Yes, the rumors are true, tomorrow is my birthday. Gulp, I have to admit, I kinda didn’t want it to come. ANOTHER YEAR OLDER…AGAIN? But, when I think about the past year, I am amazed at how far I’ve come. It certainly has been the good and bad, and yet I have grown heaps. I breathe a little deeper, love a little stronger, and try not to take the people I love for granted, because really, things can change on a dime. I’ve learned that with age comes difficult times, pain, and struggle. And life will constantly throw curve balls at you just to see if you can handle it. I GET it life, enough with the curve balls.
I’ve learned that you have to work endlessly hard for something you are passionate about. I would have never in my wildest dreams, imagined that I’d be sitting here today with my own thriving photography business. Me. My Business. Wake up in the morning when I want, business. It’s amazing and I feel so blessed to be able to do something I absolutely love and share it with so many people. It’s such hard work, but the kind comments and emails from people who appreciate my work, warm my heart and push me along when I feel like giving up.
I’ve learned that family is the most important thing in the world to me. I knew it before, but I think this past year something changed, they are the core of my soul. In times of need they have never once let me down and without them I couldn’t have gotten this far in life. Without them, I truly would be lost. They know me inside and out, and still love me despite the obnoxious singing, always wanting to go to Outback, and the won’t get the camera out of their faces tendencies I have.
I’m super excited to see what the future holds for me, sigh, even if that means another year older. In honor of my birthday, I thought I’d share some of my favorite things that I love…things that make me, me. YES MY VACUUM MAKES ME HAPPY.
