Moving Downstream

I saw discovered this clip on Facebook tonight, and it got my heart racing...



For years, I told friends that -- although I knew it was totally unlogical -- I firmly believed that what's best will happen. I remember talking about this during high school & college. I have always believed that what's best will happen. In more recent years, my beliefs have evolved into the knowledge that I always get what I expect. What's best will happen for me PRECISELY BECAUSE I expect it. I try to maintain positive thoughts, and incredible things have happened in my life. I'm not perfect, and there are certainly days & weeks when I get off track & spend time shooting off new rockets of desire, but the core of me believes that people are good & good things always come to me.

I totally resonate with what Will Smith says because it has happened to me. I made the choice. I know who I am and who I am becoming. The downstream things in my life have come to me, and obstacles have moved around me, just like water.

I feel extremely fortunate for the birth & re-birth of Serendipity Images. Serendipity Images was born as a photography business specializing in macro & floral photography. Over the past year, Serendipity Images was re-born specializing in photographing couples. I decided what I wanted, and the Universe brought it to me. Case in point: I booked 6 weddings before ever shooting one. It is my first year of weddings, and I love it. Not only that, I think I'm pretty darn good at it. I am always getting better -- I hope that if I'm still photographing weddings 20 years from now, that I still continue to grow after each & every wedding I photograph.

I know who I am. I can create whatever I want in my life. I love juicy tangelos, mint tea, & red wine. I love lazy days in bed, reading a book with the window open & rain falling outside. I love giddily walking hand-in-hand with Bob on weekend-getaways. I love the thrill of discovery. I love listening to my intuition & ending up somewhere unexpected & fabulous. I love the way my heart speeds up when a bride walks down the aisle, and again at the first kiss. I love the connection I feel with my awesome clients, and how naturally they each came to me. I am patient. I will let cars in front of me in traffic. I can often be found staring up at back-lit clouds. I love the smell of spring in the air, and seeing a hummingbird delicately perched on a branch. I love the feel of my freshly washed bamboo sheets. I love live music & the way I can feel it course through my veins. I love the knowledge that what's best will happen, now & forever, because this is my path.
