I feel like I have sort of started it but I am still unpacking and putting things away from my previous one. Aside from all I have reported, I have been working hard to tidy up the last of the two weddings I photographed and it is has been SO hard. 1) I burnt my hand pretty severely with a hot glue gun a couple of weeks ago and the wound ended up getting infected and then 2) emotionally I feel like the wedding edits are taking their toll on me because I am feeling the tug in my heart to not completely leave it behind. One of my best friends (at work) said to me that I don't have to stop doing the photography work all together and this just has to be a break maybe but I know of my own heart and my own creative processes that it does have to be a clean break and then don't turn back. Don't get me wrong - I will still be flexing my photography skills but as far as it being a business? That part has to be done. And because it has to be done, I know there will be a lot less opportunities for me to do it because that's just how it works: when you don't make time for things, there won't be the time for them. I am so blessed by the affirmation you have given me because lately I have been feeling like I am recovering from a bad break up where I was the one who made the break!

I hope you have a peaceful, restful break and return to your students with all the Lord has given you to share. <br /> God Bless, Cynthia S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
