It was amazing! And Hello!
Thursday night I took baby photos of a little baby that just had open heart surgery and is just now out of the hospital. To see the results of this miracle after taking this couples wedding and engagement photos...it was touching. And to see that baby strong in spirit and most assuredly the "mama" of the house was inspiring. What a complete honor to get to take her photos. A true little princess.
Friday night I had a surprise call and was asked to shoot photos at the African American museum of art. The kids in the play outdid themselves and it was very uplifting to be a part of. I followed it up by a handmade meal made for me. Then I stayed up all night, working just to get a call at 6AM right when I was going to sleep..
I got invited at the last minute to be a part of one of the most beautiful things in life. I was asked to go into the delivery room of my good friend and take photos of the birth of her grandchild. What an honor!! I enjoyed it so much and wanted to tell everyone that we just had a baby! I was looking to candy cigars to hand out I was so explosive with love!
Then, I drove to Austin and as I started out on the radio came a song that I had just hours before asked my friend to sing live for me. I had spoken how I had not heard it in forever and loved it. She sang it...then hours later I got to hear it out of the blue on the radio. Along the trip I saw saw these amazing birds that kept me entranced for about 1/2 mile. I have never seen anything like this. It looked like millions of birds. Then I arrived where I relaxed as my friend cut 2 singles in the recording studio. I had a heartfelt discussion with this most amazing woman who for some reason just meshed with the train of thought I have been on as of late. It was spirit lifting. Just wonderful to talk to an artist of her caliber and share.
I was fed some of the best clean food you can imagine and enjoyed cuisine from a different walk of life. I was made fresh and vitamin filled bran muffins with cranberries in it for breakfast and this amazing shake made out of fresh yogurt and Turkish concentrated yogurt, lemon and sea salt. Followed by the best herb filled shake. All the bottles from whole foods with amino acids and such were in it. It tasted so yummy, I could have drank 3 glasses. It started my day just right!!
Then in the morning, I was privileged to take photos of a intriguing woman in the french nude style. She is seriously beautiful inside and out. I also took some photos for her album she is trying to get together. Then I received a full body massage and healing for about an hour and a half. Rode back here to home and was greeted by my other friend making the most amazing food for me. I felt like Ia princess myself. IT was just nice to be back in town.
I came home and my daughter was here...which is an accomplishment seeing the last few times I had to leave, this teenage gal of mine had decided to run. So to come home to my household in order with my teenage son also cooking a meal of potato's, broccoli, and grilled chicken for him and his friends...well even better. Just to see it all happening.
Then I now am sitting here feeling so connected and at peace. Looking through my photos and don't have a clue what to start first. I thought if I spoke how wonderful this all was in words I might be able to organize my thoughts.
My kids are sleeping and the littlest has a friend over and there was not a fuss at bedtime. All is quiet and all I can hear is this tapping on my keyboard.
Life is good!!
