Comment on Live Big. Hope Lots. Work Hard. by Patti

Thank you, thank you, thank you.. I was looking around the internet, to see what Kind of Photographers there are in my area, and I came across the Destin Photographer. That led me to your blog.
I have been in love with photography since I was a little girl, my dad gave me a poloroid instant camera when I was 9.
It was love at first shutter snap. I have always taken pictures of family and friends with people telling me how wonderful they were and how I should do “that” for a living.
Recently I have made the choice to follow my heart and chase my dream. I was getting doubtful if this is really a good idea. Quit my job in a resession?!! Am I crazy?
Then I read what you wrote ” I have not been held back by my lack of degrees, my ethnicity, my sex, my race, nothing. The only force that has ever been in the way of my successes and had any bearing on my abilities to grow – were my own fears. Thank God, I have had dozens of great people in my life over the years that have convinced me to silence this voice of self doubt in my head and truly believe that the worst that could happen, is failing at something and being no better off than I was in the first place.”
I am not going to let my own fears hold me back.
Well said.
Thank you Patti

Oh, how I wish I would have been Barbie’s victim. It would have been her worst flight, not mine.

Thank you so much for the memories – I wish I had met Joe Sr. … I have a hunch though that I know someone with a very similar personality… Joe (Jr.) is a prankster!

My Son, Brian and his wife honored those who were not in attendance at their wedding by having a beautifully written list of names of those not in attendance framed at the entrance to the ceremony with a vase of flowers near by. Just an idea.. Best wishes to you both. Love, Sheryl

Amber and Joseph,
I met Joe,Sr., back then we called him “Handsome Joe” some 20-25 years ago, when he started trimming my horses feet. He often brought Joe with him to the job, you could tell how much Joseph loved that, not. Any way Joe, Mary Ellen, Tina, and Joseph became my Horse friends, even though I had ‘those crazy Arabians ” and they were well known in the Quarter Horse community. I have a story I would like to share with you about Joseph’s Dad if you don’t mind. He had many many friends and helped us all out many times.
The story involves a horse I had named Rocky, and yes, he was a crazy arabian. I have three sons and my husband was in the National
Guard and was called up for service overseas in 1991, the boys were in 9th grade, 7th grade, and 3rd. I also taught school and had 4 or 5 horses then . Mary Ellen and Joe graciously took Rocky to Laurel Hill and kept him in training for me for about 6 months, giving me pointers and helping me become a ‘Hand’ as they put it. Time came for Rocky to be shod for the first time and since I had raised him, he was my baby and I just knew he would give Joe a hard time and Joe hated for a horse to give him a hard time. I drove up to the barn worried to death that it had all gone wrong, no one was around, I went into Rocky’s stall and there he stood, an ace bandage around his neck, red stuff dripping off him and more BandAids than I had ever seen in my life….I cracked up and started hollering for Joe, who by the way was peeking through the boards from outside the stall to see my reaction. He was laughing as hard as I was. He was a best friend to many and one to me.
