Rolling eyes and FINALLY….a deep sigh! I tell myself…I can’t do this…maybe this just isn’t my thing. I can’t even keep my focus. I stepped away for days. While I was away, I changed gears and started thinking about want I really wanted.
I made a list of photographers who inspired me to pick up a camera. I stalked their websites for days. I realize what made me fall in love with them and their work…after hours of reading their blogs and viewing their pictures…I remember how much I loved being a bride…I got a glimpse of their personal lives…I felt connected and I have never met any of these photographers before. So I stocked my blog for days…reread posts and pictures…I said to myself…WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THE CONNECTION? DO MY BRIDES AND BLOG READERS FEEL A CONNECTION? How could they Toya…. you don’t even see it. I decided it was time for a change.
In order to make this change I needed to reflect on who Toya was and the type of person Toya wanted to be. I decided major changes needed to be made SPIRITUALLY, personally, and professionally.
It’s 2011: TOYA’S YEAR OF CHANGE….Are you ready? I AM!!! So let’s begin…
