LIFE

LIFE. IS. HARD.
When life throws you a curve, you try to dodge, bounce back, do whatever to stay on track. Sometimes you get so many curves you just need to decompress. This last week I had the kind of curve. One that I am sure I can come back from, but not without everything I have got, kwim? I need to find my inner strength, take steps to move forward, and just plain old, get past it. But I just can't seem to. I know it's a funk, but I just can't make myself. Certain things need to happen first. So this weekend I am going to take my mind off it. I am setting up a personal challenge. It won't be easy, but not because of what it is, I love what it is. but because my life never stops. I am an accountant, I am a wife, I am a mother, I am a step mother, I am a daughter, I am a neighbor, I am a friend. But where is my heart when it comes to me? I am a photographer. It's my passion, it's my thing that no matter the storm, I can decompress with. It feeds my soul. I need to get back to the things that feed my soul, so when life hands me curves, I am there to dodge, bounce back, and get on track.

So here is the challenge. 100 photos. doesn't sound like that much for most photographers, but I am setting a higher standard.

100 photos in 3 days.
all different, interesting, and what I see around me that makes me smile. My life, my world, my loves.
I will not post them all at once. I will relive the smile,one photo at a time.
I will work on using my camera and less editing to work on my craft.


After all this, I hope to see where my funk is, and see if it's gone with the wind. I will reevaluate where I stand with my soul. I will invite those around me to remind me what makes me smile. I will remember, that I have something that people dream of. I have the love of a man that I adore, children who remind me everyday that I was put on this earth to be their mother (stepmother too!). I will regain my strength in telling life's curves, YOU. GOT. NOTHING. ON. ME!
