Giddy

Geez, has it been THAT long since I've blogged??? Bad, bad, bad. Since I'm on early maternity leave (yes, we're prego w/ #3!!!) and I seem to be suffering from insomnia as of late, I'm gonna bloggity blog to my little heart's content. I guess I can start by blogging the time I got giddy hehe.

Me: Guess who's coming to Sacramento??? (excitedly)
Tou: Brad Pitt?
Me: Oh c'mon. What do I get excited about? (sorry, Brad Pitt, no offense)
Tou: Photography? Um, Jasmine Star?
Me: YES!!!!

Jasmine Star is a wedding photographer from the OC. Her images are beautiful, heartfelt and real. She's also a brilliant writer and has used her blog to successfully market herself. She's only one of few people whose blogs I follow on a routine basis. Fortunately for me, PPSV (Professional Photographers of Sacramento Valley) invited J* to speak at one of their monthly meetings. Seriously, I felt like a little girl on Christmas. I couldn't believe how giddy I was! J* was just as personable in real life as she is in her blog... sincere, open and hilarious! I laughed, cried and most importantly was inspired. What inspires me the most was her courage to follow her passion in life. She left a promising career in law and followed her heart and now she's doing what she loves! I'm so happy that I've been able to find my passion in life but sometimes my self-doubt and lack of confidence hinders me from reaching my full potential and having someone like J* to draw inspiration from motivates me to be myself and follow my heart. Cause isn't that what life is all about? Thank you J* for being my inspiration. (sorry, pregnancy can cause me to be a bit emotional LOL).


The fabulous Jasmine Star. Wish I was as fashion saavy as she.
