Hello everyone and HAPPY New Year! I seriously can't believe 2011 is over. Its been a {wonderful} year filled with an injury (LOL), meeting new clients, a booming business, college classes passed and an adoption. Whewww its been {good}!
I want you to meet Lori.
She is beautiful, funny, feisty, {incredible} and she is fighting cancer. We had a wonderful session that started with my wonderful sis in law Rachel doing her hair and makeup. Then we headed to Florence for some fun girl time. She is simply beautiful and the flood of emotions that came with this session will stay with me forever. We {giggled} with lots of girlie talk and when she smiled it was infectious. This led me to think about life and how it can be so busy with kids, work, school, laundry....and sometimes its easy to forget about what is really matters. Soooo I would like to start a movement. Do something {nice} for someone....anyone. Use your talents and randomly {give} If you take photos, do a session for someone who really needs it for free. You make tutus, caps, outfits etc...give one away to someone who may benefit. You bake amazing bread, cookies or whatever...do it. You're a terrific babysitter?? Donate some free sitting for a mom who really needs it. There's something that we can all do. Sit back and watch what happens when you make a difference in someones life.
I would love to hear what you did to make an impact. Leave a comment below and if you are in AZ I'll do a drawing for a 100.00 gift certificate towards a regular session with me.
I promise you your perspective will be better and your life {happier}! Ok good deed doers....go!
You are the best!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful day you gave to my beautiful sister!
ReplyDeleteAnytime! It was my pleasure. :)
ReplyDeleteLori is an amazing woman! I have known her and her daughter Jenny for over 5 years now and love them both dearly! She is a very special, beautiful person, and a true fighter against this horrible illness. God bless her, and bless you for giving her this special day!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a touching moment.. thank you so much for sharing it with us!!
ReplyDeleteMy giving moment is every time I go through Dunkin Donuts Hubby and I always buy pay for whatever the car behind us gets.... it could be one cup of coffee or 2 dozen donuts. :)
I can't wait to see what others do!
I love ur movement!!!! I always said I want to be u when I grow up and I have a lot to live up to! ! I love donating my time I have a girl in my small group who is a single mom and she is on and off again sick it was an honor and a good feeling when she said how much would u charge me for pics with my daughter I said nothing let me do this for u I hope she has moments she can freeze for a lifetime. Thank u for all u do and for pushing me to be a better me
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I love this movement! Just yesterday there was an older woman in front of me at Walgreens, and her debit card wouldn't work. Her total was only $3 so I just had the cashier put it in with mine. She was so thankful and I told her to pay it forward.
ReplyDeleteThe feeling that I get from giving, makes my whole day! Thank you for the chance to win a certificate for a session, your photos are AMAZING!
Amazing!! Im a single mom and holidays are tuff so one year my friends surprised me by giving my family over $1200. SO,the next year I did it for a struggling family. I have no idea how I did it LOL!! I do actually,the prayers and gods loving hands made it happen. and now,you make me want to go to my business page and give away some goodies :D
ReplyDeleteThese shared stories are so heart warming and inspiring. My husband and I were having an anniversary dinner out once and we went to pay and someone had anonimously paid our ticket. It was so unexpected and kind and what an eye opener it was for us! Now, when we can, we try to pay for random tickets. Couples, families, army guys or soldiers...we just do what we can when it's possible for us. Wish we could do it more but we certainly do it when we can. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree what a great story! She sounds incredible. I volunteer once a week at Banner Desert Medical Center/ Cardon Childrens. However I must admit volunteering is kinda a selfish act for me. I hope the hours I put in make a difference in someones life or even put a smile on their face for a minute. But the joy I leave with at the end of shift is why I keep going back.
ReplyDeleteIts hard to say something nice we do for other people because we try everyday to do things for others. If you are depositing into other "bank" others will deposit into yours. Love the moment you are starting Sarah, everyone should be moved,
ReplyDeleteI don't want to win the session just wanted to tell sarah that now everytime Jordan sees a homeless person ( people on the street) he stops and buys them a snickers and a water. I asked him why do you buy them that? He said cause everyone loves Snickers and we all need water! He wants to make an impact because of what you did for my mom! I am so thankful for you everyday Sarah and will always be thankful for the rest of my life! <3
