#91 The Reconnect Series - Reconnect With A Camera
Capture What Matters
Photography for me runs so much deeper than making memories. I've realized that when I pick up a camera something inside me shifts, and I feel good. Even if my photos are terrible, I feel good inside There is an intentional shift of perspective that happens when I look through a camera lens. And I begin to see the world around me differently I get out of my head, and into my heart.

#90 The Reconnect Series - Reconnect With Curiosity
Capture What Matters
Somewhere during pandemic life that days started to all string together and feel the same. So I just stopped capturing everything. I do miss the feeling of picking up my camera, but for some reason I struggle with looking for the perfect reason or occasion or moment to begin capturing life consistently again. When I get stuck like this...Instead of listening to the voice in my head that's on a loop telling me to "just pick up the stupid camera and capture something..." I get curious. And you can too!

Lately I've finally felt the fog of the past year ever so sloooooowly lift so I can reconnect with my dreams. What I've discovered through this exploration is a deep desire to help other moms like you reconnect with your dreams too. For us moms., this has been a year of survival mode. We are out of practice. With everything. So instead of getting back on a bike and going full speed ahead with our calendars, our conversations, and our creativity...how about we get back on a tricycle instead?

info_outlineNever in my wildest imagination did I expect to be broadcasting right now while quarantined at home.
We're currently on day 13 of my daughter being home from school, and our governor here in Virginia just made the call that schools will be closed until the fall. At the very least, a lot of our friends and their kids are grieving.
And rightfully so. There's a lot of sadness and uncertainty right now.
Because our reality right now is not ever something my imagination could have dreamed up as even remotely possible during this lifetime.
Even though they are not the same, I find myself comparing the Covid 19 Pandemic to our pregnancy loss back in 2009. The trauma of both of these scenarios then and now are real. We had expectations and plans – we had imagined how life would be. And now the reality of what's actually unfolding is totally different. It’s tragic and disappointing.
But the cool thing about imagination is that we can use it to shift our perspective even during the hardest moments and find the good again.
Be gentle with yourself.
Be gentle with yourself on the days that you can't get out of pajamas.
Be gentle with yourself when you can't wear all the hats of mom, teacher, CEO, nurse – all of them at once.
Be gentle with yourself when you watch the news and anxiety strikes.
When you're gentle, you soften, shift your perspective and use your imagination again. When you’re gentle you allow yourself to see the good that still exists.
I promise there is a gift in the eye of this pandemic and today's episode I know will help you not only to look for it but to capture it from behind the lens of your camera.
