After being gone for most of the summer, and then stranded in Canada for the last few weeks after someone crashed into my car, I finally arrived back in Denver today. It's so good to be back in a place that's familiar, surrounded by so many things I love and the people that I missed. I always talk about leaving here, but for the first time, I was really happy to come back to Colorado. Something has shifted.
Canada was great. It wasn't exactly the experience I thought it would be, but I really enjoyed my time there. I made a lot of progress on several creative projects and have a lot of new things in the works for the coming year which I'm really excited about. What I loved most was just how it was so free from distraction. Being so far away from the pull of a social life and the day-to-day things that normally eat up your time was incredibly freeing and allowed me to find the focus that is normally absent from my life. It was the right decision to go, but I am happier than I thought I would be to be back home.
So, I have a little less than 2 weeks to finish wrapping a few things up before hopping on a plane south for the next few months. It seems impossible to be ready that quickly, but here it comes ready or not...
One of my big projects is a re-vamping of this website. Chelsea, from 23and9 Creative, did all the hard work and created a beautiful online space for me to work in. I can't thank her enough! Sometimes you just have to give things over to people that actually know what they're doing, and I'm so glad I finally did because she knows her stuff and gave me a site better than I imagined.
I'm excited to fill this space now and take things in a little different direction. I have photography tutorials & videos in the works that will start showing up in the next few days, and of course we're heading into the Antarctic summer season, so you're about to hear a whole lot more about that. I'd love to hear from you if you want to drop me a note and I hope you'll come along for the ride...
