supergirl

She's the girl in two worlds. Outside the glass, but wholeheartedly believing she's inside the tank. A three foot tall testament that it's okay to dream. To be mesmerized by where wish you were. She dreams of the day she'll be able to glide through the water and drift effortlessly with sea turtles. But she gets so lost in her desire to be there, that she doesn't realize she's holding her breath. I've been there. Holding my breath. Holding out. Holding off the everyday moments. But I loved what Tracey said yesterday when she suggested that being present today doesn't mean you can't be filled with dreams for tomorrow.

Sometimes we just need to remember to breathe.

My little girl dreams of being mermaid! Just discovered your site. What beautiful words and great giveaway. Thanks.

Wish I still had this kind of imagination. Sometimes I imagine I have a different life. One that never involved law school and being a lawyer. Photography helps me keep that imagination alive!! Thanks for the opportunity to have an epiphanie of my own!

She's so cute! I can just hear her reaction to the fish. My little one loves the aquarium. LOVE the bags! I'd love to have one for my own.
