Thanksgiving is a time of year to reflect on family, friends and other elements of life for which we are grateful. While I believe strongly that striving for gratitude should be a daily practice, I will certainly not pass on the opportunity to express my thanks today.
It is difficult for me to make a separation from my personal and professional life because they are so closely linked to one another. This is actually a good thing for me. And so, my list of thanks reflects both.
A few items of thanks:
- My family–both furry and non-furry members.
- Having a passion for my work; I can't imagine not pressing the shutter when I see something beautiful through the viewfinder.
- The opportunity to work and experience community in two incredible cities–Santa Fe and Austin.
- My clients who invite me into their lives to creatively capture what is most important to them.
- A husband who encourages me to grow both personally and professionally and does the same for himself.
- Mature and new relationships and the experience of connection and joy they both bring.
- Inspiring projects that expose me to new perspectives and opportunities.
- Oh, and let me not forget: trailer eateries, cheese, laughter, color, red wine and sunshine. (Not necessarily in that order).
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones. May you squeeze everyone extra tightly, just because.
Warmly,
Norah
