As a stay at home mother, I've been told what I do is less significant than say a mom who works the typical mon-fri 9-5 job. I've been told being a stay at home mommy is not a REAL job. I've been told that I have no identity. I've been told that I am less enjoyable because I always have a child with me. Back many years ago this is all women knew. Stay at home and cook, clean, do the laundry, teach the children, bath them, cloth them, feed them, play with them. These women were quite possibly your grandmothers or great-grandmothers. Would you walk up to them and tell them that what they did was not good enough in your eyes? I love that I can stay home with my children, and I also feel as though its a blessing that I've been blessed to be able to do!! I have hobby's and other interest that I do well in. My best profession is being a mommy first. I think its a shame that people in society still today always try to look down upon the lesser man (or women.) When will people let go of their own negative outlook on life and learn to love their own? The ups the downs, the goods the bad's, the dark and lonely, the happy and healthy!! Nothing in life can ever go as you {plan} for. If you plan for everything you set yourself up for disappointment when things don't go as you plan.
Being a stay at home mommy has allowed me to learn that there are so many area's of life that I just ADORE!! Photography is one for me that has taken off and is blossoming into a business!! I have had a lot of negative hits while trying to start up my business. I have been told that being a photographer is not a REAL job. I have been told my portfolios are less than par. I have been told my photos are not creative enough. I have been accused of "stealing" ideas! If everyone in life let one comment or another bring them down and make them want to quit than their dream wasn't really a dream at all!! I have fought so hard to be where I am at in life. Will I ever say that it happened over night or that it was easy...NO WAY!!! Doors open and slam several times over the duration of life, staying positive is the only way to get through them!
I guess some would ask why I would even blog about the negativity that has been thrown my way, but my only answer is that, its real life, and its what happens to people who are trying to accomplish a dream. Staying positive about who I am and what makes me |me| is why I will continue with my dreams. People will always knock you down, its |you| who decides whether to get back up or not!!!
So with that being stated and said as my introduction to my blog, I will tell you that I plan to use this blog as my journey as a photographer and mommy!! I will be doing a picture a day along with my blog. I hope that I am able to experience enough inspiration in everyday so that I may share that inspiration daily!!
My first |picture a day| will begin tomorrow!!!
I haven't been able to figure out how to post songs to my blog yet so I'll post a video!! I love this song!! And its great when your feeling down or bullied!!
