Howdy friends!
Hope y'all had a great February! I know mine was pretty jam-packed... more than I thought it would be before February showed up. It was such a good month though- full of fun, amazing, awesome AND hard things- but ALL worth it. Here's a recap!
February Recap:
✔️ 1. Host the "photographer's coffee break". - It was a hit! Thank you everyone who came! Love hosting people in our home!
✔️ 2. Photograph one my best friend's engagement session in NEW YORK! - This trip was so great! I'm so thankful for all the super fun experiences I had with my friend and her fiance. Still waiting for the film scans to come in- hoping it will be today or tomorrow (fixers crossed)!
✔️ 3. Actually get stuff together for taxes. :-P I did START doing this! *high five to self* #happydance
4. Continue plans for a styled shoot I've been dreaming up! Eeek! - Does mental preparation count? Hah...
✔️ 5. Blog at least twice. - Well, if you include February's goals post then I did. =)
✔️ 6. Continue to update portfolio.
7. Finish 2015 welcome packet stuff.
8. Submit a wedding & session to a wedding blog.
9. Finish final touch-ups to livingroom paint. This IS happening this Wednesday!
✔️ 10. Dream and plan for the new monthly tradition Sam and I are starting.
11. Send in my 5D Mkll to get a tune up.
✔️ 12. Be intentional with friendships.
✔️ 13. Catch up on business finances. Organization. Organization. Organization.
✔️ 14. Continue to wake up and start my "morning ritual" by 7am Sunday-Friday. - You know what, I read this and kind of felt like I failed, but looking back over February COMPARED to January, I did SO MUCH BETTER! So "✔️ " it is!
✔️ 15. And last but not least: go on a hott date with the hubs for Valentines day! :-D - Double check!
Well, February wasn't too shabby on the "To do" list, but could be better... But you know what?? THAT'S OKAY! I'm learning so much about having grace with myself and not having too high of expectations. Yeah these were "goals", but I tend to put more on my plate and then prioritize within my goals what has to be done in that moment (or day or week, etc...), and that is what I try and tackle first, and then leave the rest to be done later. Maybe that sounds a little bit like a contradiction, "don't have too high expectations" & "put more on your list, then prioritize" but it works for me. :-)
