It was 11am and a perfectly overcast morning for photos. Sarah and Nick came over for a few quick photos infront of the willow tree in our yard as a gift for Nick’s mother Rosemarie. I just LOVE willow trees and I refuse to let Marc cut it down, even though he says, I quote “It looks like death“. I, on the other hand think it’s gorgeous and makes for a really pretty backdrop for photos! We only had a few minutes, but we did get some cute poses in
. These two are so crazy cute together ! 
I am so fortunate to be able to do what I LOVE as a business full time for the past few years. To be able to create photographs that document the people I meet and the connections they share together, it really is priceless. When I meet others, who do not have the same luxury in their life, I feel for them. I sure know what life is like behind a desk, feeling as though life has been stripped from your days. If you think back to when you were a child, you likely had HUGE dreams. For me, it sure changed a few times, but always related back to something creative, and included my love for animals. I wanted to be a veterinarian, then a pilot, an artist, an architect, a photographer, an interior designer, and so many other things. I never allowed myself to stop dreaming. I always knew things would work out, someway, somehow, and I would live the life I dreamed of. If I wasn’t happy with how things were going, all I had to do was make a change, and things would start going down a different path. And you know what?… it always did. I feel lucky to have this outlook on life. The sad reality is, eventually, most people forget what it’s like to dream. Day to day turns into year to year, and you wonder what happened with your life. People always think, “If I could change one thing.. I would have… “. Most people don’t realize that they can change anything, in an instant and tomorrow does not exist in past tense. Your life is YOURS and you can create what you want, and around what is important to you.
I met Nick a few months ago now. And for that, I will be forever grateful. We met at a coffee shop and he presented an international business he is expanding in the Maritimes to me. I was blown away by the simplicity of it and the possibilities this business can provide anyone who gets involved. Most of all, to create a positive impact on our economy and the families in it. I knew, right then, Marc and I had to be part of this. It was much bigger than just us. I truely believe there are no coincidences in life. The people that you meet, the places you go, it all has a direct connection to where your life will take you.
The one thing I have learned in my many years in business is the most expensive thing you can own is a closed mind based on the knowledge you have gained from other peopleDo your OWN life, your way and you will be happy! Thank you, Nick, for reminding me of this. And I look forward to the next few years ahead!
