The Meditations of My Heart

Hello All, just letting you know that i have made some updates to my website regarding prices. Also, just a reminder... I am looking for babies, children, pets and teens to take photographs of for my site. I will do a session with whoever is willing to sign a model release form so I can put them on my website. All pictures will be posted without names or any other means of idenitfication and you will get a CD of all the edited images. If you or any of your friends are in the South Western, PA area and are interested, please let me know as soon as possible! Gracias!

Hey Guys, I have entered a photo competition. If you can go to the link at the side of the page and vote for me I would really appreciate it! The grand prize is $750.

Last Monday I remember thinking... wow. only monday . gee it was a long day. I can't believe that I have 4 more until the weekend. Then all of a sudden it was Friday Night and I found myself at home with no plans (so my mom and I watched 4 episodes of Project Runway, lol ). I can't help but think of the popular Keith Urban song and get it stuck in my head... Days go by/I can feel them flying like a hand out the window in the wind/time flys by/ This is all we've been given/ so we better start living right now/ days go by. With school in full swing and working about 40 hours per week, I am starting to go on overload and I think I'm getting sick, but I know that I am SO incredibly blessed to be able to work and save money for car repairs and college. Today I found this diet called "The 3 Hour Diet." I have heard of the concept before, but the actual diet program makes it so easy to follow. Basically, all you do is eat 3 small meals and 2 snacks every 3 ho...

I'm sorry about the absence of my posting over the past week. I'm not kidding when I tell you that I had the busiest week of my life last week. I would get up at 7:30 leave by 8:30 and not be home until after dinner. Between working at Studio M, babysitting, softball, school and FISH Teens, I am booked solid. My Senior Ad Campaign pitch went SUPER well last week. I was so nervous before I left, and then to see the two girls who went to school for marketing do their pitch and it not go over so hott, I was practically a mess when it was time to present my ideas. However, Maria actually liked my idea (thanks to a little inspiration from Sarah Rutman) "What Defines You". The idea of the campaign is to get girls and guys from all walks of life (jock, bookworm, artist, dancer, cheerleader, ect.) to get photographs that accentuate the power of individuality. The unity in everyone being different. I made a little brochure thing that everyone hovered around when it was...

Today was such an amazing day. The weather was beautiful, and I am so glad that I got to be outside with friends for most of it. Today some of my friends and I went to South Side and West Mifflin to spend some time with Shannon before she leaves us (or Ohio) on Monday. Wes even joined us. It was really cool to have things like old times. I am such a sucker for that kind of stuff-especially because Shannon is leaving and we all used to hang out and do stuff together all the time. The whole thing was a great end to an awesome God-filled summer. We got some really cool pictures that are currently uploading on my flickr site. Along with a few other pictures I have been meaning to post. I would post them here for easy access, but there are 26 images, so you can see them on my flickr :)

So I took on more than I can handle... YET again. Between working for Studio M and babysitting twice on Thursdays, I have a full schedule. But add on school, FISH Teens, my photography business, and like 4 new projects that my boss gave me. (Updating our yellow pages online listing, coming up with a good senior campaign, getting prices for an ad on Facebook, and figuring out how to market better to the youth in our area.) I find myself not having time to 'shlep' around anymore, because every waking moment is filled with me moving at lightning speed to get every thing done. I like being busy, I really do, but when I am working on things until 12 in the morning, I have to wonder about the quality of my work. Am I doing it to the best of my ability? At this point, I can't really cut anything off of my plate so I have to keep pounding through it... with God's help, of course. Today, I am hoping that I don't have too much to package at work so I can get right on the phon...
