I find myself sitting here feverishly trying to apply all the knowledge obtained from the PPA Conference in Nashville so my head doesn't explode!  The constant tweaking of our website and setting up photo shoot opportunities keeps me moving forward.  It is strange how it all seems like climbing Mount Everest at the beginning but once the pieces start falling in place you see the summit.  It is still long road ahead but I take comfort in the fact that at least I'm moving in the right direction!  A huge thank you to all the speakers at the Imaging USA/PPA Conference for motivating us all and helping us realize that it is a lot of work and a whole lot more than just taking "pretty" pictures.  The business side is a headache, but a necessary part of success, so if I'm not behind the camera you'll find me at the desk editing or researching the next step.  Balance between my time running a small business and entertaining the just turned 2 year old Boss/Editor can seem daunting at times.  Speaking of balance, she tells me it's time to wrap up this blog and grab some crayons...this sign from a recent ALA Shoot says it all...
