Perseverance, Passion & Determination
This is a photo of one of the most meaningful women in my life. She is sooooo VERY strong, yet those who truly know her, know her weaknesses & love her all the more. She is a dedicated Mother, friend & student. Even with the small amount of time she has, she always has time for me. We have been through many of life's difficulties, laughter & tears. Our friendship has grown & we keep learning new things & I'm so excited about a few new ventures that we are both interested in & learning together for both our own personal growth.
Through the past few years I have known my own heartaches & have been exposed to what I see all around me as a degeneration of morals, values and integrity of society and people in general. People appear to have no regard that their actions may have a profound impact on another person that has a heart & soul. Human Beings were meant to love & be loved not to be used & abused. Do I let this change me? No, I try darn hard to not let it, but it has shaped & molded me into stronger women. I am happy to say that I do have people in my life that are good, honest people to the very core of their souls, that stand beside me & have earned my loyalty & trust. Trust, respect & communication are 3 ingredients that I need & value in people in my life. If you are reading this & know me, YOU will know if you are one of those select people in my life because I choose to not let the past control me & express love & care not knowing the outcome. I"m thankful for loving Parents that taught me character & live their lives as a true example of this. Friends that surround me and support and encourage me not to change to keep on sparkling & shining. It's easy in a very short period of time to determine the intentions of a new person one encounters. I choose to love and treat people kindly even if they treat me in ways I don't appreciate or are unacceptable to me. I"m even trying hard (still a work in progress) to have loving thoughts or at least forgiving to those that have not been what they should have been to me.
Thanks for bearing with me if you have read this far. I don't claim to be a writer & never will be. These are my heartfelt thoughts. I am not "active" on flickr these days, but still post my images, view & fave your photos. My gosh I have some talented friends & contacts. :-) Keep on going out there & capturing those images. Thanks to those of you that have sent me personal messages please know that I am deeply touched & if I have not responded it's not that I don't want to, I just don't have a lot of computer time these days.
This post is dedicated to my Friend. I am going to be soooooo VERY Proud of her the day she graduates & the dreams she has to be change this world we live in for the better! Know that you have some strong people in your life supporting your dreams, passions & desires. You will get there. Keep doing what you do. I LOVE YOU C!!!
