    Capture the Moment

    Pictures are a way of capturing a special moment in our lives, whether it’s a professional picture for a headshot, a fun picture to celebrate a birthday, or pictures that commemorate a moment. Recently, my cousin encouraged me and some friends to work on a project called “Day in the Life.” Day in the Life is a one-day documenting project to record everyday life stories, the basics of your life right now. In preparation for this day, I set reminders throughout the day to take pictures and journal. As I took pictures and wrote little notes about my day, I realized the importance of capturing moments. Life moves so quickly,…

    Beauty in the Pivot

    This morning I got up and I went back and forth on whether I should go for a bike ride. I hadn’t ridden my bike all week. I truly didn’t feel like going, but something told me to push anyway. My initial thought was it was too late in the day and it would therefore be too hot to go (yes, it’s in the 80s here, sigh), since I didn’t get up early and go, but I went anyway. Well of course when I went outside and the sun was beaming on me, I said to myself, “was this a good idea?” Lol. Needless to say I went on riding…
