Other Versions of the Footprints Poem
Footprints in the Sand Poem - Version 1
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, You said that once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me."
The Lord replied,
"My son, My precious child, I love you and I would
never leave you. During your times of trial and
suffering, when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I Carried You."
Carolyn Carty, 1963
Footprints in the Sand Poem - Version 2
One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
"I don't understand why, when I need You most, You would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you,
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."
Margaret Fishback Powers, 1964
Footprints in the Sand Poem - Modern Day Version
One day, a person had a dream
On the sand, he saw footprints of two people side by side
One was his and the other was the Lord's
"Those footprints mark the life you've lived."
Lord, why did you step backwards
when I was climbing steep hills in my life?
Nor did you carry me..."
"My child whom I love,
I never left you and stepped backwards."
"Oh! a steep hill
Lord, please carry me."
"When we reach the top, you will have gotten stronger..."
Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord
Scenes from my life flashed across the sky,
In each, I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints;
other times there was only one.
During the lowest times of my life
I could see only one set of footprints,
so I said, "Lord, you promised me,
that you would walk with me always.
Why, when I have needed you most would you leave me?"
The Lord replied, "My precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
The times when you have seen only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
May God bless your reading of this poem.
Footprints in the Sand
Lord you said that once I decided to follow You,
We would walk side by side through life;
but when I needed You the most,
I saw only one set of footprints in the sand.
The Lord replied, "I love You and I would never leave You.
During your times of trial and suffering, when you see
only ones set of footprints, it was then that I carried You."
Footprints for Children
The Lord will always walk with you
Along life's blessed beach,
His footprints there beside your own,
Always within reach.
Two sets of footprints, side by side,
From dawn to setting sun,
Yet there may come a day, my child,
When you'll see only one.
But do not think the Lord has left you -
Nothing could be more wrong.
It's just that he has picked you up
To carry you along.
A Psalm of Life
Tell me not, in mournful numbers
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! life is earnest!
And the grave is not the goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow;
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
Find us farther than today.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Today, upon my garden walk,
Where fresh cement was laid,
You pressed your little heels and toes
And barefoot prints were made.
Beside this funny pair of feet,
With small and sturdy hand,
You wrote your own initials as
You write them in the sand.
Though you'll be growing up, my dear,
And leaving me someday,
These little footprints on the walk
Will never run away.
I'll keep them here forever, in
This special place, apart,
Just like the little footprints you
Have left upon my heart.
~ Kathy Dix
It's quite a feat of footwork
to walk in his shoes
ballet toed a mile or two
barefoot in the sand
seeing no footprint proof.
It's a feat of faith to follow.
Other Footprint Poetry
The first imprint of Spirit
As it lights upon the earth;
A walk upon a sunset beach
with child-like joy and mirth.
The steps we resolutely take -
despite the trail behind;
Our mark upon eternity
in the precious sands of time.
A life of love
is a life well lived,
and we are the lucky ones
who got a chance to share this.
You may be an outlaw
but you made it into everyone's hearts
and not one of us
will be the same for it.
Everything with a smile,
a kiss and a hug.
We cherish it all,
for better or worse.
By chance we are family,
by choice we are friends.
Hearts entwined we find strength
to face all life's challenges.
Hand in hand we step forward
knowing we leave footprints in the sand.
In His Footsteps
When someone does a kindness
it always seems to me,
That's the way God up in heaven
would like us all to be...
For when we bring some pleasure
to another human heart,
We have followed in His footsteps
and we've had a little part.
In serving Him who loves us
for I am very sure it's true.
That in serving those around us
We serve and please him, too.
~ Helen Steiner Rice
In Your Footsteps
I'm walking in your footsteps
You see I've lost my way.
The path we walked together
Is now the only one I take
You left me at the crossroads
When heaven called you home.
By retracing the path we travelled
Makes me feel I'm not alone.
Each day is a lonely journey
Since losing my best friend.
And now our paths can never cross
But like a fool I still pretend.
~ John Read
My Footprints
Someday I'll jump through puddles
take a stroll or run a race.
Someday I'll walk across the street
or maybe walk in space.
Someday I'll scale a mountain
or I'll join a ballet corps.
Someday I'll walk a tightrope
or explore the ocean floor.
Someday these feet will do some things
that only heaven knows,
but for today they are happy
just to wiggle all their toes.
Footprints Poem: Walk a Little Slower, Daddy
"Walk a little slower, Daddy"
Said a little child so small.
"I'm following in your footsteps
And I don't want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they are hard to see;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy
For you are leading me.
Someday when I'm all grown up
You are what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who will want to follow me
And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you."
Footprints of Love
Soft beams of moonlight
Snow covered hills.
A brilliant blue sky
And memories of daffodils.
A mockingbird's song
An owl in flight.
These little things
Bring such delight.
The love of a good man
The fire on the hearth.
Falling raindrops
On the tender earth.
A mountain tinged purple
A calm blue sea.
Acorns falling
From a mighty oak tree.
The smell of smoke rising
From chimneys on high.
Making its way
To clouds in the sky.
And stars shining brightly
From heaven above.
Leave on my heart
Their footprints of love.
~ Grace E. Bayne
A life of love

