Mixed Feelings....

I have never really reflected on the past year ever, but this year is way different. Its been a great year, and I honestly believe its because of the 365 Project and a few other things. Not only do I have 365 photos to add to a what is going to be a great book, but I have 365 memories saved so I can look back every day!

After starting my job back in September, I had the opportunity to listen to the radio station in the morning and on Mondays it was mental tip Monday. So I wanted to reflect on my 2015.

5 questions on reflection for 2015....
1. If you had to describe 2015 in 5 words, what would they be? Dedication, Adventure, Life, Creative, Growth

2. What one event, big or small, made the biggest impact? MBA in Accounting and Finance completion!

3. What new things did you discover about yourself? I can do what I put my mind to, between my awesome new job, my education, and my 365 challenge.

4. What is your biggest ha-ha moment of the year? I would have to say there is not just one Ha-ha moment, because there are always so many ha-ha moments :)

5. What is one thing you would do differently and why? I would put myself first more often, instead of always doing of others, there comes a time when you say no!

So go for it, reflect on the last year, and do not set resolutions!  Resolutions lead to failure, but goals lead to success!  Promise its proved to be true in 2015. So as I reflect and become very sad about the end of my 365, I look forward to the 366, as well as the 52 week challenge I am going to set as some of my goals for 2016!

Happy New Year and please be safe and make sure you are here with us in 2016

How can it be January in just a few short days? Christmas comes and goes so quickly, that sometimes just enjoying the moment fails to happen. This year has been far from boring, and has given me some great memories. Not only have my clients helped to make some of those memories from the session of laughter from the traveling shirt, to the session where the dogs acted so good I now want a golden retriever of my own, to the memories from the hospital of the newborn babies.

This year a friend said "hey you should do the 365 challenge with me...." Yeah, I will say that I thought the idea was nuts at first I mean come on how could I take a photo a day? How could I actually have so much to take photos of? What did I think would happen after 30 days when I had nothing left....Well the questions all crossed my mind, and I said heck let me try. Well after 30 days I was going strong, just getting into it. And well as I posted my photo number 362 today, I cant wait to create my book, start year two along with starting another photo challenge. Not only am I going to have a book to look back on, but I have photos on my wall!!!! 


Come on you know you want to take a look into a whole year of photos!
