Giving Back


To give back some of what I have been given...

Something that I talk about alot, but never seem to do enough of.  I think that like most people, I get caught up in the fact that money seems to be all I think I can give to help others, but I am coming to realize that time and just a helping hand or a kind word are comidities that are just as important.  Helping one another...not only giving to the nameless needy we may not ever see, but to the people around us in our everyday lives.  My older daughter picked out these necklaces in the picture to share with her sister...very touching gesture.  I was really inspired by the choice to share something rather than pick something out just for her.  It really made me think about not only others in need, but how much something so simple can affect the loved ones in my life.  On the money part, I will be donating 10% of all profits I make to John 3:16 Mission here in Tulsa.  I will have a link on the sidebar where you can donate as well if you feel moved to do so.  When you book a session, that 10% will be donated in your name.  I am also going to give some of my time as well.  'Tis better to give....