Walking with Grandpa
I like to walk with Grandpa,
His steps are short like mine,
He doesn't say "Now hurry up",
He always takes his time.
I like to walk with Grandpa,
his eyes see things like mine do,
Wee pebbles bright, a funny cloud,
Half hidden drops of dew.
Most people have to hurry,
They do not stop and see,
I'm glad that God made Grandpa,
Unrushed and young like me!
Footprints in the Sand Song Lyrics
People hand in hand
Future in the plan
Promises we make
Sometimes fade away
Like footprints in the sand
Love's a game of chance
I've come to understand
What my greatest fear is
Someday you'll disappear
Like footprints in the sand
But life was meant to live
And love was meant to give
No-one ever said
That you could depend
On whispers to the wind
Love's a game of chance
I've come to understand
What my greatest fear is
Someday you'll disappear
Like footprints in the sand
So I will build my castle on the sea
And pray that you'll come back to me
And there I'll wait faithfully
For your return, your return
Love's a game of chance
I've grown to understand
Hope will keep you near
She will reappear
Like footprints in the sand
In the sand, in the sand
~ George Benson
Tiny Footprints
These are my footprints,
so perfect and so small.
These tiny footprints
never touched the ground at all.
Not one tiny footprint,
for now I have wings.
These tiny footprints were meant
for other things.
You will hear my tiny footprints,
in the patter of the rain.
Gentle drops like angels tears,
of joy and not from pain.
You will see my tiny footprints,
in each butterflies' lazy dance.
I'll let you know I'm with you,
if you just give me that chance.
You will see my tiny footprints,
in the rustle of the leaves.
I will whisper names into the wind,
and call each one that grieves.
Most of all, these tiny footprints
are found on Mommy and Daddy's hearts.
Cause even though I'm gone now,
We'll never truly part.
Footprints in the Snow
One white and wintry Christmas Eve
in a village, long ago,
A young child took a journey,
leaving footprints in the snow.
Clutched within her tiny hand
she carried a small tattered heart,
Fashioned from some scraps of cloth,
wrapped in the charm of childlike art.
A manger scene of wood and straw
was the child's destination.
Her only Christmas wish,
to join Christ's birthday celebration.
She placed her precious handmade gift
upon the straw with care,
And before she turned to leave,
whispered a simple prayer.
The villagers who stood nearby
recall that night with awe,
Retelling every detail
of the miracle they saw...
A second set of footprints
appeared next to the girl's own.
They seemed to walk right by her side,
to see her safely home.
But there's no mystery in the presence
of this unseen Friend -
For once God's touched your heart,
you'll never walk alone again.
Footprint Quotes
May the footprints we leave behind show that we've walked in kindness toward the Earth and every living thing.
Leave footprints of love and kindness wherever you go.
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon.
Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday.
A little sand between the toes always takes away the woes.
There are no stumbling blocks in life... just stepping stones in disguise.
Life's not about the steps you've taken but the footprints you've left behind.
Kill nothing but time, leave nothing but footprints. Take nothing but pictures, keep nothing but memories.
No matter where you go in life or if we are far apart, a mother's love will always follow because you left footprints on her heart.
You can find the footprints of God wherever there is beauty, virtue, humility, justice, truth, love and peace. ~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Our memories of the ocean will linger on, long after our footprints in the sand are gone.
~ Anonymous

While it is well enough to leave footprints in the sands of time, it is even more important to make sure they point in a commendable direction. ~ James Branch Cabell

~ Lisa Clarke

-J.R.R Tolkien
"Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for Sungkai."-curiostraveller.com
Recently, we went to have our Sungkai/Buka Puasa or Break Fast/Iftar at Promenade Cafe, Promenade Hotel, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. We highly expect to see and consume some good foods at this cafe. We actually end up seeing more than what we have expected. Colors here and there, be it on the decorations or food/buffet presentation! In good way of course! We were pretty amazed on how much attention is actually payed to the details. In every single thing that we saw (or ate!), literally speaking. But did the food were good enough for the ever fussy curiostraveller.com team members palate? This is the main question to be answered throughout this particular review.

