Have you ever looked into Biorhythms?
From Wiki:
A biorhythm is a hypothetical cycle in physiological, emotional, or intellectual well-being or prowess. "Bio-" pertains to life and "rhythm" pertains to the flow with regular movement. The theory has no more predictive power than chance, and has been labeled a pseudoscience by skeptics.

I have always found horoscopes to be fun and sometimes even uncanny. I personally love Rick Levine.

Today's Horoscope:
Cancer
By Rick Levine
This can be a very satisfying day for you because you can express your feelings without seeming so needy that others want to retreat. In fact, your ability to love is currently based upon your need for freedom. It's one thing to ask for a bit of elbowroom now, but it still can be tricky to balance it with intimacy and security.

I know it is sometimes silly, but humans in general like to feel like the wield some sort of control over their destiny's and maybe biorythms and horoscopes are just one way of making ourselves feel secure.

For the record... I actually am having a fairly bad physical day (Sjogren's is acting up I think... acky) and I am optimistic about my future, but I know I have a lot to do in the next couple weeks :)

I am still trying to figure out how best to introduce my services and reach out to new clients. To say my budget is limited is an understatement. My retouching services luckily finance any expenses my photography creates (studio, equipment, advertising, etc.)

I was asked if I prefer shooting children or pets. This is a challenging question. I think children are absolutely precious and beautiful to capture in "film". On the other hand I am VERY comfortable with animals. I always have been. As a child I wanted to grow up and be a veterinarian. In my adult life, I still consider taking classes to be a vet tech. That would be a little odd though considering my degrees in graphic design. I would feel like I was cheating on myself, LOL!

So... thinking more on this subject I have decided to start my advertising campaign for CLD's PawPrints. With this I also want to help bring awareness and support the Jacksonville Humane Society. I have submitted my paperwork for volunteer work. I was reading that shelter animals with professionally taken photos are adopted sooner and in greater numbers. I will also be joining in the Pawfessionals Community Partnership.

The Pawfessionals is a pet-loving, young professionals group committed to supporting the educational and fundraising efforts of the Jacksonville Humane Society. Check out their site http://www.jaxhumane.org/how-to-help/thepawfessionals/

I was thinking about giving a $25 discount off regular sessions for Pawfessionals members. PawPrints sessions will receive an extra "bonus" for the furbabies.

With this same train of thought, I would like to offer free mini sessions for newly adopted shelter pets with their new families.

So... now where to begin...

Starting a journal

Well,

I think I will start adding a my own little journal entries on my blog. I often have so many ideas in my head that I only can sort them out by telling someone, but my friends and family tire of my constant babbling. So, I will torture the few people that might stumble upon my blog.
