So I decided this spring would be the start of a healthier life. I registered in a few classes to help me get there. The problem with what I have done is that Monday's I have 2 hours of cardio and strength training chaos. It is 11:30 at night and I'm feeling a bit sore. In the long run I know I will appreciate these moments of stiffness and that they will eventually subside but for right now, it just hurts.
On another note, I was talking to a friend of mine tonight about my passion for photography and how I would love to be able to one day be good enough to make some money at it. I really started to wonder after our conversation where I wanted photography to take me and how far I was willing to go with it. Ironically enough this is the same topic of the final DLS assignment that has been haunting me. I think my problem with completing the assignment is my confidence. I would love to have my own studio one day and be a widely recognized photographer but getting there seems like the impossible road. I'd be willing to settle for a modest home based business if that is where the wind takes me. The one thing I know for sure though is that I really truly deep down want to be good at it. I want people to appreciate what I do and be willing to pay me for turning their special moments into memories. I realize in order to do this I need to develop some serious faith in myself. I have a tremendous support system. My husband encourages me day after day to turn my love into a business. My friends and family are constantly complimenting me on the photos that I take and as crazy as it sounds some have even asked me for tips... me of all people! But before I can even fathom moving towards this dream I need to convince the biggest critic of all that I can do it... me. I'm working on that part... and hopefully one day I'll get there. In the meantime, I'm just going to take pictures and enjoy doing it.

Working it!

I made Mother's Day resolutions. So far I'm doing good with the exercise. So far I'm doing horrible avoiding chocolate....
I would love some chocolate right now....... :(
Part One.... complete.
You just answered the DLS questions in your own way. I totally got the feel of where you're sitting. You may want to expand on more ideas but even if you don't you already recognize what you kinda want out of your photography skills. And you have the skills. People are seeing it.
And I am totally chocolate addicted too. It's my biggest weakness.