Our Experience
The Exterior & Decorations: As we see it
Be warned that our write up is always different from the other bloggers. When we reviewed a place and wrote up our experience, we tend to do it in details. Inch to inch, so to say, so that our readers will be able to have comprehensive and deeper understanding on the going-on. In the end, future guests will be able to make comparison and then decide whether to come or not. We entered the Hotel Complex with one simple expression : WOW. Yes, we wowed at each decorations that we saw. We were again surprised to have to wow again when entering the Promenade Cafe. The Ramadhan theme is like everywhere not to mention the feel of Hari Raya Aidilfirtir/Eid which being highlighted by using the Ketupat replica and many more. Green color are here and there, a color much associated to the Eid Celebration and of course the Promenade Hotel itself!
This is the decoration highlighted in the hotel lobby that has 4 sides with each side wishing guests A Blessed Ramadhan and at the same time creating some kind of excitement especially for the diners. Included in the decoration are some replicas indicating the excitement of soon to come Eid/Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
A clever design that portraying the traditional houses in typical Malaysian villages. It meant to tell guests that most Malaysians (especially the Malay) do return to their hometown during the festive season of Eid. The exact term in Malay Language is Balik Kampung. The hotel official hashtag #PromenadeKK is included as well!! Brilliant!
Changing color to orange, this particular decoration portraying how those Malay people celebrating Eid gather with friends and family, helping each other to prepare nicest dish for Iftar as well as Eid. There are some replica of Malay style traditional lanterns at the bottom of the decoration, famously known as Pelita. We love how the staffs creatively think of a good way to infuse both Ramadhan and Eid theme in one go. While admiring these decorations, we wondered actually what's being lined up for the Sungkai Buffet. It's time to see what's inside Promenade Cafe.
The Seating Arrangement & Buffet Stations @ Promenade Cafe
Altogether, there are 4 seating/dining areas and certainly being cleverly designed to enable guests to wander around, choosing good foods from 8 stations. We created the overall layout below in order to enable readers and future guests to know what's here and there. Our drawing is not using the right scale but at least it will give readers to see the entire layout of both seating arrangement and buffet stations.
This area is the most front seating/dining zone and being the entrance to the Promenade Cafe. The first Buffet Station is located in this area, which is the Beverages Station where guests can choose their favorite drinks from juices, cordials, famous Teh Tarik to coffee and tea.
This is middle section of the Promenade Cafe. To the left side is the Seating Area 2 and to the right is the Seating Area 3 & 4. In this particular middle area are the Buffet stations 3, 4 and 5 that features Malaysian and International dishes. Let's have a look at some of the dishes, shall we? (Mind you we will only show some dishes and not all otherwise this will be an epic post!)
Buffet Stations 4 & 5
This particular seating/dining area is much closer to the Buffet Station 2 that features healthy choices. Many kind of Salads and Appetizers being offered at this buffet station. Let's have a closer look at some of the Appetizers.
We must say that those seating in this area are probably the lucky one as they're definitely closer to the Station 8 that feature delectable Malaysian and International dessert.
Some of the delish cakes
This seating area is closer to the Buffet station 6 and 7. There is an exit here that leads to the outdoor area where BBQ/Grilled items can be found.
Station 6-Steamed Item can be found here
Delicious Dim Sum!
Just look at that beautiful and yummy Dim Sum! Did or did we not mention about the amazing colors in the Buffet Sungkai 2016?
Our Thoughts
The Pros
Staffs were 100% committed in giving the best foods and service to guests. They were all polite, friendly and most of them smiled genuinely. Yes, there were some non smiling staffs but we do understand the reason for being that. It was a hectic night, there were just too many people and at times few staffs began showing the fatigue sign. They are human beings and human beings do get tired when working in a hectic scene. Fatigue or not, they kept ensuring guests were happy with the foods, all the time.
We were amazed by the dessert line up, all of em' are of high quality in both taste and presentation. We love the Cheese Cake! It's definitely the best cheese cake that we ever consumed. It's so rich with not even the thinnest layer of sponge thing in it, if we may say that way. It's real cheese! For the mains, Nasi Briyani outshines all other dishes. With no hesitation, that's among the best Nasi Briyani in the entire Kota Kinabalu city. We must mention the super yummy delicious grilled Lamb. Grilled to perfection, the staff manning the grilled lamb station, skillfully cut the lamb meat nicely and most importantly gave @curiostraveller the biggest portion ever.
The Cons
We appreciate the effort by Promenade Cafe Team @ Promenade Hotel, Kota Kinabalu to line up the best selections for guests during Iftar especially on the date of our visit, which was on June 24, 2016. Yes, there were so many guests and almost full house, as we saw it. Pretty busy time for the Staffs be it front or Kitchen team, they were all 'running' here and there to ensure guests gets the best from the various buffet stations. Our minor critic though, there were at times when certain dishes at stations were a bit left unattended in terms of tidiness. Spills were seen on some buffet trays. No matter how busy, someone must be on standby to clear any unnecessary elements made by guests. Quite an enormous task but extremely important. Some people are paying attention into the details and that include both of us.
We HIGHLY recommend Promenade Cafe as an excellent dining outlet in Kota Kinabalu City. We recommend the same place for your Iftar/Buka Puasa not only for 2016 but for 2017 as well.
Special Mention
We were delighted not only to had such an excellent buffet dinner experience (for our Iftar) but also for receiving the complimentary Durian Crepes courtesy of the Promenade Hotel Management. We can't thank you enough for the delicious foods and beverages. The Durian Crepes tasted so good and rich with original Durian fillings. We will surely be buying that crepes in the near future as we are now addicted to em'! We personally want to thank these amazing and lovely people for hosting curiostraveller.com team members. Thank you so much; Anita, Jessica, Hansel, Alexander and Husin.
Delicious Durian Crepes!
The Sungkai Buffet is still on but do hurry up to indulge in the spectacular Promenade Cafe Sungkai Buffet 2016 as Eid is just around the corner. If you have to miss this amazing Buffet due to location and timing factors, no worries, we are pretty sure The Promenade Hotel Kota Kinabalu will be presenting better Sungkai Buffet for 2017.

