We are all familiar with the Judy Blume novel. A young girl’s conflict with her issues of belief in God. I feel a sort of kinship with young Margaret- even at the age of 29.
Many times I have questioned where God wanted me to be in life. Sure, I am a loving mother to a beautiful, amazing and talented 7 (almost 8) yr. old little girl... and some would suggest that should be all the purpose I need in life....but would there be more?
Like, shouldn't I ALREADY be a famous photographer?
What about this overwhelming ache in my chest that is a constant reminder of all the things I have not done and have not succeeded at?
My dear friend Sarah Fisher of Fish Pilate’s (yes that was a plug) wrote on her Face Book page-
“ Focus on the journey not the destination”.
Although this quote may bring about the warm fuzzies when reading it- it’s not always easy when living it- and if I am going to focus on it- then I need to document it. (P.S. I love to use dashes and dots....! )
I look forward to the day I reflect back on this exact post with a humble heart- documenting all my mistakes and moments of weakness on the photographic road to becoming a starlet.
So this begins my journal and now begins my journey.
First stop- book a fabulous and reasonably priced workshop in Hollywood : )
