Photo Walk & Women

-
So I am doing a local photo walk for women. I feel that there is a need for empowering women in environment that includes their passion of photography. We will spend an hour walking around town or 1.5 hours. Everyone will wander back at their leisure where we will have a photo booth set up, food set up, and we can use laptops to upload, share, and what not. We will have place settings that says, I am enough, I am beautiful, Spread the kindness in your heart, and other positive affirmations. We will write them for someone who we just met and give it to them as a reminder that we are all here to build each other up and not knock each other down.


Here is my blurb on the website:
1st Annual Women's Photobug Day!!! Saturday April 23 at the 567 Center for Renewal in Macon. 1-4 PM. All women who love taking photos with any type of camera,,even phone ones, are welcome. Going to be taking photos from 1-2 then sharing and uploading. Will be a $10 fee to cover room and other things.( total is $11.54 with service fee) Bring some food to share. 30 women total.
Why: to build a strong community of like minded women who love lifting each other up and have a passion for photography.
When: Sat April 23rd 1-4
What: Photo walk, followed by sharing,learning, and food. ( Bring something to share)
What to bring: food to share, your camera, comfortable shoes, laptop (if you want to upload and share photos with all of us or a few of us, camera of some sort, props you might one in your photos or for the photo booth we set up together. grin emoticon
Who: 30 photography loving women
Because: We need to build each other up and share in a community of like minded women.
Spread the word!!!
This is going to be a great day...let me say....YOU ARE AMAZING!!!


I love photography. I want to build woman up. Society knocks us down repeatedly and I want to be the pebble making the ripple of change. Yes its only 30 woman, but what I hope they take with them is a sense of empowering others. By sharing food I hope to connect the ladies through breaking bread. I am asking everyone to bring something to share. I am making something and supplying plates and such.


I am hoping to do this twice a year, but let us see how this one goes first. If you have any ideas, tips, have done anything like this, I would love to hear from you. I hope this inspires others of you to be the pebble. If you see something wrong, do something, even small to be the change we need to be stronger, amazing, go getter women.


With all that said I hope you ALL have an amazing day. You are perfect just the way you are!!!

Sunday Stories, Crazy Love Coffee Shop

So Crazy Love Coffee in Roswell Georgia has been on my list for years to visit. This weekend I got to go. I bought my son and myself an iced coffee and giant blueberry muffins. This coffee was smooth. The service fast and friendly.  There was a considerable line; I was not in a line long. The staff hustled to get everyone's orders done. They asked what you wanted and listened. They recommended products based on what their customers were describing. They had books for sale, cards, bags, toys, all sorts of note cards, and cute stationary. This place did not disappoint.  I must have been the 20th person in this long line, but 15 min later, coffee in hand, I was on my way out the door to give my kiddo his coffee. I had an iced coffee and the flavor of the coffee was smooth and sweet and tingled the tastebuds. The atmosphere was relaxed. The light was on point in this big area. See those bags in the photo, I had to fight the urge to get one.  Crazy Love coffee is family oriented, perfec

Sunday Stories: Time Spent Well.

Us At Cathedral Coffee This is the coffee shop   Yesterday was a day well spent. We drove thirty miles to a local church, with a coffee house in it. The coffee tasted so smooth and wonderful dancing on my tongue. I was told about the breakfast biscuits that were almost sold out. We, my husband and I each ordered one. We got the last two biscuits, and they did not disappoint and were only $4 each, so for  $12, we got a great breakfast and coffee. We spent an hour sitting, sipping, eating and chatting. It was a great slow start to what was quickly going to become a busy day. Thank you  Cathedral Coffee  for fueling our day.  Secondly, we hit a local convention. Spend $7 to get in and $7 on things we bought. It was full of artists we love, with jewelry and hand-drawn art. We spent maybe an hour at this convention, which was local, and we walked through it a few times. Since we are not going to Dragoncon this year, this little convention was perfect. Another hour was well spent.  After thi

Third Place on a Sunday

  If you have been following me for a while, you know I am in love with the third-place concept. Don't know what it is? Let me fill you in. You need a home place, a workplace, and a third place within the community where you can go and chat, read, have a beverage, and feel safe. For me that is always a coffee house. A few years ago I went around to some of Georgia's coffee houses and I wrote about them. Always seems to happen in the Summer. Seems the perfect time to travel and see the coffee houses of Georgia.  This summer we start with Labrador Coffee House in Kennesaw Ga. This cute house is turned into a two-story coffee house. The smell of intoxicating coffee welcomes you inside, but have a poochie? No problem, there are bowls of water all over the porch for puppy doggies. They are welcome on the porch, but not in the cafe. Gotta keep that fur out of our food you know. :)  The Labrador is dog friendly. The doggies are welcome everywhere else. The tiny fire hydrant to sniff a
