I Want to be a Photographer

I mentioned before that my passion is to travel, take pictures and write a book. OK – I still desire to do all those but have realized that my biggest passion is to be a photographer. I have loved taking pictures since I first got a camera back in ’62. I was always the one toting a camera along on adventures with my friends, picnics, school functions, etc. I was historian for numerous things, basically I just loved taking pictures. I have wanted to take classes in photography since the early ‘70s. It's ALWAYS been a passion. Tho I have always worried that if I tried to become a photographer and take pixs of people besides my family, that it would lose the “fun” aspect. I would have to please other people besides just myself. I don’t ever want to lose the joy of taking pixs. It is one thing that truly causes me pleasure. It is the one thing that gets me excited to get up and out of bed. The days I am taking pixs are my “happy” days. Sooooo, I have decided that when I grow up I want to be a photographer. It feels good to narrow down my dream and know where I want to head. I wrote a blog a while back about my love of photography. You can read it here if you would like.

Next Tuesday I take my 1st Photoshop class at TCTC. I am VERY excited. I took a digital photography class back in Spring of ’08 and had planned to take the Photoshop one in the Fall, but life happens. This is the next step in fulfilling my dream. I will keep you posted.

I Have a Passion

I have a hope, dream, passion, goal. Call it what you want – but I want to travel, write a book and take pictures. I can taste it, feel it and pull up a vivid picture of it. Dennis and I are traveling around the country in a Sabre 5th Wheel. We are stopped in a camp site next to a peaceful river. I am sitting outside writing on my laptop. I am writing a book about Reactive Attachment Disorder and our family. I am enjoying writing. Sitting there with my ice tea and being very productive. Dennis is off either riding his bike around or flying his power parachute. Either way he is happy as a clam. We have all the time in the world. When I take breaks in my writing I am taking pictures. I LOVE traveling, writing and taking pictures. Those are 3 of my passions.

Another passion I have is to see people more aware of reactive attachment disorder (RAD) and how to prevent it. I want to write and bring awareness to the world. If I can prevent just 1 child from being RAD, I will feel successful. But ideally I would love to see every teenage aware of RAD and how to prevent the children in their futures from having it. Everyone hears you need to bond with your baby, but no one tells what will happen if you don’t. And it isn’t a pretty sight. It is a miserable life for those who have it and just as miserable for those around them. I would love to see it taught in every school health class and home economics class. But 1st I need to write a few books on the subject!!!!!!!

How to Make Every Day Saturday

Sam Crowley thought he was following the "American Dream."

An ex-stuttering college dropout, Sam worked his way up to a corner office at a Fortune 100 company.

With a six-figure salary and all the perks, he was supposed to be content...but he was secretly MISERABLE.

Sam arrived home late every night, giving his best at work while his family got leftovers.

Like so many people in the corporate world, his American Dream had turned into a nightmare!!

One night, Sam's daughter Madeline uttered 4 innocent words that stopped him in his tracks and changed the course of his family life forever...

Arriving home late (again), Sam went upstairs to find his 3 year-old daughter already in bed.

She asked hm, "Daddy, is tomorrow Saturday?"

Saturday was the only day Sam had time to spend with his family - the only day he could be a real father.

**Every Day Is Saturday Is Born**

That night, Sam decided that someday soon, every day would be Saturday.

He realized that his ultimate goal was to be a great father for his children.

Sam managed to quit his job and start his own business that allows him the "Ultimate Saturday Lifestyle" as an international motivational speaker and business coach.

In short order, Sam was able to ...

-Go from speaking for free to getting paid $25,000 per keynote address

_Quit his job and spend more time with his 3 young daughters

_Start a motivational podcast that is now downloaded by 30,000 loyal subscribers in over 100 countries around the world

_And much, much more all based on nothing but the power of his dream!

And it's not just Sam who is making a massive transition - just look at what his students have accomplished:

_Dustin Salisbury, a 24 yer-old senior airman in the US Air Force, used Sam's message to conquer fear and adversity while deployed in Iraq

-Brian McElroy produced his first documentary film and helped raise over $100,000 for charity with Sam's guidance

-Dino Herbert was motivated by Sam to take action and truly live the life he wanted as a speaker, trainer, and author

**Six Days to Saturday**

While Sam was going through his on transition, and then started helping others reach their Saturday, he documented each step of the process.

He know it would become an invaluable blueprint for anyone with a dream to make their own Saturday a reality.

The result is "Six Days To Saturday," the first-ever audio series dedicated to helping you got from Monday to Saturday!

In six digitally mastered audio CDs (and an accompanying workbook), Sam takes you through each step of the process:

Monday - Feel The Pain and Write Your Future

Tuesday - Preparing For Success

Wednesday - The Time for Action!

Thursday - Failure is a Verb, Not a Noun

Friday - Commitment & Persistence

Saturday - You Are A Champion!!!

No matter what your Saturday may be, Sam's message is POWERFUL.

If you want to spend more time with family, make a bigger contribution to others, and bring your life to a whole new level, then Sam's message is for you.

Me, I want to be able to travel, take pictures and write a book or 2 about Reactive Attachment Disorder and our adoption journey.

Go there NOW and make EVERY day Saturday.

Have a wonderful day,
