“Stop worrying so much (be present)… Dance a little bit… Go find your joy…”
— Some of the good words of advice from Sandra Bullock to graduates this year in this short video:

In it are sentiments that have been amongst some life-changers for myself as well.

“I’m feeling too fat to be photographed…”
… Unfortunately, many of us say or think this all too often.
I came across this moving read this morning (link below).
‘I nearly left this earth with no physical evidence of the goofy, wide open and loud love I have for my life, my husband, my family and friends.’ – A sobering reminder that we need to be easier on ourselves and allow ourselves to enjoy this life that we’re so fortunate to have (without worrying so much about how we look while doing it – indeed, you look beautiful to others!).
As a photographer I aim to get the most ‘flattering’ pictures possible for my clients, but one of my great joys is also capturing those *real*, special moments full of feeling. 10+ years from now, those are the ones we’re most likely to smile about as they transport us back to those wonderful moments lived.
Here’s the original article:
Joel and Chantelle were introduced through a mutual friend and started communicating online, neither of them anticipating the kind of feelings that would develop between them.
They lived provinces apart – Chantelle in Edmonton, Alberta and Joel in Brampton, Ontario – and they had no idea that soon, unseen forces would bring them together.
They spoke online every single day for hours on end – excitement and admiration blooming all the while. They couldn’t wait to hear from each other. After several weeks of talking, they finally met when Chantelle came back to her hometown of Toronto to go to school, and, surprised by how strong their connection was, they immediately became a couple.
After two years, Joel asked Chantelle to be his wife. This couple is a sight to behold – they emanate warmth, adoration and deep affection. It’s evident that they care so deeply about each other. Their big day is quickly approaching – On March 23rd (in 2 weeks!) they will be husband and wife!
