What is "home"?

Life is ever changing this we know. Whether good or bad; easy or hard the best way to approach these challenges is with an open mind and a go get em' spirit. These past two months have been challenging to say the least. Mother nature has been as moody with her ups and downs as I have about my current location, job and future plans. But that is life. Without taking on new unknown places, facing fears about leaving the comforts of "home" and a steady pay check one would not see all the other beautiful and exciting things, places and people waiting to be explored. I myself even get caught up sometimes in the familiar, wanting only the comforts of "home". Yet, then again what is "home"? Where do we define such a place?

The next chapter...

Found out this evening that I got a job working for the Action Sports Company Woodward, that I work for in the summer at their winter location on Copper mountain in Colorado. The excitement and thrill of being somewhere new this winter is uncontrollable right now. Lately all I have been thinking about is work work work and my book. Now all of a sudden I have this new and amazing opportunity rising in front of me and couldn't be happier for the distraction. This is not to say that I am abandoning ship with my book or other freelance work. It's just nice to be preoccupied for a moment with something else. Speaking of the little thing called my book "Ashe in Wanderland" my brain is like a never ending machine of ideas which is great someitmes yet not so great when I am over tired and in need of a moment of silence in my head. Thankfully, up until a week ago I was still traveling for my last job doing portraits around the east coast and so exhausted from running around
