I feel guilty. I feel so overwhelmed that I am sitting here, at my kitchen counter, drinking cold brew coffee, not too hot and not too cold, my son playing with his toys in his organic cotton pjs, the dogs sleeping quietly. My possessions are all in tact. My photography clients are still coming, and I’m still making money so that I can continue living.
We don’t have internet. That’s about it… in a way it’s almost nice.

This week I put out a question on my Instagram stories asking what topics you’d like for me to cover on the blog.

Read MoreHey friends,
Let's jump right to it today.
I recently got into a somewhat heated conversation with a family member who doesn't quite agree with my approach to life. He stated the following:
following one's passion can be fickle and unreliable;
