Challenge #1 / Self-Portrait

So, here I am. 

A doctor once told me,

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You." Okay, it was Dr. Seuss and he didn't tell me, PER SE, but I read it in a book once and that's a pretty good quote, huh?! So, my advice here is: you are the only chance you get at this life. We don't get to be someone we're not. We get one crack at this baby and that's it. Look around at your wonderful world, your amazing life and be thankful for what you've worked for and earned and what you've been blessed with - past, present, and future. Instead of dwelling on the not-so-good things, appreciate the very good things. Take em and run with em. It will never be perfect, but the possibility of it being pretty dang good is high. You are in control. Live the life you're meant to live. Be happy. 

I started this 30-day photography challenge to keep me sharp and picking up my camera each day. Also, it's kind've fun to have "assignments" to keep things new and interesting. Sometimes it's good to be told what to do ~ and to use your mind and creativity to decide what it means to you. 

**I did a friend's engagement shoot last night and am working on those photos so stay tuned! 

I guess it was kind've a typical Sunday, really. How was yours?
