 Sooooo... for my last entry for this challenge, I was "Spreading My Wings, Learning to Fly"... I had just stepped out in faith and quit a job I had hated for 12 years to follow my heart and try to make photography a full time livelihood. At the time, I was positive but scared, and had to fight the "What if's"... So when this challenge came up, I thought I'd do an update. So far.... it's all turned out really well, and after a little over 2 years, business is steady and growing, and I've had some really neat things happen recognition wise to let me know that not only did I make the right decision... but God is GOOD! And life is sweet :)

P.S.... This is my new rescue dog, Miss Ellie. I love her so much, and she is the sweetest, most loving dog, but OMG... is she ever full of mischief! She gets in so much "trouble" that my Golden lab puppy has started to get anxious and freaked out when she sees Miss Ellie doing stuff she knows she's going to get in trouble for! But, in the end, I'm glad we are the ones who adopted her instead of someone who would have decided she was too much trouble and taken her back, because she does get a little better each day, and she is a DOLL BABY as far as loving us and loving being in our family!

This says to me you're an animal lover, and enjoy taking pictures of animals. Or you had a great picture of a cute puppy and figured this would be a good challenge for it! :-)
