Before I kiss 2014 Goodbye

Thank you for another wonderful year of readership, friendship, community, support, and affection.

This wonderful life of ours has been a beautiful roller coaster of lessons in family, marriage, courage, and the pursuit of individual passions.

2015 promises to throw a lot more of those things our way, and in the mix, we will continue to explore the world, our neighborhood, and ourselves.

Long before I blogged and was awarded so much, I lost a lot. What those losses taught me was that life is too short and every new day we wake up to experience is an opportunity to be better, get better, do better, and pursue better.

Every day is a chance to pursue our joy and share it with others. As long as we don’t lose hope in the possibilities that lay before us those chances can seem endless. Who we are today is not who we will always be, especially if who we are isn’t what makes us happy. Take it from me. I sometimes feel I have lived three different lives!

I am grateful for any day I am given in this new coming year where I get the chance to be the best that I can be in all aspects of my life so that hopefully when I am gone whatever mark I leave, however small, only serves to inspire and make someone smile. I may not always succeed, but man, am I trying.

And that is all we can hope for, my dear friends, and why I love sharing my stories with you. May next year have countless days where we live, love, and laugh to the fullest.

Thank you for taking the time to read, share, and comment.

I hope that I inspire you as often and as much as you inspire me.

Happy 2015!

A day in photography, and a glimpse of Small Town A day in photography, and a glimpse of Small Town America. 

From Dairy Day in Dryden, NY to Pride and Protest in Corning, NY. One thing is certain - we all just want to live our lives and be happy doing so. And while what that joy looks like is different for everyone, we all deserve the right and freedom to do so without fear or intimidation.

Today we are out on assignment doing photography w Today we are out on assignment doing photography work. Top of mind for us are all the protests that will be happening across the country against the illegal and violent attacks against Americans and Black and brown immigrants alike. May they be kept safe from harm and may their voices stay strong and loud. 

¡Viva mi gente! ✊🏾
