Always Learning...making goals and preserving memories.

I am back to the blog again and so thankful to be here. With 2011 around the corner it must be the resolutions that have brought me back to this place. Truth be told I am constantly goal setting and this time at this moment the blog has come back into my goals.

My passions are photos and people. Teaching and motivating. Communicating love and empowering others to do the same. This blog will let me express it all. So I am back to the blog!!!

It will be my mission in 2011 to save memories and preserve moments. My own, like this one of my beautiful sister and her son, at the Energy Plex taking a break from the running to pose. I always cherish our time together.
4 easy steps to preserve your memories.

1. Take LOTS of photos and delete the ones ( right then and there) you don't want. Quantity will allow for quality. 
2. Have an import to the computer routine and use a photo organizing software that will help. I reccomend Memory Manager by Creative Memories. It will help you organize, edit and access a print location ALL within the program. I LOVE IT!
3. Print or Make Photobooks. When you have an organizing program that works for you, printing the photos that you love or making a photobook is EASY!  Keeping photos on the computer is only one part of a process, not the end product.
4. SHARE your photos. People connect wih photos, reflect with photos and heal with photos. Take time to do all three. The computer is only a part but the real connection is the human to human contact. Post to share but be there to connect. Make the time to be present and celebrate the joy in the memories. 

So for 2011 I will share, in person and virtually.
See you there.
