Over this past week being away from home I have found myself more and more grateful for what I have. (In no particular order) My own home, my son, my Mr. E, my vacation, my very very supportive friends, my family, forgiveness, my car, my health (and in the last 8 hours being sick to my stomach hit that one home).
Some of the things I am thankful for are my possessions, objects that I have purchased or have been purchased for me, as they allow me to live and raise my son in a place where we are both safe. They allow me to run my business and continue with my artistic passion. Other things that are not materials such as my health and love I receive are even more vital to my life. But when both are stripped from you it is very hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. That things can change.
Everyone that entered had amazing needs for free photography coverage. I stared and reread all the entries for the past week and had the most difficult time deciding. I made my decision based on the idea that despite the gloomy weather my winners truly needed some sort of hope.
I would like to congratulate Diana and Eric on winning full wedding coverage. I would also like to congratulate Trisha, who was nominated by her friend Stephanie, for winning the free portrait session. I will be contacting you both very soon!
More about both of the winners stories will be updated soon! I need to get a little more rest before I attempt to stomach kayaking tomorrow. This nausea has to go away at some point 
Thank you to all who entered. I was truly touched by your stories. I am going to bind them and the pictures to read to my son. Your honesty, and hope in love and in God will be something much greater to teach him than any school book could.
