I'm so sorry that I've taken so long to update my blog. I guess you can say I've been on a sabbatical. This past month, my life has taken on so many changes. I've been re-prioritizing things and just allowing myself to be free of a lot of stress and negativity. It's been during this time, that God has been revealing a lot of things to me. Mainly, my priorities. What's important in life, and although I'm assuming this is a lifelong lesson - it's been extremely necessary for me to be reminded of what really and truly is important on this journey. I've felt like the devil has been trying to rob me of my joy, distracting me with petty and extremely unimportant things. Wrapping me up in trying to understand situations that cannot be understood. It's been eye opening for me to move past these distractions and focus, again, on my life, my children, my friends and family, and back into happiness and joy. A place God has intended for me since the very beginning. I feel free.
Melissa Vossler Photography has really begun to boom here in Reno. I'm remaining consistently busy and have been getting a lot of referral business. I've also booked four weddings with another one in the works. This is both exciting and daunting! As some of you already know, I'm now working solely for myself. When I moved here, the plan was for me to work with Emily Loftus and see where things led. Well, they led to a dead end and now we have gone our seperate ways. I think the bottom line is, we both wanted different things from our businesses and there was no possible way to mesh them together. Which has ended up being a blessing in disguise, because I'm feeling like this place in my life, is exactly where I'm supposed to be. And since venturing out into the waters on my own, I've seen a huge increase in business and am feeling the freedom to do things my way - which is probably how I should have arranged things from the beginning....but live and learn, right? I've given God the reigns to my business, and I'm trusting that He will direct my steps. I'm networking with other photographers in the area, and becoming involved in young professionals groups, making new relationships and lots, and lots, and lots of reading and learning. I'm feeling confident though, that if I'm faithful in the small things, God will eventually make me responsible for bigger and greater things. What an inspiring lifestyle!!
