Squeeze lemons and make lemonade!! Isn't that the saying? Well I am going to go with that and say, that is so very true.
Things happen all the time that get us down and make us feel sorry, sad, bad or any of those negative adjectives about ourselves. But you just can't let it happen because right around the corner from those negative action...is a positive reaction! (I made a science joke there!!)
Take for instance last month...I had no inspiration at all to focus on my photography. I still brought my camera every where I went, I would even pull it out sometimes, but nothing at all seemed inspirational enough to take. That is the beauty of art...unless you feel it, you can't make it. With all the negative things that were going on around me...how could I feel inspired?
Then it happened! My positive reaction!! In one day, we went from loosing our house (my landlord sold it while we are still living in it) loosing the boyfriends shop (problems again with a landlord...are you seeing a pattern here) and just being plain ol' down in the dumps...TO having a new house that is so dirty and dingy and needs so much work and I am absolutely going to love every minute of fixing it up AND the boyfriend finding a new shop right down the street from our new house!! What luck is that!!
Now my inspiration is back! I will have an office/library area in my new house, which means more motivation to bring you amazing beautiful pictures! I couldn't be more excited!
To start off this new inspirational weekend...I have a mini session on Saturday at beautiful Jacobsburg Park with some amazing families! And an contest that is so near and dear to my heart!
In my belief that every family should be able to hang their precious moments in time up for everyone to see, I am doing a contest where someone can nominate themselves or a family for a $100.00 gift certificate! That way even when that family seems down, I can give them a few lemons to squeeze themselves! Contest ends this weekend...read the posts and like your favorite story and help!! Click on the word Contest to get you there!
So stay tuned for awesome pictures to come and just remember...when things get bad....it will always, always, always get better!
