Being Restless

  I'm restless.

  At my day job.

  I have to go to this day job.  Every day.  So that I can make money to pay bills.

  However, my heart is with my "weekend" job - Photography- & with travel.

  Photography, the job that, so far this year, has not given me enough income to purchase an Ipad with.

  I feel this tug inside of me, this desire to drop it all and do what I love.  Photography & travel.

  But how can I? 

  I can't pay bills without money.  I can't travel without money.

  I pray for guidance, for an open door.  For a sign.  There is no response.  Yet that tug inside my soul is still there.

  Hope & faith are what I have right this moment.  And the promise to: "Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." Psalms 37:4

Trying Something New....Excited

 
  Right now my photography business focuses on families, couples, children (toddler to young teens) and women (beauty portraits, bridal portraits/trash the dress).  However, recently I have been wondering what it would be like to do boudoir (yes, I said it) photography.

  I’m not all into the “show your entire entire body” boudoir but the tasteful, classic, sophisticated, subtly sexy boudoir for married ladies only.  Wouldn't that be an incredibly sweet gift to give your husband?  I think that it would be.

  Tonight I will be meeting with a friend who (I think) is going to let me practice on her.....I say "I think" because I feel like I may still have some convincing to do. Although, either way there is no loss.  If she says no, I’ll try to convince someone else!  If no one will let me practice, then it’s a sign that it’s not meant to be!!

  I do want to give a disclaimer here too.  If I do begin offering boudoir photography, I won't be showing any of that work online.  It would be word of mouth referrals with private, in home consultations.

  So, if you have ever had a positive boudoir experience, or know of any good photographers whose boudoir photography I should check out, let me know!

Are You Wading or Jumping?

I don't know how to swim.  True story.  I can't even float.  True story.

But it doesn't really bother me.  Maybe, someday, I'll learn but it's not a priority in my life.

However, I do want to swim in the figurative sense.  I want to not have to wade at the edge of the hotel swimming pool of life, or the ocean of life (whichever you prefer).  I want to be able to take a running jump and dive, headfirst into the water

It's something I've been pondering recently.

There are lots of things I want to do.  Languages I want to learn, classes I want to take, books I want to write, photos I want to take, adventures I'd like to have and sometimes, instead of just going ahead and taking the leap to begin them (sending an email, signing up for a class, getting out my camera, etc) I start analyzing (yea, not a good word).  And before you know it, I've talked myself out of it.


I'm challenging myself (and you too, if you want to join me) to not analyze so much.   Instead, the next thing that I desire to do, I'm just going to run, jump and dive headfirst into it and see where it takes me.....

How about you?
