The past couple of days have been an eye opener for me – and it’s been great to feel like my dreams and plans are coming into focus. You see, I’ve always been a dreamer and probably always will be! Sometimes it drives me a little nuts being the dreamer that I am, cause one day I’ll wake up and I think about opening a little shop that sells all my favorite items (cause then I’d get all my favorite items as a write off and everyone else can enjoy them too!), or the next day I wake up and think that being a graphic designer would be cool, then the next day I think that being a photographer is even cooler. Thankfully being a photographer has stuck around a whole lot longer then the days of dreaming of walking the tightrope in the circus as my profession (I’m not kidding, I used to try and walk across my mom’s clothes line!).
So, I wanted to start writing about my journey about finding my way. About the days where I feel a little lost, the days where I jump up and down in my office chair cause I love the images I’m staring at, and about the days where I drive home with a smile on my face cause I feel like I’ve just made a new life long friend. I want to share with you about my journey as a dreamer, cause I believe many of us are dreamers and don’t have their life plan figured out, and I wanted you to know, you’re not alone! I still sometimes dream about what it’d be like to be a parade float designer (I was about 8 years old when I decided I’d do that!). So follow along on my journey, I’d love to have some company!
I love the self-portrait you did! So great.
And I know exactly what you mean. I’m a dreamer too.
It’s really cool to watch as your business is growing and your dreams are starting to unfold more.
I’m glad to know you and be a part of your journey! : )
Aw Lesley this is so great! I’m so excited for you!
Sorry, I read this on my iPhone earlier so didn’t leave a comment. Love the concept and I think it turned out great! In fact, you’ve inspired me to do a self-portrait for our photo club this week. Awesome! P.S. I love the city lights peeking through the blinds. 🙂
So adorable Lesley! I love it.
Leslie, I love this! awesome self portrait! It reminds me of something I picked up in the UK years ago.. a sign for my home, called “Travellers Rest”. I too am a very big dreamer and still haven’t figured out my own life plan & I’ve had close to 1/2 a century!!! LOL Thanks so much for inspiring me and I am very much looking forward to our session this summer!
