Pre-Vacation Gratitude ⎪ Beyond The Lens

Today my husband Rob and I leave for a week vacation with my mom and extended family. We are pretty excited. Not only am I looking forward to getting back to a place full of so much natural beauty and to spend time with my family, but I am excited to connect, unplug, and explore. I feel so much gratitude that I am able to spend time with my family, especially in light of the impact of Hurricane Sandy on the community I live in. My gratitude is overwhelming.

It is in this spirit that I leave you with a beautiful video on gratitude by Louie Schwartzberg via TED, brought to my attention by some of my favorite people – Jenna Walker Photographers in Denver. They are our very own wedding photographers (full blog post coming on that later) and they’re also one of the main sources of inspiration and reasons that I am so blessed to be in this profession. My gratitude to them is immeasurable.

So if you have a minute, or ten, I would check out the video. It gets good at 1 minute, and get’s really good at 3:33.

Here’s to a wonderful week for all, full of gratitude. And because I am traveling, I will have a post on St. John and all of its gorgeousness next week while I am gone, so stayed tuned for that!
