Life's curve balls. ..

This post has very little to do with photography, Santa Barbara, Mackinac Island or the usual things I write about . . . and more about when life throws you a curve ball. This is my desk at the current moment (I know it's scary). One would think that if you own and run a successful business your desk would be nicely organized . . . not when those curve balls come your way and all of a sudden take over your life. So last Thursday I was happy as a clam in my amazing and wonderful little cottage (home for the past 4 years). When out of the blue my wonderful landlord (and yes he still is wonderful) informed me that he could no longer have a rental on his property (not by his choice) :( . . . I have a feeling he is more upset about this than I am. So all of a sudden everything had to be put on hold in a search for a new home . . . hence the mess on the desk . . . acceptable (I think so)...

Well, after a week of craziness which included a mild case of the cold, falling off a chair, dealing with identity fraud, magazine submission deadlines, client deadlines, losing all my keys and a quick trip to SF . . . I've survived AND am about to move into a great house with an extra office (and even a darkroom attached to the garage).

I take this as just another reminder that no matter what happens (and I acknowledge things could have been much worse)... Life never throws curve balls you can't handle, you may not be able to handle them the way you had expected but . . . you will survive!!

May you hit every curve ball life throws your way out of the park!!

Love,
A
