Inspiration!

I am a blog-o-holic. What I mean is, I am addicted to blogs. (Not actually blogging, obviously--since I can't seem to get something on here even once a week!!) There are a few blogs that I try to visit as often as possible and one of them is written by Hula Seventy, who is also a list maker. Her recent post, My Sunlight, truly inspired me!

As a parent I try hard to be aware of what our youth is exposed to but I also try to remember what I was like and how I felt when I was growing up. One element that has carried through to my adulthood (if you can call me an adult, HA!) is music. I have purchased, listened to and even performed all kinds, but there was a time when I truly loved hip hop/rap/R&B. As I got older and some parts of the genre began to represent a lifestyle I could not relate to, I started to veer away from it. AND THEN I SAW HER POST. She said it best, "...and I'm thankful that my kids are growing up with this kind of hip hop...".

I too am thankful for this kind of hip hop.

But I do truly adore this song as a song. It speaks to me in some ways as a parent, in some ways as a lover and wife and also as a photographer. This song inspired me to do some shooting, loving and creating.

Please. Enjoy.................. And be inspired!! By whatever you are surrounded by!
