Through this blogging journey, I am going to go from wishing to actually doing. I am going to turn my dreams into a reality. I am tired of sitting by the sidelines, waiting for someone to call me into the game. I am going to strap on my big girl pants and charge in. Taking the initiative is going to be the first step. I am scared to death, but I need to do this now! No one is going to push me to do this, I have to push myself. I have realized my goals, and dreams and there is no going back. This is what I want, and I will settle for nothing less. Obviously, I have more to think about and more to do than just photography, but I need to take the first steps.
I have certain steps and goals that I need to complete before any of this can be started. Blogging about everything is just going to be a way to hold me accountable, keep me motivated, and inspired to achieve these goals.
