The art of life

When your passion, career and life are all tangled up into one it's easy to get discouraged when even tiny things don't go as you'd hope. It's natural to question if the blood, sweat and tears are actually worth it. There are some days when I find myself in that place, wondering.And then there are some days when I know the answer.I can't look at this image without tears in my eyes. This image is what life is all about, what art is all about and why it really is all so worth it.This comment brought it all home for me yesterday, "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. To be able to see such beautiful photos of our new granddaughter so quickly is such a blessing!"This family is so near and dear to my heart and to be present for this moment in their lives has left me feeling tremendously humbled in awe of the blessing I've been given.
