Inspiration

I'm a quote junky! I love inspirational quotes and I have a habit of saving them in this crazy file and then pulling them out when I need 'em. Not so long ago I left a 9 to 5 job that had me pulling into that file on almost a daily basis ... I remember sticking one of those quotes along with something my neighbor told me on my monitor ... What my neighbor said to me that made me really smile inside was "I like the way you do life" WOW! I just loved hearing those words ... so once we were done being friendly outside I wrote them down in my notebook and on a sticky for the monitor ... I then added it to the quote on the monitor already that read ...

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." ~Thomas A. Edison

I kept that quote up there because my goal was to be a full time photographer.

Last night I was going through a box of files and my quote fell out ... wow ... I am now a full time photographer and I still love those words .. .but seeing them again really made me think and reflect on how if we stick to our dreams we can achieve them and then have even more dreams.

Never give up! No matter what the trail is ... no matter what ... if you believe ... you CAN!

I posted this picture of my buddy Peyton because I just love it ... we did the shoot at Standford ... Peyton is 6 and wants to goto Standford and I tell you friends ... If I were a woman who bet ... i would make the sure bet that he will indeed do it .. I love Peyton's spirit ... he is full of life and every time I photograph him I laugh and run and laugh some more!!! I love Peyton! His mom totally ROCKs too not to mention the rest of the fam ... but truth be told ... Peyton cracks me up the most ... I love the way he does life!
