At the end of each year I like to take some time to reflect on the past year before it becomes ancient history. With this fast paced world that we have developed, it seems that years flip by like minutes and we don’t spend much time looking back. We focus on tomorrow and today. That is good to some degree but our past is what makes us who we are.
To say I feel blessed is an understatement. I may not be a millionaire but I am rich in so many ways that I thank the stars above every night. This past year was filled with family, friends, travel and work. I don’t have an assistant so each and every email, workshop, seminar and eBook is created by, given by or answered by me. It can be overwhelming at times but then I look at my overall life, and smile…I would not want it any other way!
I’d like to take this time to thank all of my loyal followers, workshop participants, blog supporters, affiliates, sponsors, family and friends. Your continued support of my work is what keeps me going. Every time I think about how lucky I am to be at a location, I remember that you are the reason it is possible. So thank you again.
The pictures below represent only a small portion of my adventures form this past year. I love photography and it has become an extension of who I am, I embrace it more than you could know. BUT as time goes on, I realize that the entire experience is what I relish from my travels. I like to try to live in the moment and be aware of my surroundings. I am very lucky to be able to see so many parts of our beautiful world. When travelling, I urge everyone to put down your phones, get off of social media and engage in where you are and what you are doing. Spend time with others-enjoy all the sights and sounds and most of all, take time to enjoy each and every breath that you have been given.
I was brought up celebrating Christmas, I like to celebrate the day just as I did for many years as a child, it brings back great memories. So for those of you that celebrate Christmas, I’d like to wish you a Very Merry Christmas. For those who don’t celebrate Christmas or any other holiday I wish you a time of peace and happiness filled with love and family. A Very Happy Hanukkah to those that celebrate Hanukkah. Happy Winter Solstice, Happy Kwanzaa for those that celebrate Kwanzaa.
Below is a collection of some of my favorites from this past year. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed capturing them.
I have a few spots left on my Norway Aurora workshop for March 2021. Also, my Camargue, France 2021 in June has some openings. Both of these workshops are terrific. I love Norway in winter and the Camargue horses never disappoint!
