Year in Review

I think, if I had to pick just one of the past (almost) 29 years, 2013 would have to be it.  It was crazy busy and crazy FULL - full of so many wonderful and amazing moments, hugs, first breaths of life, a birth of a sisterhood, and a fulfillment of a dream.  We are so blessed and I am thankful and ready to see what this year has to bring!

We all know that I'm a goal setter and planner, but I made only one resolution for 2014 - more quality time with the family.  The first step in this for me was to stop wasting precious time on Social Media!! This meant deleting the Facebook app on my phone so that I can no longer scroll through my newsfeed when "bored" or need a distraction.  Instead, when I feel like doing something like checking FB even on my computer (which I've limited to 3 newsfeed checks daily), I'm going to use those moments to pray for someone I love, or use those times to work more efficiently.  It's such a black hole for me because I am connected to so many other photographers around the world and I love seeing their work, and love seeing what my friends are up to, but it seriously did become a problem for me last year.

Although looking back at the progression of my 365 progression bring warms fuzzy feelings in my heart, I decided not to do one this year.  It just became another thing for me to feel bad about not getting done, and didn't seem to inspire any real creativity (which was the initial purpose).  Here it is, with many days missing, and some images uploading with weird color space issues….hopefully it brings a smile to your heart as well.
