On this New Years Eve, I reflect back on 2010. It was a good year filled with gratitude, quietness, ceremony, yoga, social networking, and new perspectives. To help me remember the good moments of 2010, I refer back to my gratitude journal. I made entries everyday to help me remember the simple things in my life and keep me in the flow. I spent so many hours of 2010 alone, submerged in Photoshop, happily creating portrait art. With no distractions, I created some of my best works. To balance my sedentary, solitary work, I would go to the Joy of Being in Moss Beach and practice yoga with Jessica Archer, who I nicknamed “the Young Wise One” for good reason. http://www.coastsidephotography.com/slideshows/ywo/index.html Over the summer, my youngest son, Wesley, assisted me on my shoots. We had some moments that I will always remember. Every full moon of 2010 I lead a circle of wise women in a full moon ceremony. Our circle is open to all like-minded women. If you’re interested in joining us, send me an email. tamtrejo@pacbell.net. On 10-10-2010 @ 10am I officiated a wedding: my best friend got married to her childhood friend on Catalina Island. It was one of the richest days of my year , with so many serendipitous moments. To help promote my business, I stepped into the world of social networking with this blog and a Studio Face Book page, both of which brought me clients from far away places who wouldn’t have found me otherwise. On Easter we died and painted sand dollars instead of eggs and this year we got the Christmas tree up before December. Both are firsts for me. As you reflect back on 2010, I hope that you can only remember the good moments, and relish the simple abundance of your life.
2011 New Years Resolutions. Well I am one of those people who love to make resolutions and am pretty good at keeping them, because I make them easy. In the new year of 2011, I will be grateful for the simple things in life, nourish my body with good food and yoga, keep company with awesome women who honor each other, care for my home and family, plant flowers, laugh a lot, cry freely, dance often and create portrait art. I am looking forward to starting a wonderful new year. May you stay in the flow and be grateful for life’s simple moments.
New Year
Sincerely,
Tamara Trejo
