Finding What I Lost - Shreveport/Bossier

Have you ever felt lost-either physically, spiritually, creatively, or emotionally? I am not sure if the proper term would be lost or stuck. Either term will suffice though. Basically I have been at a stand still.

The past few months I have felt in a hole. I have a list of things I would love to create, business goals, life projects, etc. I know my end goals, but I wasn't sure what direction to go to get there. I have spent over three months trying to decide, educate myself, self reflection, prayer, etc. In the end I realize I just need to move. Even if it doesn't help me to go forward I will learn from the movement, from the choice, from the decision.

The first step out of this hole was that I wanted to create images that showed someone who was trapped in that dark place and finds their way back into the light. We all have been there in our lives, whether it was in a bad job, relationship, or life issue. I am very blessed to work with an incredible hair and makeup artist, Leah, who jumped at the chance to help me create again. Not only was this a chance to try something new in the studio, it breathed life into my soul. At one point during the shoot Leah referenced a song that had been on the radio during the day, Fear is a Liar. I have taken this song to heart. I need to let go of fear and move towards what I can achieve.

Don't let your fears stop you from moving forward! If you feel stuck, reach out to those around you to help you find direction, read good books, pray, take time for yourself. I want to create and run a business, sometime those two things will be one in the same, other times they won't. Either way I will learn and grow. This is me getting back to what I love in my art and my business.
