A DSLR on my lap
May 20, 2009So In a few days I will be going away, away on a trip, a trip different like no other, a trip which I know will change my life forever, a make or break in my business. I feel like it is now or never, so I must go, it is a dream, a dream must be put to the test, must be lived out must try perhaps once, twice, a few times so there are no what if’s, no regrets, no doubts, no day dreaming but a pursue, a pursue towards living the good life, because we are on a path, we are constantly moving and one must decide if moving towards a dream or if staying stagnate, wondering around and life passing you by. Life has passed me by too much already, so many no’s, so much failure, so much frustration and I am ready for change, a year ago a client was given to me, and photography fell in my lap and I always say stripped me of my comfort zone and I am so happy and content and moving, moving forward. Is it in a snap of a finger? Not at all!!! I am a stay a home mom, running her business from home with two small kids who do not go to school, we are in a recession, I recently almost lost my home and am short selling, times are not easy but it has been a leap of faith where I believe God’s favor has started to change the ground around me and I know I must go on this trip.
When I was 17 my first job ever was at JC Penny Portrait Studio, when I was hired I thought I would be a cashier so I show up on first day and they show me a small room with this machine and a clown around the machine which is supposed to calm the child. I thought to myself, wait a minute, I am the photographer, the cashier, the sales person, my by myself? I was not a happy camper whenever I would see those people lined up with coupons and kids running around til one winter storm Sunday where I was late cause all the roads were closed, I said I am done with this. And then 12 years later, this DSLR which I purchased on the day of the photo shoot fell in my life and I fell in love, in love with life, in love with a dream, in love with my family, in love with God and all His wonders. And now in a few days I will be an intern with Sarah Barlow and that in itself is God’s Law of attraction, another post to come but right now I am dealing with the little guilt of being a bit selfish and of leaving my boys and husband behind. I know they will be okay, it is only 11 days but had been spending lots of quality time and explaining that mommy is going on a trip and bringing them back a cowboy hat from Nashville, TN. Watch out Country Music! Do not worry I will not sing and I will have my DSLR but not on my lap on my face sucked in taking as many pictures and learning so much.
