Realize your Worth

I had several hours of reflection time today while driving back from my weekend in Lewiston. As I was winding down Hwy 95, listening to my David Gray CD, I became overwhelmed with emotion. So much in fact, that my sunglasses began to fog up!

Have you ever had one of those moments that you feel abundantly blessed and thankful? Even in an insignificant way you feel you are in fact significant? That somehow your talents and contributions, no matter how small they may seem, make a difference to someone else. Today I was reminded of my worth and I gained a better clarity to what my purpose may be in this life's journey.

I challenge you to acknowledge your unique talents, what ever they may be. Embrace your uniqueness and realize your worth.

"The purpose of life is to matter, to be productive, to have it make some difference that you lived at all. Happiness, in the ancient, noble sense, means self-fulfillment and is given to those who use to the fullest whatever talents God or luck or fate bestowed upon them." Leo Calvin Rosten

Welcome Friends

 I had two goals this year.  One, to get my website up and running (www.monaoxfordlyman.com) and two, to create a photography blog.  Yeah for me, I have accomplished both.

So, welcome to my blog.  I thought it would be fun to share my photography journey with you.   I will be posting samples of recent photo shoots, lending some photography tips for all of you aspiring photographers out there, and  to keep you informed of new and interesting products/promotions  I have available through my photography studio.  

I am anticipating that my skills in this new blogging arena will develop as this wonderful journey unfolds, but like all new endeavors it might be a little slow going at first.  I am up for the challenge and excited for what is to come.  Until next time. . .
