...than following your passion. this photo is of a mom. a musician. a woman, ashley gramins, who is following her passion and has created a CD called MAMA ROCKS. i've hinted at this before in my blog and am just hinting again for now...once i know her CD is released and for sale, i'll provide more details (but it really does rock!)

so...for the moment, it's just all about following your passion. it's so important. life is too short not to. ashley is a great example of someone who is following her passion--taking a risk in the music industry. my friend, erin vey, is another example--deciding to focus her photography business on dog photography. i'm another example--ending my nursing career to pursue photography. we all took risks but risks worth taking b/c what we were pursuing was our passion.

it's a great thing. it's a scary thing. but, i think we all should look deep inside ourselves to try and figure out what our passion is and then...if at all possible, go for it.

i love what i do. i'm thankful i took the risk. and i can honestly say that photography is my passion.
