Thoughts in My Head

I've been thinking alot lately.  I mean on and off when the time allows.  
The past 5 months have been most interesting for me.
It has been painful, good, challenging and sweet all at the same time.
Someone asked me recently how I am transitioning...good question!!
I've come to the conclusion that when you value people, invest in others deeply, 
connect with them often, it is super painful to leave them.  Everything shifts.

The kids are good.  Kevin works alot and is tired.
I am making my way.  I feel the need to read the Word more.
To remind myself of my purpose...of His plan for me:)
Being new forces you to spend more time alone.  That has been different for me.
And instead of jumping in and leading or serving, I am resting.  
Not sure what to do here:)

I have alot to learn in life.  I need to be a more consistent mom.
As Barrett grows, I am reminded of my need to discipline him. 
There are a 100 other things I would rather do.  
But he needs it.  And I will:)

I got a new phone.  I tell you what, those darn things are distracting.
I am forcing myself to have timeouts from it.
For real.  Who cares what the rest of the world is doing.

My business is growing, slllowwly but surely.  It is strange having to put myself out there.
I want to grow in my posing and my metering.
There are a TON of people who do it...completely saturated market.  
However, I am challenging myself to continue to be teachable and
to not compare myself, my images, or my gear to anyone else. 
To be free to enjoy creativity.  

I love to write.  Hand written letters, blogging, encouraging others.  
I'm not sure when it started, but man I love it!!
And people just do not know what to do with a coolio letter in the mail.
It's getting to be a lost art which makes me super sad.
It also kind of makes people think you  REALLY like them if you do.
I mean, I do, but just sayin'

I am so very thankful for so much.  Just as I was watching the CMA awards show 
and Blake Shelton talked about coming to Nashville for the first time and his goals/dreams.
 I decided I need some dreams too:)

1. I want to take a trip with my husband in the next two years.  Alone.
2. I want to know the Bible more.
3. I want to read more period.  Magazines count:)
4. I want to be voted McKinney's best photog.  Watch out world...I'm a-comin'!
5. I want to play with my kids more.  They grow up toooo quick.

That's it tonight...just some thinking:)
