grateful for... {personal post} | maple ridge bc | sugarlily studios

Whoa... these past few weeks have been a whirl wind for me!!  I have been booked solid with sessions, editing, ordering products, delivering packages and sooooo much more!!  My regular bedtime has turned into 2:00 am :( and I have been exhausted.  However, when my clients receive their packages or I receive an email from them saying they "Loved their sneak peeks",  it puts a smile on face and reminds me exactly why I love doing what I do. I truly feel blessed to have such an amazing job and am so grateful for all my clients and the friendships I have made with them this past year!  My clients ROCK... seriously!!!  :)  

With the year coming to an end, I am in the final stretch!  Only two more sessions to shoot tomorrow and a few sessions left to edit, several packages heading out the door and the last of the shipments coming in from the labs... I am starting to get very excited.  Once all of clients have been taken care off... I will be taking off two weeks to spend with my beloved family and friends!!!  

My kiddos are excited to start our Christmas rituals... visit the train in Stanley park, watch Christmas movies on the big screen, bake cookies and tarts and visit Santa Claus to name just a few!  This time is special to us and especially after this past weekend when my 22 month old daughter was hospitalized after drinking essential oils.  It was a very dramatic experience for her, my husband, myself and our families.  She is fine now and we are very happy to have her home where she is safe and sound... happy and HEALTHY!!!  This experience has put into perspective, again, how precious life is and how quickly it can be take away from us.  Due to this, we are entering this Christmas holiday with a new perspective... enjoy the little things!!  The laughs, the looks, the cuddles, the time together... enjoy it ALL!!!  It is not about the gifts, it is about the love that surrounds you... embrace it and remember it!!

I hope you do this too and have a Happy Holiday season with those who matter to you!
