Day 183 - Survivor 

5/3/2014

This year the all night walk for a cure meant more to me than ever before.
Cancer has always been a part of my life.
As a child I lost my father to it and over the years I have watched as family members and friends have fought this nasty disease.  I have supported and cheered on family and friends from the sidelines.  This year is different.  When you sit beside someone actually going through it and you help them day in and day out it takes on a different meaning.  I thought I hated cancer before  (and those of you that know me know I NEVER use the word HATE - it is too strong and too powerful), but now I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that I absolutely HATE cancer.  It is vicious and evil.

To all those out there fighting the fight, I wish I could take it away from you.
But for now I will walk for you.
I will think of you.
I will pray for you.
I will do what I can for you.
And I will hate cancer for you EVER.SINGLE.DAY of my life.
One of my best friends and survivors of 3 years, walking in the survivor lap with her husband.

    Project 365

    Am I insane?  Have I lost my mind?  After thinking long and hard about it (OK, really I only thought about it for about 12 hours) I just committed to doing a photo a day for a year - a 365 'they' call it.  This is going to be SUPER HARD for me. Not the photo part, but the editing part. I mean you guys KNOW how far behind I am.  A photo a day - that doesn't sound like much, but in reality, who are we kidding?  Anyway  I'm going to TRY to post each day, but there will be times I might be MIA for a couple of days, just bear with me and I will catch up.

    One of my goals throughout this 365 is to be able to shoot anything I want to in manual. The next is to have fun capturing this next crazy year of our life. In the next 365 you will see: at least 2 more countries, a HS graduation, an international move to most likely 2 different states, the heartbreak of a mom as she sends her first born off to college and so much more....

    Please make sure you cheer me on after all I am a "Words of Affirmation" girl. :o)
