2020 Pom Season

Leave a Comment

This school year has certainly been a crazy one! My daughter hasn’t stepped foot in a classroom since the middle of March. Middle school sports were all canceled this Fall, but her pom squad was still allowed to meet and practice for competitions that are held outside of school. This has been one constant thing in her life this school year that is keeping her motivated!

Unfortunately, the first of their three competitions was canceled. The second one took place as scheduled (without spectators), but her squad had to drop out at the last minute due to an injury on their team. The third competition was virtual this year. The girls recorded their routine and submitted their video last weekend. We find out the results this coming weekend.

I took photos of all of the girls at the beginning of November. These are Maddie’s. I can’t believe how much she has changed over the past year. Having braces on definitely changed her smile!

I don’t believe in making New Year’s resolutions, because I always break them.  One of the pastors at my church encouraged everyone to choose a word for the year, instead of a resolution.  I loved this idea!  So I came home and thought about it for about a week.  What did I want for myself?  What did I want for my family?  What did I want for my business?  I prayed about it every day.  Then one day, God spoke to me and whispered “Grow”.

So for the year 2017, I am focusing on growing.  Growing relationships as a wife, mother, and friend; growing in faith; and growing my businesses.  Yes, I said business(es).  While I have been mainly using this platform to share snippets of my photography business, I am going to switch gears and make it more of a lifestyle and wellness blog.  Two years ago I bought an essential oil starter kit from Young Living and now it has turned into a business.  I have been sharing my passion for these oils with everyone I know and the business side seemed like a logical step.  So now I have two businesses that I am running and I’m still learning how to balance it all!

I have a team of people under me in my oil business that require time and attention so that we can grow as a team, so I will be scaling back my photography business a little.  Photography is still one of my passions, so I will never be able to give it up completely.  I just don’t have as much time to sit at my computer and edit photos anymore, so I won’t be accepting as many clients.  I will be offering limited dates, so make sure and book your session with me in advance to secure your spot.  🙂  And if you’re interested in learning more about my essential oil business with Young Living, click on the WELLNESS tab at the top of my page.
