Darling, Don’t…

Darling, you were made to do great things.

Don’t listen to those who tell you you can’t.

Don’t surround yourself with people who doubt.

Don’t fall into societies “norm”.

Don’t turn your back on your morals.

Don’t forget where you came from.

Don’t give up when the going gets tough.

Don’t be afraid to shine.

Don’t forget to thank your friends and family.

Don’t over think the little things.

Don’t take this life for granted.

Don’t be afraid to take a leap of faith.

Don’t forget to give God all the glory.

And don’t you ever settle for anything less than your best.

…

Best Portrait…

This weekend has been wonderful.  I have been blessed with so much and I am so incredibly thankful for it all.  Last night I was honored to win best portrait in the 2nd annual T.A.G. Photo Prize.  I like winning – not because I’m super competitive, but because it restores my faith in what I do.  It reminds me that I’m not wasting my time; that I can turn a passion for art into something successful.  So here’s to this win, and those that may, or may not, lie ahead.  Here’s to a week as wonderful as this weekend.
