Dear Anonymous, Thank You

Dear Anonymous,

I sit here still in shock, still in shock by your kindness and generosity. If I knew who it was I would hug them and profoundly thank them. You gave me a gift I didn't know if I could ever give myself in the near future. I didn't realize in my month of fully studying A Christmas Carol that I would be learning in the most literal sense how to receive, which in so many ways for me is harder than being the giver.

I am still, weeks later at a loss for words. I posted the video about me opening it in my last post about Christmas. I cried telling my friends about it, that anyone in my life would give a new camera and lens to me was never even in existence in my mind.

Tonight was the first night I really took it out, played with it, tried to discover some of what it is capable of. It is such a nice camera and lens I was almost too scared to use it, I just stared at it for a while even after opening it and cried many days following that someone would find me worthy enough to receive it. To anonymous, I can never repay you or thank you enough, I will do what you stated in the card, chase the light and shine!

Forever Grateful,

Alisha

So excited for the moments, clients, and adventures to come with this baby. Here are links to my photography site and nature print site...

Always Chasing the Light

Moments from its first time capturing the sunset... want to play with it more, it is capable of so much more than even my last camera.

Lastly, a quote I read today, does not exactly pertain to this message but I loved it and it reminds me of those tired nights, those long hours, they will pay off:

“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. The desire and ability to press on has and always will solve the problems of the human race and divide those who achieve from those who might have been.”