Seeing What You Can't Normally See/
Technology gives us all super powers. There will always be people who can do what the average human can't, but the really astounding powers are things that no one can do, like see in slow motion, or crystal clearly underwater. But we have cameras to do that.

On the heels of her affecting sophomore album "Swift Arrows," released in July, Shelby Earl is back with a music video for the title track. The song details a particularly nasty breakup and makes the point that sometimes the best revenge isn't living well, it's throwing all of your anger back in that person's face. The video, directed by Neil Ferron, is a surreal, hilarious take on a wedding anniversary gone horribly awry. It's definitely worth four minutes of your day, if only for one of Earl's best songs. Earl spoke with Rolling Stone earlier this week about the thought process behind the video: "'Swift Arrows' is about the experience of being hurt by someone you once trusted and coming out of it a warrior, rather than a victim. It's also about our very human desire for revenge and the inclination to fire 'swift arrows' at those who've caused us pain, rather than choosing to heal and move on. When Neil Ferron, the writer-director, and I met to discuss ideas for the video, we decided we wanted to tell the story of an absurdly painful life event that ends up being unexpectedly redemptive." Check out the video above and then let us know what you think in the comments or on Twitter @soundposts. As a holiday bonus, Spotify now has Earl's "This Christmas Is for Us" available to stream. -Owen R. Smith, on Twitter @inanedetails Comments | More in General news, Rock/Pop | Topics: Shelby Earl

It's time to celebrate! 2013 marks exactly 100 years of development within the Bexar Street Corridor. Originally platted in 1913, Lincoln Manor, Lincoln Manor No. 2, Elite, Ervay Cedars, and Camps Peachland were the first housing developments to appear in neighborhoods contemporarily known as Ideal and Rochester Park/Bonton, both which sit within the Bexar Street Corridor in the southernmost portion of South Dallas. This research investigated the historic vicissitudes associated with those developments by virtue of markets and policy response. By examining the last 100 years of development history within the Bexar Street Corridor, this presentation aims to inform contemporary development practices and policy by understanding what was effective, what was not, why, and what that meant for the community.

