I love to let life just flow. I’m not really an advocate of to-do lists, or a pusher of pencils. I’m not too bothered with deadlines or pressures. I love experiencing that my rendezvous’ with the most enjoyable circumstances happen in a fashion of relaxed expectation of all good things to flow eventually. While these things aren’t often too groundbreaking, although my following blog post is something of that nature, I am really much more exhilarated and several things coming together all at once of a much smaller nature. Things like an accidental free bus ride. My iPod seemingly KNOWING which song is that perfect fit in every moment. Walking right into thousands of people while a historic train rounds the corner. Reaching a beach just as the tide starts to pull out. Clouds hanging overhead to ensure we were to experience the most glorious sunset. Being assured great conversation would prevail, whether it was with several strangers or Amanda herself.
She’s a definite uplifter. She knows who she is, and she radiates making the best of where she is right now in this moment. She loves to laugh, she loves to praise, she loves to take her time and ensure no perfect moment goes unnoticed. She won’t let you too easily take her picture, but ironically enough, at the very end of the evening, she had moments of pure sass in front of the lens. I just wish I could link you to somewhere online where she works her magic from behind the camera lens. I’m officially calling you out on my blog for selfishly keeping your beautiful photography to yourself, Amanda. Don’t hate me entirely.
So here I am finishing up my words for Amanda’s first appearance on my blog, and while I thought the words may never flow to accompany these photographs – they have, all in a relaxed expectation of it being a natural, joyous journey to the completion of this post. So certainly it doesn’t take much more than feeling good to get the ball rolling. Just get happy, breathe in deeply once in a while, and smile feeling love where you are. Especially at a sunset like this.
