“Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once. Breathe. You’re strong. You got this. Take it day by day.” – Karen Salmansohn

Today is a day to choose a different path.

Enjoy the unknown way - one step at a time.

Nashville Warbler ( Vermivora ruticapilla)

Hello All!

An image from Fall 2018:

A Nashville Warbler hunting for bugs that gave me no end of poses. I chose to post this particular image because yours truly (moi) is having foot surgery and will be away from Flickr. I'll get back when I can, but my attendance will be rather spotty for the next while.

I want to send my thoughts and prayers out to all of you from Australia. The devastation that is happening is unspeakable with profound effects that will be felt worldwide. Be safe and stay strong.

I truly do appreciate your comments and views, THANK YOU! Do have a wonderful day and KEEP CLICKING!

Each attendant is keenly pushing the curtain away, determined to reveal the blue lady"

one step at a time

This photo was inspired by Rick’s (a Flickr friend) comment on a photo of mine titled “Light” where he mentioned the idea of sharing photos of the contents of my sketchbook. Honestly, I don’t consider anything in my sketchbook as sketches but instead doodles. The concept and idea behind this doodle was important for me a few years ago when I made it and today when I see it there is still great importance in this message to myself. It is a good reminder to work at being a little more gentle with myself especially now as I’m struggling intensely with the effects of experiencing devastating trauma even after many years of therapy and hard work. That even though it feels like I’m getting nowhere there actually is noticeable improvement (due to lots of deep, hard work) and that by taking the next “small” step and doing basic things is what adds up in great ways over time. This is how I’ve survived when survival seemed/still seems impossible and/or undesirable—taking the next breath, crying a tear, doing some doodling, doing my routine of walking in the morning, taking a few pictures, spending time with my husband and children, looking for light, eating even a small meal, taking a shower, taking a small drink of water, getting out of bed in the morning, listening to some music, stepping outside for a while, and many other things. Even though I easily become angry with myself, it seems like I should be more productive, functioning better and further along in my healing and growth. This journey of growth cannot be rushed—it’s ok to grow and heal at my own pace. Slowly grow…one step at a time.

[I think I made this doodle sometime in 2019 and used a micron pen and watercolor paint]

I got a new camera lens and took my beautiful niece out for a photoshoot. She chose the outfit, I chose the place.

My lens is the Tamron 70 200mm 2.8 vc. The only editing I did to this image was put a little vinetting in the corners and straitened the lines on the left of the image. I'm very impressed with the lens, and with my nieces modeling skills.

"Seeing the light at the top of the stairs"

The back kitchen stairs in an old hoarder mansion that has finally been bought by an out-of-state couple who is renovating it one step at a time, hoping to eventually transform it into a beautiful B&B!

Nadja at ASU, a great place to walk and enjoy different architecture, gardens and other fun finds and a stop at a coffee shop for a little bit of rest.

Into the magical and mysterious wilderness of the peaks, exploring the strange pathways leading you on to who knows where..

Stepping on the stone slabs not knowing which will tip you off into the peat bog as they suddenly sink in one corner..

Seeing the strangely shaped outcrops of rocks called by various names such as 'cakes of bread' 'coach and horses' 'salt cellar'..

Watching and listening out for the lovely but defensive Red Grouse, who will spot you and chase you away with their distinctive call of 'go back, go back'!

P/S: This capture reminds me of Jordin's song...

"ONE STEP AT A TIME"

by Jordin Sparks

Hurry up and wait

So close, but so far away

Everything that you've always dreamed of

Close enough for you to taste

But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet

Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it

You know you can if you get the chance

In your face as the door keeps slamming

Now you're feeling more and more frustrated

And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

Chorus:

[We live and we learn to take

One step at a time

There's no need to rush

It's like learning to fly

Or falling in love

It's gonna happen and it's

Supposed to happen and we

Find the reasons why

One step at a time]

You believe and you doubt

You're confused, you got it all figured out

Everything that you always wished for

Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours

If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet

Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it

You know you can if you get the chance

In your face as the door keeps slamming

Now you're feeling more and more frustrated

And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus]

When you can't wait any longer

But there's no end in sight

when you need to find the strength

It's your faith that makes you stronger

The only way you get there

Is one step at a time

[Chorus x2]

24th August 2018:

Graham and I have decided to stop smoking, but are taking it one step at a time and with the help of anti smoking patches.