text: Share: Comments Print May 20, 2014 at 5:00 AM Can't we all get along? Writer calls for truce in education wars Posted by Claudia Rowe Sam Chaltain First he was a private school teacher in New York City. Then, briefly, a public school teacher. After that, Sam Chaltain spent years studying schools across the country trying to determine what qualities were common to the very best. In Washington, D.C., his current hometown, Chaltain got an unusual opportunity to examine two vastly different models up close. For nine months, he observed a new charter program struggling to get off the ground, and contrasted this with the daily ebb-and-flow of life at a 90-year-old neighborhood school. The result is "Our School: Searching for Community in the Era of Choice." Chaltain, 43, insists that he never intended to compare and contrast the schools in order to anoint one better than the other. Rather, he strives to present on-the-ground realities in each, with a mind toward suggesting a path forward. As Washington state prepares to open its own charter programs next year, his experience may have particular resonance for public school parents faced, for the first time, with a choice. What follows is a condensed version of a conversation between Chaltain and The Seattle Times. He will be discussing his book at Powell's in Portland on Wednesday. Q: As you know, Washington is set to open its first charter schools next year. Can you share any lessons learned from your observations of a first-year program in action? A: I'd say get away from the false notion that the solution relies on either more — or less — charter schools. Charters and public schools need each others' strengths. What districts need most is a greater sense of innovation, the ability to think in new ways about old problems. Charters have all those things in spades — by design, everything is up for re-creation, all the way down to report cards. So ask: How can you ensure that not everything is up for reinvention? Are there structures that can connect district schools and these autonomous charters? Q: You were a teacher yourself. Why did you step away from the classroom after six months as a public school educator? What was unworkable there? A: In a word, everything. But it was less about that school than my realization that teaching is really unsustainable work. What made it unsustainable were inefficiencies that overwhelmed any sense of reward you got from the kids. We were so clearly undervalued. Think about it. First, there are the pressures of trying to be a good teacher, 180 days a year, five presentations a day, working with 100 to 200 students. Add their parents into that, and it's managing up to 200 relationships. Teachers are being asked to do things that they're not fully equipped to do. Q: You knew a lot going into your year-long school observation project. In the end, did anything surprise you? A: Yes, the degree to which schools are almost entirely staffed by young, single women who had basically accepted the idea that the way to solve our problems in education was with a disposable work force. That's insane. You would never have Doctors for America, doing two-year stints as a pit stop on the way to some other career. Yet in teaching we accept this. Part of it has to do with the ongoing misogyny of our culture. Teaching is still seen as women's work, a sub-profession. Not only is that incorrect, it's a horrible strategy for dealing with the one institution that offers the closest thing to a silver bullet that we have in American society. Q: What's common to good schools — whether publicly or privately funded? A: The truth is most schools are pretty good. Very few are truly great. But among those you see again and again that they create a culture among the adults that is collaborative, transparent and empowering. Kids pass through. Adults are the keepers of the culture. The way that you make lasting change is by valuing and supporting the adults, the educators. We may give lip service to this, but we lack sufficient examples of how to do it well. The reality is, we're still more likely to be persuaded by the illusory hardness of the quantitative proof — test scores — even though there is an overwhelming consensus that reading and math scores are not enough. Q: You seem to be advocating that we take a few breaths and decide, first, how we define success. Then, how to measure it. But isn't the glacial pace of innovation part of the problem? A: The question is not: Are charter schools the answer or the problem? It's not even, how do we close the achievement gap? The question is, what does high-quality teaching actually look like? What all of us need to do is spend some time thinking about what are the old habits that we need to let go of in order to let new ideas come into being? It's about being clearer in the questions we ask. Q: About the national picture, are you optimistic? Worried? A: All of the above. I'm optimistic that we're starting to shift from the job of the kid is to adjust to the school, and toward the job of the school is to adjust to the kid. After that, I'm worried. We overvalue the things that we can quantifiably measure. We continue to speak in oppositional, two-dimensional terms about one another. You're either working for the righteous or the damned. But it's not about pro- and anti-. It's about to-what-end? Comments | More in News | Topics: charter schools, Q&A, Sam Chaltain

