So two things happened at about the same time.
We got back to our lives after spending close to a month in the hospital,
and Texas School began.
Texas School. It's one of the largest week-long workshops for photographers. You choose your instructor and have an intense week with your chosen person. It's intense. It's more information than you could imagine. It's more fun than you could imagine and it's more love than you can imagine.
I couldn't attend this year. Between the house flooding and the husband in the hospital, there simply was no time to even think about it. Fortunately, I was on a volunteer committee for the Texas PPA Awards Ceremony which was the night before.
Fortunately again, my husband sets up some equipment for one of my friends who teaches there. This gave us all the excuses to spend time AT Texas School even though we weren't IN Texas School!
So why the initial "two things happened" statement?
Because I got to spend time through three days with friendtographers from all over the United States. I got to make NEW friends. I got to hug on people that I see once or twice a year. And you know what was amazing?
Every one of them asked about my husband if he wasn't there. They were really concerned and really loved on him when he WAS there. The love and compassion that I saw during the past three days was just astounding. Simply hugs and one hundred percent support from people I'm not around that much. People that saw on social media that we have been dealing with things and that stopped their scroll long enough to not only read it, but process it and think about it out of context. That's pretty freaking cool.
So as I begin this week, I begin it with more gratitude and love than I normally do. It's my reminder to really be mindful of that going forward even though I don't have a thousand hello hugs every day from friends. I'm going to really focus on knowing how much support my friendtographers show us. Because it was incredible.
ALSO...
Since I'm filling up the model spots for the I Can Love Myself Better Portraits...
It's the perfect timing to be so grateful and mindful and simply celebratory from my soul. I think it will make these portraits EVEN MORE AMAZING with the absolute joy that I feel...
