Washington DC

This week I had the privilege of being able to visit our nation's capital with some of my favorite people, my friend Brandon and my friend Jim. We walked all of the monuments that we could in the center of town. My goal was to photograph some new places, faces and spaces. It was a great way to revive the senses while providing photography tips for Jim, as he was working on an assignment for his new photography class. It was a wonderfully sunny, warm day that made you want to do anything but go back inside.

Take a moment to smell the roses every once in a while. Even if it means taking a day off of work to do so. You never know what you might find. Or you might just wish you were the bird splashing around in the fountain in the WWII memorial that I found.

Either way just don't forget to live!

Could you?

Can you lay your life down so a stranger can live?
Can you take what you need but take less than you give?
Can you close every day without the glory and fame?
Could you hold your head high when no one knows your name?

That’s how legends are made, at least that’s what they say.

We say goodbye, but never let go
We live we die, cuz you can’t save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to
show that you’re the kinda man who
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go

Can you lose everything you ever had planned?
Can you sit down again, and play another hand?
Could you risk every thing, for the chance of being alone?
Under pressure find the grace, or would you come undone.

That’s how legends are made, at least that’s what they say.

We say goodbye, but never let go
We live we die, cuz you can’t save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to
show that you’re the kinda man who
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go


~For so many reasons from this week, this is such an important and meaningful song for me.
Could you lay your life down for a friend with the chance of losing everything? I hope those that are fighting
for us across seas and worlds apart from us remain safe and sound until it is their time to return home.
I sit here and watch the snow fall and wonder why things happen...but I have to continue to believe that
they happen for a reason! I am so blessed to have the friends that I do. To know that you are loved is one
of the greatest feelings in the world. I hope I can live my life truly inspired every day!!
