It’s not very often that I publicly express my deep and most true feelings. Yes, I am known to be a sharer… it’s in my blood and I love to talk, but I own it. It might scare people away and I am okay with that, it’s who I am and I can’t apologize for that.
As I mentioned before I have been reading The Artist’s Way and one of the assignments is morning pages in which you write three pages every morning of all your thoughts, any thoughts for at least three months if not longer. The exercise allows you to get rid of feelings and fears that are getting in the way of your creative journey or any journey for that matter. It has been so therapeutic for me, like my best friend Annie and I always say “who doesn’t need therapy at some point in their life?”. Not only is it forcing me to face my fears, but I’m taking action on some of them and it has been very liberating.It could not have come at a better time. Just when I was feeling lost and fearful I found a way to deal with it so that I can face it, heal and move on. It’s not to say that it will make it all better or that I will never fear again, I’m taking it one day at a time. Lately, that has been my motto “just take it one day at a time”. I’m still feeling a little lost, but I’m confident that I will find my way soon.
I wanted to share these photos because April was just not a good month on so many levels and seeing these photos makes me happy. It gives me that feeling of ah, I made it through now let’s move on. On Saturday Kris and I went shooting near our house just because. He will be practicing with me a little more as he becomes a second shooter for any future weddings I shoot. I’ve been dying for some photos of us and so I took a tripod that was given to me, but those photos just did not workout. Out of focus, couldn’t get the right angle and so we just shot each other and our surroundings. Here are some of my favorites that Kris captured and one that I took of him that he approved (yes, I have to get his approval to post). He was such a good director and comforting, bringing out the kid in me (he’s so good at doing that). Thank you sweetie for always being there.
So glad I had a good hair day, my curly noodles don’t always cooperate with me.
Yelllow flowers and a sunny day = happiness
For those of you still there, thank you for listening and always supporting me. Your comments always bring a smile to my face.
