I am on cloud nine today. No, not because I had to go work all day for that client that makes me want to go rock in the corner, nope. I am high on the possibility of things to come, an intoxicating feeling, which also seems to land me deep in the present. For a non-new-agey person, I think I may have sounded definitely ‘out there’ and new-agey. I am taking another huge leap of faith this week and letting loose said client, which means I will not have the ‘security’ of a paycheck. I understand what they mean by leap because it feels like a huge one (apropos that I should choose this during a leap’ year, no?). I am just ready for this, mentally and fiscally. I’ve saved and saved and saved. I haven’t bought a pair of shoes, gone out to dinner or a movie since I don’t know when. I saved like my life depended on it and it does. I am not King Midas now by any stretch but I have enough to get me through a few months and to see if I can make it without a ‘real’ job. I am not going to be laying poolside eating bon bons either. I have been working hard, very hard, but working and loving what I do is an extreme pleasure that I can’t quite articulate. I love how I feel in the morning when I know I have a whole day of possibility ahead of me. I love that I feel creative, productive and light. I am scared but it’s a happy fear (is there such a thing?). I can’t wait for Souvenir Foto School to start, it’s always a good time and I feel like it’s a perfect way to wish my old life a ‘bon voyage’. Thank you to everyone who visits, your support has helped my dreams come true as you have never given up on me and have been my virtual cheerleaders. I am both humbled and extremely grateful.Thank you.
I will be editing a photo a day for the remainder of 2012::Project MMXII, this is my ‘after’, you can view the ‘before’ here. Read more…
P.S. I used a very cool (and free) action from Pioneer Woman for this edit. Have at it!
