walk with gratitude


My experience this past week at Camp Shutter Sisters was extraordinary and inspiring beyond words. The memories are floating around in my head all jumbled and overlapping as I attempt to drift back into everyday life. And as much as I fight it, I will eventually become fully immersed into my routine again.
We all have days when the drudgery of life gets in the way of our lens. These are the moments when the space around us seems less than beautiful, possibly even ugly. However, thanks to Tracey Clark and the other amazing women I have just met, I am now armed with the reminder to "walk with gratitude" as I hold my camera and view my surroundings. It's amazing how those words transformed me. It's a simple suggestion but one that lingers in my mind. The idea is less about composition or f-stops, and more about allowing the feeling of gratitude to pour through our eyes and ultimately our lens.
Make a point today to walk with gratitude with or without a camera. If it inspires you to capture your surroundings, please share your images with us below.

My life is built on gratitude to God, and I am blessed to walk our farm every day. It's a wonderful time for thanksgiving and prayer.
missing you..... xxo, Kim
I posted this on my blog yesterday. Such a great thing to look around each day to find something to be grateful for!
