This year is almost at its end. WOW!

This year has really taken me for a ride. For the first six months of it I was wondering if I wanted to go back to work full time as a school teacher, not because I wanted to start my own photography business; but because all of my friends were working and I didn't have anybody at home with me to talk to, have lunch, or to shop with. I knew that working full time would be hard for me, being that I am a full time graduate student with four kids. The classwork requirements would have had to be put on hold until late, late at night after I have helped my kids with their homework, cooked dinner and gotten everyone ready for bed, mind you my husband works out of town so he's not home until after all of those things are done. So I opted to not even attempt it.

One day while at the zoo taking pictures all by my lonesome, I decided that this was something that I was really good at and people really did like my work, so why not make it full-time. Why not? I get flexibility, while still making a decent salary. Look when I say I love photography, I really love photography. This has been a passion of mine for some years and OMG if I could sleep with my camera and take pictures while sleeping I probably would. I wake up playing with it and I go to sleep playing with it. There is not a day that I am not shooting something whether it's for fun or work I am shooting.

This passion over the year has really brought a lot of light to my life, I have never felt so at peace with a decision that I have spontaneously made and not regret something about it. Where as with photography I have invested my whole heart and soul into along with my money.  If I had it to do all over again I would.

On December 15, 2010 I will be turning 33 years old and although I have a college education and working on my Master's Degree I couldn't  more happier with where I am in my life. It seems as if it took me all of my life to get here and I must say I LOVE IT! I look back on the last 7 months of this year and how fast it has passed my by, but I must congratulate myself. I have accomplished tons while maintaining a 3.5 G.P.A  in school.

Yes, it was hard trying to balance everyday life, school work and business but as I always say prayer makes a difference. God has never let my down, he has always been there to pick me up when I fall so I have no problem getting back up, dusting myself off and trying it again.
