Monday began with a familiar rhythm, an early walk along the promenade, the kind that clears the mind and softens the weight of the week before. A dear friend joined me for coffee afterward, and it was exactly the connection I needed. That quiet reset, the gentle conversation, the shared laughter, it helped me refocus and find my footing again.
As we spoke, my friend shared a verse from the Bible that landed deeply in my heart:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.” - Jeremiah 29:11
It was the kind of reminder I didn’t know I needed. It echoed the reassurance my dad used to offer when I felt uncertain, his way of reminding me that even in the unknown, I am held. Isn’t it incredible how the universe places the right people in your path, just when your spirit needs lifting?
I left the promenade feeling lighter. Recentered. Ready to take on the day.
And then, something beautiful unfolded. I received news that a photo I had submitted to The Photogra.her magazine for their Pets and Their People issue was selected and featured in the August edition. Just as Spring arrived, so did this quiet affirmation, a moment that felt like divine timing. A whisper from the universe saying, keep going.
Starting out in photography has been a journey of heart, hustle, and hope. And this feature felt like a ray of light breaking through the clouds. A reminder that even in seasons of uncertainty, there are moments of grace. Of recognition. Of movement.
I’m grateful, for the opportunities, for the people who show up, for the quiet signs that I’m on the right path. I’m taking each day as it comes, placing one foot in front of the other, trusting that what’s meant for me will never pass me by.
