Baby Steps

Dear Emma,
You started crawling at 7 months and then pulled yourself up on your feet at 8.
You took your first assisted steps at 10 months and then your first unassisted step just after one year.
And now, you’re walking!
It’s been such an inspiring journey to witness and it’s days like these that I’m reminded that it’s just that. A journey, a process. You can accomplish ANYTHING and it’s all about taking those small steps. Baby steps.

Just like your journey to walking, I feel like I’m in the very early steps of my photography career. I’m crawling.
There are days when my dreams seem like a distant speck. Some days, non existent. Am I in over my head? Should I just put my photography career on hold and focus my time and energy on being a mom? My dreams already feel like they’re on a standstill anyway. Should I just save myself any feelings of failure and just give up?
At least giving up is within reach.

And then there are days when I see you walking towards me in sheer joy and I’m reminded that some days it’s just about putting one foot in front of the other.

Making every little step count.
xo,
J
