Not just in the things that excite you, or on a day that centers around thanksgiving, or when everything is going your way. Because true thanksgiving doesn’t depend on circumstances or surroundings, and it isn’t something that lasts for a day and then disappears. It is gratitude from the heart to Jesus for everything He has done, and everything He has given you, whether easy or hard. It is contentment in what you have, however big or small; and what you’re going through, however wonderful or difficult. “Rejoice always, pray with out ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is…

Monday Inspiration
Feeling inspired lately to do more and try for more. It’s fun to try something new and have it work out…makes you feel pretty good. I have a few things I’m trying out and experimenting with in the way of work and business, and I’m just having fun with it! Speaking of design, I’m kind of in love with the images for this week. “It was always you”…so sweet. That paired with that gorgeous top-right image by Blush Photography…perfect. (She’s one of my very favorite photographers, by the way) And even better with that hand lettering. And the Measure Accounting…

It’s working out and I’m still going strong with NaNo, which I am so glad for! I…
Nevergall Family : Photoshoot
This was the first family photoshoot I’ve ever done, and even though I was a little nervous to begin with, it went so well and I am very happy with the shots we got! I’ve only ever done my own family’s photos, so taking someone else’s was a new but good experience. The kids are so sweet and did so well…each of them have the cutest smiles and it was fun catching them throughout our time. Previous to the shoot they were over at our house, and I ended up taking some lifestyle shots of the kids…there’s something about photographing…