Could you all give us some help, so we do stop.

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

Photo of the Lone Peak 3.0 trekking shoes of a loved one and official Colorado Trail “Completer,” done in 32 days by 3 August 2018. At 2,000-2,500 steps per mile, she took an estimated total one million to 1,250,000 steps on her Colorado Trail 2018 Thru-Hike. And she only used one pair of shoes - these!!

"To all you 'Completers' – CONGRATULATIONS!!! Undertaking the entire 500-mile [804.7 km] Colorado Trail [Denver -> Durango] is no small thing, especially given its average elevation over 10,300 feet [3,139 m] and total climbing of some 90,000 vertical feet [17.04 miles or 27.4 km]. Completing the CT is a major accomplishment. We hope you had the experience of a lifetime.” - The Colorado Trail Foundation

HGGT! [Listening to Nickelback.] [See the LINE on BLACK!]

NOTE:

-This photo was processed by Michelle's action carnival set--Bluebell. [Correct link!]

***** [SERIOUS NOTE] *****

In my previous post, the link did not work. I immediately contacted Michelle and she told me that FLICKR canceled her account without warning because she violated the user agreement. I think Flickr did not like her photo stream because she was showing links in every post to her website where she was selling her action.

Please, support the artist and complain to Flickr that if in fact any of us violate the user agreement, to please let us know (warning) before they disable one's account, give the person a chance to correct the appropriate usage. Yahoo literally have made it impossible for Michelle to get back on because it seems like they also blocked the last few IP she logged on.

Take one step at a time

There's no need to rush

It's like learning to fly, or falling in love

It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen

And we find the reasons why

One step at a time

When you can't wait any longer

But there's no end in time

It's your faith that makes you stronger

The only way we get there

Is one step at a time

One Step at a TIme by Jordin Sparks

Really enjoying this new song. Just makes me feel so upbeat... so I'm sharing it with everyone. My 7/52 week SP... and thanks to all of my flickr friends who provide so much inspiration daily!! (This was inspired by Jamie Picture girl love your stuff!)

Encouraging others brings out the best in ourselves. These ladies stopped every few steps, yet kept strolling along. I hope to walk along the shore with a companion well into my senior years.

I hope you join me in receiving the gifts that are awaiting you in the year ahead.

Jordin Sparks Autograph.

My friend got this for me in one of her concerts. I was so freakin' excited. hahaha For those that doesn't know, the tattoo she's talking about is the whole chorus of her song "One step at a time", I tattoed on my back, is on my photostream here, you'll find it.

When Nicole ask her to give me an autograph Jordin knew who I was, that's so unbelieveable, Jordin Sparks is my hero, I love her with all my heart, her song helped me so much, thats why i tattoed. Jordin will always be one of THE most important ppl in my life, and she knows that.

Some days are harder than others

Sometimes I don't want to go to work. Some days I really don't want to walk across this bridge. And some days I don't even want to get out of bed

There are days when I have trouble with everything

But every day is progress. Every interaction is important

It doesn't matter if some steps are harder than others as long as I keep making them. I know I'm headed in the right direction ;)

Today i made a decision to go it alone, become a Self Employed Photographer. I am stepping out into the world and using the skills and qualifications i have gained and spent money on to...hopefully....earn me an income. (well the climate isn't that great for jobseekers like myself at the moment)

It is something my mum kept pushing me to do, she always had confidence in everything my sister, father and i did. So i have purchased myself a good camera, some good lenses and now to make something of myself. Push as hard as mum always pushed me and prove to her she was right to believe in me. She always said i had the skills to work for myself.....so here is to the start of a brighter future.
