Inspiration
So, I haven’t blogged in ah, forever. As usual I’m not sure where this will go, b/c I’m feeling kind of goofy today. So let’s see, I know I never blogged about Help-Portrait, which was really pretty great. We provided portraits for 70 families. I met an amazing group of volunteers, from all walks of photography, and life. Friends and family came out to make the day happen. It was pretty great. Next year should be really great too. More sites, and volunteers, more families. We now have validity to the cause, and that will surely bring us more families to serve. We’re planning two weekends next year as well. We’d love to have you!
Volunteering has lead me to some of the most amazing people, and some really great friends. It’s funny how it all works out like that, or how God works it out. I love it when people are put in my path, and I can actually see why. You know sometimes, you meet people and you have no idea why they are in your life?? In any event, I have in the past year or so met the most amazing people. I have decided to be a part of the community instead of just walking through it. I have started to surround myself with people who enjoy the same things that I do, and are inspired by similar things. I’m learning to view life in a different way than before. Currently I’m looking at rolling clouds on a blue sky, and that’s pretty great. I find the sky to be totally inspiring. I guess you could say I’m in the middle of a growth spurt. You never know what will trigger these, but if you keep your mind open it’s pretty amazing. The power of positive thinking should never be underestimated. I’ve been in kind of a negative mood the past few weeks, but no more! I now have recognized that, and am doooonnnneeee with it! So there! haha. Again, I never do know where these blog posts will go. Just show’s you all how truly nuts I am. I’m currently on the hunt for inspiration and creativity. The funny thing is this all started with a pair of shoes (which is ironic b/c I was never REALLY a shoe person) over the summer. I guess you never know what will inspire you and set you on a new path. :-) All of the images below are part of this hunt. As with any type of art form or creative field, someone will love these, and someone will hate them. What I’ve decided is it, doesn’t matter. Only what I think of them. The same is true for any photographer, artist, stylist, designer. Stay true to yourself and you can’t go wrong.
I hope anyone reading this can find inspiration and joy in life today. It’s tough sometimes, with the everyday crap, but it can be done! :-) A photographer I know and love likes to end her seminars and whatnot with the phrase, “peace, love and popsicles.” For some reason this seems fitting today!
