Three weeks ago today, I packed up my car & left for my new adventure in Missoula, MT. Leaving everything I had known for the past 26 years behind. As I looked in my rear view mirror, I thought to myself “What are you thinking?” knowing I was driving away from family, friends, a great job, a life I had attempted to make for myself. There was a lot of soul searching in that 8 hour car ride, moments when a tear would fall because the fear of facing the unknown was so foreign to me. Then happy glimpses of this new life ahead of me & the excitement of the opportunities it may bring. Not sure if it was a knot in my stomach or butterflies during that car ride but I’m ok with never knowing. I still cannot answer the question of what I was thinking & that makes me smile. What brings me comfort each day is that I did it; I actually DID something for myself instead of THINKING about it. I am here, in this moment!
The Rocky Mountain School of Photography is an amazing place & I feel so lucky to be learning from the best of the best. Each day I am a sponge, soaking up all the knowledge that is shared & I can see that this is where I need to be right now. Missoula is a wonderful place full of Cowboys, Hippies & everything in between, I’m not sure where I will end up next but know that this American Woman is pursuing Greatness!
“The pursuit of Greatness is always daring and calls fourth our true potential. Never underestimate your power for the greatness!”
