Only Life

Dear Readers,

I apologize for my lack of updating and blogging as of late. I have been rather busy with school, editorial and product shoots, and planing my wedding (!!!!!!), but please believe me when I tell you that I have missed you all very very much!! I depend so much upon your support and your love for my work, and I don't want any of you to believe for a second that I don't appreciate you.

Today I am very still. To be honest, I'm exhausted from another night of being unable to fall asleep. However, I have many shots from my shoot with Victoria still to edit and share, as well as the new editorial with Brianna, the second half of our last editorial, annnnnnd a product shot that I will reveal here hopefully by the end of the month!!! So you can all smile and hope, as I do, that I will soon me sharing lovely lovely images with you.

Besides the editorials, I also have images from my trip to Virginia to edit and share, as well as more images from Europe (I know, 6 months ago, but I STILL haven't had time to go through them all and edit them... If that doesn't say something about how hectic my life has been recently, nothing will haha)!!! I REALLY REALLY REALLY can't wait to share more images with you all!!! Your feedback is appreciated so so very much by me.

Also, just a quick update, I sell my photos on ETSY now!!! I currently have 10 prints listed, however I DO TAKE CUSTOM orders!!! So please please please go check my listings out and email me if you want me to make you a custom listing!!! Nothing would give me greater joy!!! :) Remember that prints make great gifts for all occasions and that my prints are guaranteed to last for at least 100 years!!

Unfortunately I have to leave you all now, I have to go to class, but I will leave you with a positive thought and a new image! :)


Thank you all again for your continued support!! And don't forget to check out my etsy ;)

Have a great rest of your day and remember to smile, for it is only life.
With my love,
AK

Fact: No one can ruin your day without your permission.

I let someone ruin my day today. I was having a great day. I was happy, talking to the man I'm madly in love with, getting ready to leave tomorrow, and enjoying a rather successful outing with a family member.

Then I let someone, a friend, ruin it. They lashed out in a moment of personal frustration, and I let the barbed words to wrap their hooks deep within my heart and squeeze until all the happiness, the joy, had oozed from my heart. I gave the words the power to hurt, the power to destroy, so they did.

Words are an amazing and terrifying thing. They describe emotions and objects, yet without the power we give them, words would be meaningless, useless. The word "love" does not dictate the heart's fluttering, rather it represents the connection we associate with the emotion.

Be careful how much power you allow words to have over you.

I have been told that my blogs are too impersonal, so today I am letting you all see what I think. What I have felt. Please be kind. 

β€œThree things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.” -Henry James


I hope you are all enjoying rather lovely weekends. I wish you all the best of luck as you re-enter the work week.

Thank you.
