Ready or Not! It's Christmas!

Is it just me or does each year seem to go by faster and faster?!  Especially when we get to the holiday season.  Maybe it's just because we're all so involved in so many things these days.  Knowing that I can't slow the clock down,  l realize time is precious - it's important to make sure we're balancing our lives - work, personal time, family and friends.  Sometimes that isn't easy to do,  but it's critical to our happiness.  As they say, take time to smell the roses!

Anyone who is self employed knows the trap of becoming married to your business and letting other aspects of our life fall by the wayside.  For me this time of year,  as I imagine for a lot of you,  is a time to reflect.  Where we are, personally and professionally.  Readjust some things, plan for the coming year, find and pursue your passions!

Even as chaotic as it can be,  I truly love this time of year.  I realize how incredibly blessed I have been in my life and how exciting the future is.  So many people have helped me grow as a person and as a photographer.   In the coming year,  appreciate and enjoy your family, friends, photography excursions,  and all of the incredible experiences on this planet!

I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year!
