TT - "Gratitude"


Nothing can evoke my gratitude more strongly than spending time with my loved ones. Last night, I had the honor of supporting one of my very good friends, Mary Tebbs, as she performed her new show Make it Light. Not only did I get to be there as her friend, I also got to be there as the official photographer. Magic!

The more I play with my camera, the more I realize how much I love it. One of my friends recently told me that she experiences me so differently when I have my camera in my hands. She said she sees me as very young and playful and that, rather than hiding behind the camera as many photographers do, it becomes a toy that is part of the action and through which I interact with life.

I have so much for which to be grateful. In thinking back over my life, I have realized that my gratitude is coming first and foremost in my life. I feel happy about that. I have so many friends and loved ones in my world that enhance my life and bring me to getting to know myself completely. As I look at my life through the eyes of gratitude, everything becomes beautiful. Everything is a miracle. Everywhere there is magic.

Gratitude, indeed!

Angie, your photography is *outstanding*! You really captured the mood and movement of the stage, and that takes both love and talent: Wow! Definitely, keep playing with your camera, because you've got the magic for it :)
And again, I just want to thank you for the love that you share here, on your blog--it is such an uplifting place to read.
If you feel so inclined, please feel free to email me and tell me about your gifts as a healer and, maybe, we could share stories (I am an ex-mormon, too, and am very interested in energy healing).... But, please feel NO pressure to do so, if your heart isn't there for it right now!
Have a beautiful and rich weekend :)
In Joy,
Kristen

Oh you Talk Thursday'd, way kewl.

A camera gives you an insight, a specific focus of an event, and the joy to tell the story in moments of photos.

Thank you for visiting and sharing your kind words. I have had a camera in my hand, practically since I could walk and it is something I truly love. Just so you know... I have LOTS of information up on my website about my journey as a healer www.momentsofawakening.com and I also have a Meditation of the Week that goes out free via email that talks about my ongoing journey. You can sign up for that at my website, too, if ya want!
Thanks again for stopping by.
Blessed be.

My dear friend... yes I DID Talk Thursday'd. Finally. Although I had no conscious knowledge of the fact that I had fallen off the horse, perhaps I am back in the saddle again. :)
