Wonder Life

Yearly tradition: I will be changing the website around a bit to update for the new year. I’ll just be moving the ‘news’ around and making room for new ‘news’. But I’m waiting a bit because of a special sharing I want to make. This last week and a half has been very eventful, some good, some bad.  I finally got a Charleston sunrise the way that I wanted to get in the first place: from start to finish. I chose my location initially but changed right in the middle of taking pictures. Reason being, the rising sun was in the wrong angle for what I wanted in the pictures. Which means I’ll need to go back again, later this year with the sun at a different angle, to get pictures of the setting and rising sun in the area I’m thinking of for the pictures  I want. We’ll see! But I am sharing the pictures I got and will put the best ones in the shop. As always: I have found the best, most beautiful sunrises came from non perfect skies. The colors that come from the clouds rolling in from the winter storm lends depth to the beauty… just like in life. The most imperfect people give life the color and depth to life.

Now the sad side of this update. One thing no one ever warned me about when getting older: the people that you look up to, mentors and people whom you admire start to die off. Leaving you to be the person the younger generation looks up to. And unfortunately, another one of mine died a week ago Sunday. Many years ago, I had built a charity designed to save homeless pets. I had made a whole idea and wrote the business plan out to have South Carolina achieve a total ‘no kill’ status. I also worked many hours (without a lawyer) to get my charity to be a class 501-c-3. Something that’s very difficult to achieve. I am proud of this achievement and the ideas behind it all even though it never achieved what I wanted it to. However, in working for my charity, I got to meet many, awesome people and two of which was Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. So I am greatly saddened by the news and every half-mast flag that I see. My heart goes to the Carter’s family!
