Miss. Mix-a-lot.

Mixing business with pleasure.  Or in my case, mixing business with my personal life. 

You see, if it weren't for my personal life, I wouldn't have a business.  And I wouldn't have a business without my personal life. The two are very tightly intertwined, and to be quite honest, I am glad, and am very very thankful. And to be quite frank, I have no idea how I would run one without the other. To me, its a set up for failure.  Now, of course one must be wise in decision making, but on the other hand, sometimes sacrifice is what gets you ahead, and gets you... well, liked, and ultimately trusted.  

I've received questions and comments regarding the two being so closely knit.  "Aren't you afraid if you post that Bible verse, you'll scare people away?"  No, I'm not afraid.  At first, yeah okay, I admit I was a bit hesitant, but then I remember who gave me this love and passion for photography in the first place, and then think where I would be without it.  And then I think, why has this passion been give to me.  What is His purpose for this in my life?  Slowly, but surely its all coming together, and I am beginning to see, and doors are starting to open.  

So yes, I would like to say to those who question my cocktail mix of business and personal life/beliefs.  One will never be without the other.  The two will always go hand in hand.  I'm not one who's just after a buck or the hustle, but instead I'm one who's after a friendship who just happens to make a buck along the way.
