The world today seems like a very scary place with all the political turmoil we are in and a pandemic racing around the world. At times like these we can so quickly get stuck in fear and isn’t it awful thinking. For me I have always tried to look at life with an attitude of gratitude. I read recently when you are in the experience of feeling grateful there is no place for fear or anger or any other emotion to enter just happiness and joy. Its so easy to focus on the negative, now more than anytime in our history, but I think that right now we need to put all of our attention on practicing compassion and gratitude. For me I have so so much to be grateful for. My family,my friends, my home, my health, every single client that I have had the joy to work with in my lifetime of creating portraits are the ones that immediately come to mind when I am feeling grateful. But if I am really living from a place of gratitude I can find so many many reasons to be grateful in each moment of the day. So today I invite you to stop and look for all the ordinary miracles, big or small, that are around you all the time. Cherish these moments as a gift for that is what life is. How we choose to look at it is how we define our world. Mine is a beautiful amazing place. Here is one of my hearts biggest joys and he is 3 years old now. I will share more later and I would love for you to share we me as well some of your grateful moments. Hugs to all!
