Yesterday I received a package from a great California company, DNL Photo Packaging. I was thrilled to see my lovely logo imprinted in silver on the aqua blue boxes. It’s like another “imprint” of another step forward in my new business. Thank you, Lord, for your provisions.
An extreme inspiration to me this year as I’ve started my photography business, is photographer Sarah Rhoads in Seattle. She simply discovers the value in people and exposes that through photography. I believe Sarah is so good at this because she’s first discovered the value of who she is and maintains a humble heart along the way; and all the while, possibly without knowing, she deposits a little bit of her wonder-self in others around her, which perpetuates the motivation to value others. This is what her work has done for me -stirs in me to value myself and others around me for who we are and what we have to give to each other. May my work always give to others more than they deserve and more than they expect… because they are worth it! 
Sarah has extended the invitation to all to submit their self-portrait to her before Dec. 20th and she’ll post them before the new year. (email her at consulting@sarahrhoads.com) Here is my 2009 self-portrait. Thanks so much, Sarah! May God bless you and your business even more!
