my recent visit to Target:

OUAT Themes and Meanings – 2. Leap of Faith

leap-of-faith-3

Take a Leap of Faith:

Sometimes, even in the absence of proof or logic, we have to take a leap of faith. Emma took this to the literal sense, by jumping off the Jolly Roger to get the gang to stop fighting and work together. And Charming believed in his love for Snow so much, that he risked his life (and the vengeance of King George) and left Abigail. We should always be willing to take a chance, trust in others, or in ourselves – even when everything tells us not to.

What about you? How has taking a leap of faith been important to you in your life?
