When the waves of life come crashing down, what do you do? I gotta tell you, it's so easy to be tempted to throw a fit and fall into a negative attitude, but what helps me is looking at my situation and realizing where I have been blessed. Switching my mindset to an attitude of gratitude. What am I grateful for? This week I have had quite a bit of pain (from accident - see stories) and each day it seems like something else is acting up on my body. Today was back pain. But you want to know something crazy?? I am actually grateful for this pain. It's annoying, but I am grateful because it reminds me that I am alive and recovering with minimal injuries. Life can throw us some curveballs for sure, but now I realize that all the fits I threw in my younger years got me nowhere other than in a moaning, grumbling, complaing attitude that did not produce anything good. So today, I have gotten to live this beautiful day. I chose to stop to look at the leaves on the trees thinking about how grateful and blessed we are. #gratitude #joy #beauty #life #faith

How many times do we miss out on enjoying something simple? We live in the Charleston area and planes are always flying in to land. I find it so exciting to see them come in and have had an idea of photographing them as they land. I haven't found the best spot to sit and photograph yet, but I caught this one while in the car. I took my camera out really fast hoping I would be able to capture it fast enough and I did! I edited the photo this way because it speaks. This plane, a powerful vessel, soars over the trees and the clouds with its wings spread out, full of confidence in everything that exists within it. Everything that is in it allows it to operate and do what it needs to do. But if an area is broken or low in fuel, then it wont be able to perform. I want to say to you as we head into a new week, you are going to soar and fly high. Even if you don't feel like you are worthy, you are worthy. You have everything within you in order to start and move forward. You have confidence, you just have to believe that it exist within you. Hold your head up high and put those shoulders back. You can walk into a room being who you are and never have to shrink back for those around you. Own your place. But remember we need rest and need to refuel in order to keep going and perform at our best. Take time out for you to rest and refuel, because girlfriend you have so much greatness inside of you! You are worthy and so amazing ❤ #truth #womenoffaith #confidence #rest #refuel
What are some FALL things you like doing? I feel like I am a bit blank on things this season, other than traveling to photograph fall foliage... But I want to remind all of us including myself, that as the seasons change we can still experience joy even if we are coming out of or entering into a hard and challenging season ❤ #fall #seasons #joy #flowers #sonya7
It's a beautiful new morning and even though it may be a cloudy day, look at the day a bit differently. I hear a lot of reasons people think they aren't able to enjoy the day. Ex. its wet outside, raining, dreary, dull, cold, dont any money, the world isnt like it used to be, don't like being around people, and the list goes on. If we are going to experience joy, something that we crave, I believe it can truly be found in Jeus, but we can start by looking at things differently and being grateful by changing our perspective. Yesterday, was run day for our run group I mentor and there was a huge chance rain would come down. I could have gotten in some type of mood because I didnt want to run in the rain OR I could show up because getting to mentor others is such a wonderful thing and I would get to experience nature with wonderful people. Look at the situation differently. Find the good and be creative. Choose to have fun in the house with the kids or animals simply by being a kid again. You can experience joy. Think about the words you may be using because our words have power. Power to bring a light and happy feeling over a situation or the power to bring more heaviness and darkness over a situation <3 I hope you allow yourself to experience joy. It's an amazing feeling and way to live. #joy #wordshavepower #sunday #happiness #love

One thing we do as a family often is go to the beach. It doesn't matter if there is a hurricane coming, if it's raining, if it's hot, or cold, we show up and have a great time. I have been a beach goer ever since I was an older teen and it's always been close to my heart since then. I had never been to the beach until I was 17 and the moment I saw the ocean as we were coming downhill off the bridge, it sparked so much joy and happiness within me. My best friend and I just started yelling "woohooo" and laughed like crazy with so much excitement. And then I kept going. I would wear my swimsuit under my clothes at work (I lived in the country, but worked in the city an hour away) and would go to the beach after I got off when I had short days. The beach brought a sense of calmness and serenity and the water was just amazing. It was a place where I felt so connected to God. When we first got married, I stopped going as much. My husband didnt care for it, so I just kind of stopped going. Then I had my daughter and just sunk into post partum depression. I lost a sense of who I was. I realize now that I kind of stopped allowing myself to be who I was because I was afraid to do things on my own. But during my healing and as my daughter was about 3 or 4, I started going with her and we just had a blast. But something interesting happened with the husband, he started working at a new fire department and after working there for a while, he was stationed at the beach! And God kept him stationed there off and on for about a good 3 years. During that time I believe that God was pursing him with the beauty of his creation and after about 6 months, he started to develop a love for the beach. Isn't it amazing how he works on us so gently that we almost miss that we have been transformed? The thing is, so many times we rule out something that will actually bring us joy based off ...... continued in comments #truth #joy #beach #saltlife #happiness
