POST INDEX

In November of 2018, I left my full time job to pursue photography full time. Every month since then I’ve blogged what I learned from the previous month. This is month 15. Do you ever get selective hearing? Maybe you’re reading a book and nodding along with the author until she says something you don’t […]

Going Full Time Month 15

I always love it when people say they practice yoga. Or they practice meditation. There’s a certain humility to the word practice. It insinuates a journey towards a level of proficiency that is earned over time with effort. It implies that you start out as a beginner, you’re not very good at it, and then […]

Going Full Time: Month 9

From our first email, I knew Kristin was someone I wanted to meet! She is a talented event planner, a clean living enthusiast and a world traveler. Her energy is contagious and her confidence and passion for the things she loves is addicting. I know I say this a lot, but I am so grateful […]
