Wow, Mary is a really good sport. This is actually the third photo I've taken of her and if you go over to Lara's site, there will be one of her there as well. Thanks Mary!

I got an email from an amazing friend today who gave me something incredible. He gave me the energy and inspiration to keep going. I realized after I read his email that there are several people who have done the exact same thing. So, Leslie, Cecily, Emily, Emily C., Jo, Dad, Mom, Lara, Naomi, Sarah, Sarah B., Steph, Rachel, Gigi, Nicki, Taylor, Baylee, Robert, Craig, Cheri, Liz, M. Pond, and anyone else who has commented or sent encouragement, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! If it weren't for you, this would have ended after the 2nd week. You all give me strength.
To those of you who haven't shown yourself yet (don't be afraid, I would LOVE to hear from you), I thank you too. You are just as valuable.
My friend Shannon always used to say "Cool Shoes!" It didn't even have to be about shoes, though she loved "cool shoes." This shot made me think of her. I like thinking about Shan, it makes me smile. (This is for you Jo!)
I used to live my life vicariously through others, and then through the lens of a camera. But I'm tired of living vicariously. It's time that I starting living. And I mean really living.
I'm still a singer, an artist, and a student of life.
