Happy November!

As my second month in Nashville comes to a close I am reminded of how much blogging is a HUGE commitment. I completely forgot to update in the midst of working and meeting new people and soaking up everything Nashville has to offer.

I have so much to be thankful for in my life right now. Being in a new place, meeting new people and taking on bigger and better opportunities has made me so happy. I am finally feeling that feeling that I was afraid I'd never find: contentment. It might not be the kind of contentment that comes when everything in life is perfect, but this feeling comes from knowing I am exactly where I should be and nowhere else. I haven't ever experienced anything quite like this before, and I feel truly excited to know that life is only going to get better. I've found my purpose and music is all I've got on my mind 24/7.

It is as if I was trying to stray from something that comes so natural for too long and now that I've given myself full permission to embrace it I can't imagine ever living without it.

Life is good. I'm in love with everyday. I wake up and smile.

Crazy, right?

lucky.

I constantly try to remind myself how lucky I am. One of the ways I do that is by photographing my experiences. When I return to a photograph I am immediately reminded of the time and place, and I am grateful that most of my life has been spent in beautiful situations. This week was exceptionally wonderful. All of my shots capture the essence of the moment at hand- the richness and depth that was present, the meaningful conversations, the love between friends and family. This was just one of those great weeks that are filled with wonderful people, lots of laughter, long lazy meals consisting of all my favorite foods, and breathtaking surroundings.
