Five Birthdays for My 3 Girls

Five years.  Five.  My 3 Girls Photography is five years old and my, how we’ve grown together!  I stand back, like the proud momma that I am, cross my arms, make summations and notes of how much I have learned, expanded, empowered, and changed throughout this life as a business person, as an entrepreneur, as a woman with artistic vision and compassionate grit.  It has been quite the ride thus far and I get a thrill out of where I am yet to grow, go, create, and with whom.  That’s the stuff dreams are made of! 


In retrospect, I’ve felt overwhelmed, consumed, even unbalanced at times.  I’ve felt defeated at other times.  Sleepless nights of worry, sweat and a few tears (well, maybe more than a few) have been shed in the name of creating My 3 Girls Photography.  The creative ego can go through some tireless turbulence.  But, I have also witnessed true, heartfelt joy, inspired human connection, the flow of creative energy surging, and the sense of accomplishing something bigger than myself.  I’ve had the overall sense of spiritual fulfillment while creating a business that seeks to serve others.  Being in charge of my own business is something deep rooted within me.  I’ve had plenty of jobs working for others, and I never felt “at home,” or at ease.  I’m convinced that working for myself is what God has intended for me.  I get a positive charge, if you will, from the challenges I face as an entrepreneur; from the lessons learned, by stretching my limits, and taking risks.  I flourish in this way.  I do know this way of living isn’t for everyone and I certainly respect that.  Believe me, if anyone has questioned this fact it would be me and, I’d go so far as to venture, probably every other self-made business owner has too.  


Yet, another true confession to spill in this blog post. . .  I dream about creating a non-profit organization one day.  It’s something that meshes with my fabric - giving to those less fortunate, raising up humanity, offering hope.  It is what gives meaning to life when we are looking out for and serving one another.  I just may get the gumption to take this goal on one day.  Who knows.  But, until that day arrives, I’d like to offer another way for you and I to celebrate together.  Let’s have a Pay-it-Forward party!!!  I started a fundraising campaign in order to make contributions to five of my favorite non-profit organizations growing and thriving; serving the greater good.  They are doing great work and could use a boost in the name of celebration!  I know I have told you how much I love a great party and any excuse to throw a good one, I’m there!  So, why not?!  Let’s give this one a GO!!!  Five for Five!!!
