You can be the change in the world. It starts by changing yourself, letting God turn your viewpoint away from you and onto the world around you.

my best party animal buddy had her 22 birthday last week and had a marvelous masquerade party!
putting the candles on the cake..
john made his signature espresso drinks. =}
absolutely delicious food: shiskabobs, coconut rice and salad.
we played a hilarious take on hot potato. we set the camera on timer and passed the camera around the circle. you had to hold the camera facing you as in a self portrait and then pass it on to the next person. the person that the timer went off on and subsequently took a photo of had to share an embarrassing moment!
happy 22nd to one of my best friends in the world. i don’t know what i would do without you. <3

Are you wishing you could be part of something bigger? Something beyond yourself? You’re not sure how to reach out and be that, not sure where to start? This is the book for you.
Blake Mycoskie, who wrote the book, “Start Something that Matters” founded the TOMS Shoe company in 2006. The idea of TOMS is simple and yet the core of the company: “With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One.”
In this book, Blake shares how his company became a raging success in fashion, and has provided shoes for over one million children in need. Blake starts out his book by sharing his story – the mistakes, successes, joys, pains and all, and then goes on to help you find your story. To figure out what defines you and what you what do to. But more importantly, why you want to do it. He encourages you to face your fears – with real life examples of people who did, and conquered, and became part of a movement that matters.
The book is not full of tips of what to do and what not to do, but rather finding the core of “why”. Why you want to start something that matters, because the strongest and most successful people, businesses and charities in the world have centered themselves around why they do what they do, not what it is they do. Then he leads on to show you how incorporating giving into a central part of who you are, who your business or charity is, can change your life and the world.
Blake focuses on key core values such as being resourceful, having open, honest communication, simplicity, and of course giving back. But this book is mostly about finding you. Finding what you believe in, and why. It is an inspiring book that makes being part of a movement that makes a difference, whether small or large, reachable and tangible to everyone out there.. you. Not just people with lots of contacts and money and resources, but every single one of us. You and I can be part of the change in the world, and for you, it could start by reading this book.
Today I had two absolutely fabulous photo sessions. First a sunrise engagement session with a fun and gorgeous couple..
And then a super rad fashion session with my brother-in-law in the classy town of Charlotte..
Can’t wait to share the others with you.. so stay tuned! Have an fabulous rest of the weekend..!
…she breathes the air and flies away
she thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses
in no simple language – Someday she’ll understand the meaning of it all…
He’s more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday she’ll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He’ll call her and she will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she’ll pray,
“I want to fall in love with You”
Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it calls to the people
who stare into nowhere, and can’t feel the chains on their souls
He’s more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on our lips
Someday we’ll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He’ll call us and we will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and we’ll pray,
“I want to fall in love with You”
It seems too easy to call you “Savior”,
Not close enough to call you “God”
So as I sit and think of words I can mention
to show my devotion
“I want to fall in love with You”
