Smith Family Ice Cream Scoop: Photography blah blah blah....

Photography blah blah blah....

I've been worried sick about getting ready for the Fallow Field Farm Marketplace that I'm doing a booth for this Saturday... I picked up the notecards with my photography on them today. They look good, but I noticed when I got home that they forgot to put my name on the back. Sigh... I'll try to find time tomorrow to go talk to the printer about that. I also got my big prints delivered today too, and I put them in the frames. I only cut 4 of my fingers with the glass. ;) They look really good... I'm telling you, when you spend $100 on prints, you sweat it a little bit. Please please please come if you can! Bring your friends! Come see me and my big beautiful prints, so I don't feel silly that nobody is stopping at my booth. ;)

I had one photoshoot on Sunday, 2 on Monday, and one tonight... it's photography week, I guess! OH! And I found out The Edge magazine will be using one of the photos of the graveyard that I took as the cover, and another for the article that I took them for. :) Maybe someday I'll actually be somebody in the photography world! (A girl can dream, can't she? ;)

I wish I could come to your booth and see all your gorgeous stuff, but I am here waiting for a birth, so I can't go anywhere.

I am so proud of you - you can do anything you set your mind to do!; 10:53 PM

haley said...: wow!!! not just a magazine, but the COVER??? that is awesome! and you ARE someone in the photo world, you just don't know it yet. i have a LOT of friend photographers and they all spy on your photography site for inspiration and they about died when i told them how long you'd been doing it. and if they can't print your name on the back i think you should personally sign them!!! ahhh.... i can't wait to play with everyone on saturday and see everything that is there!!!; 7:24 AM

To Do Today

* Embrace this day with an enthusiastic welcome, no matter how it looks. The covenant with God to which you are true enables you to become enlightened by him, and nothing is impossible for you.
* When you are physically sick, tired, or in despair, steer your thoughts away from yourself and direct them, in gratitude and love, toward God.
* In your life there have to be challenges. They will either bring you closer to God and therefore make you stronger, or they can destroy you. But you make the decision of which road you take.
* First and foremost, you are a spirit child of God. If you neglect to feed your spirit, you will reap unhappiness. Don't permit anything to detract you from this awareness.
* You cannot communicate with God unless you have first sacrificed your self-oriented natural man and have brought yourself into the lower levels of meekness, to become acceptable for the Light of Christ.
* Put all frustrations, hurt feelings, and grumblings into the perspective of your eternal hope. Light will flow into your soul.
* Pause to ponder the suffering Christ felt in the Garden of Gethsemane. In the awareness of the depth of gratitude for him, you appreciate every opportunity to show your love for him by diligently serving in his Church.
* God knows that you are not perfect. As you suffer about your imperfections, he will give you comfort and suggestions of where to improve.
* God knows better than you what you need. He always attempts to speak to you. Listen, and follow the uncomfortable suggestions that he makes to us--everything will fall into its place.
* Avoid any fear like your worst enemy, but magnify your fear about the consequences of sin.
* When you cannot love someone, look into that person's eyes long enough to find the hidden rudiments of the child of God in him.
* Never judge anyone. When you accept this, you will be freed. In the case of your own children or subordinates, where you have the responsibility to judge, help them to become their own judges.
* If someone hurts you so much that your feelings seem to choke you, forgive and you will be free again.
* Avoid at all cost any pessimistic, negative, or criticizing thoughts. If you cannot cut them out, they will do you harm. On the road toward salvation, let questions arise but never doubts. If something is wrong, God will give you clarity but never doubts.
* Avoid rush and haste and uncontrolled words. Divine light develops in places of peace and quiet. Be aware of that as you enter places of worship.
* Be not so much concerned about what you do, but do what you do with all your heart, might, and strength. In thoroughness is satisfaction.
* You want to be good and to do good. That is commendable. But the greatest achievement that can be reached in our lives is to be under the complete influence of the Holy Ghost. Then he will teach us what is really good and necessary to do.
* The pain of sacrifice lasts only one moment. It is the fear of the pain of sacrifice that makes you hesitate to do it.
* Be grateful for every opportunity to serve. It helps you more than those you serve.
* And finally, when you are compelled to give up something or when things that are dear to you are withdrawn from you, know that this is your lesson to be learned right now. But know also that, as you are learning this lesson, God wants to give you something better.