Teen reaches plea deal in Hurst slaying
FORT WORTH -- One of seven teens accused of fatally shooting a Hurst man in a robbery that went bad near Hurst Junior High in February has been sentenced to 10 years probation for his role in the slaying, a prosecutor said Thursday.
Four others, including the accused shooter, are awaiting trials on charges of capital murder.
Cary John Adair, 18, of Hurst, reached a plea agreement with the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office last week and pleaded guilty to aggravated assault serious bodily injury.
The 18-year-old also agreed to testify against others in this case, prosecutor Mark Thielman said Thursday.
Adair had been charged with capital murder in the killing of Reed Ballard, 20, of Hurst, who police say was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
On the night of Feb. 15, police say Ballard rode with an 18-year-old friend who was on his way to sell marijuana at the junior high to one of the teens, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
But the marijuana purchase was a ruse to allow the teens to assault the 18-year-old in retaliation for an alleged burglary that the teens believed Ballard's friend had committed against one of them, the affidavit states.
According to the affidavit, without provocation, a then 15-year-old in the group pulled out a small handgun and fired into a Chevrolet Blazer, killing Ballard.
The affidavit states that Adair drove a few of the accused teens up to the junior high.
Other teens: The 15-year-old has been certified to be tried as an adult. Russell Dow, now 16, is awaiting trial on a capital murder charge.
Miguel Alcorta, 18; James Dallas Hudgins, 17, and Scott Thomas Defee, 18, all of Hurst, also are awaiting trial on the same charge.
Probation: Two 16-year-olds were placed on probation earlier this year until they turn 18 in exchange for testifying against the others. The teens are not being identified because they are juveniles.

Calling all freshers
Coming to Bristol as a new fresher? Are you a bell ringer already? Have you never
rung a bell in your life? Do you like meeting new people and drinking on a work night?
If you answered yes to any of the above, come and join us! We welcome all students of any ringing ability from the University of Bristol, the University of the West of England and all other higher education institutions in Bristol.
How do I join?
- You're welcome to come to any of our practices on Tuesday nights, at St Matthew's Kingsdown. See the calendar for dates.
- You can email our master Matthew Jerome, or email our secretary Sebastian Small for further details
We look forward to seeing you soon!
The Society of Change Ringers (aka UBSCR) is one of the University's oldest societies!
Established in 1943, we're a group of bellringers who ring on church tower bells across Bristol, practising the ancient art of change ringing.
We welcome ringers and non-ringers of all abilities to join us.
Our home tower is St Matthew's Kingsdown. We go there every Tuesday night from 19:30-21:00 during term time. We're lucky in that we can ring at several other towers, including St Philip & Jacob, St John-on-the-Wall, St James, St Lord Mayor's Chapel and St Michael on the Mount, Without.
More information about the society is available here.
Change Ringing?
Before going to the pub, when we ring the bells, a team of ringers (any number, but often 8) ring one bell each in turn. Each person's bell is numbered from 1 to 8, with the lightest bell sounding the highest note numbered 1, through to the heaviest and lowest bell numbered 8. When rung in a descending scale this creates the first 'row': 12345678. In order to produce different rows, a pre-learnt mathematical pattern is rung which changes the order of the bells. This is known as 'change ringing', as the bells continuously change order from one row to the next. Learning the patterns and ringing them in a team is where the fun really starts!
What makes Change Ringing fun?
Ringing the 'changes' provides an excellent challenge for anybody to try. Once you have mastered handling the bell itself, there is the mental task of learning and ringing the patterns; this requires a lot of concentration. There is also the musical task of keeping in time within a band and striking your bell accurately and evenly spaced among the others. As a team we try and maintain a good sense of rhythm so that we can ring well together - this is important as we frequently ring in towers where the public can hear us! The bells can also be quite a physical challenge to ring. At the tower we ring at, the first bell weighs around 250kg (5 cwt.), but the eighth and heaviest bell weighs over 1000kg. It can be very hard work ringing it in time with the lighter bells. So after a good practice we all go to the pub to reward ourselves!
We're not just a ringing society. We spend at least as much time drinking as we do ringing! The society has many socials (Fresher's Bar Crawl, Cheese and Port night, Pudding Party, Summer BBQ to name a few!). We also have a Christmas Dinner and a Formal Dinner in January to which all past and present members are invited. We go on at least two weekend tours a year where we travel across the country, ringing and drinking as we go! In November we compete against other universities at the famous SUA and NUA (Southern/Northern University Association) events.
If any mistakes (the Webmaster can't spell, so be wary!) are found on this website, or you have any suggestions relating to content or features the Webmaster would love to hear about them.

Random Photos: The Lowell Trolley (or not)
I was really excited to find out that Lowell actually has a
streetcar service
downtown. But it turns out it's seasonal. So, all I could do was take some pictures of one of the stations.
An old Boston and Maine locomotive on display at the stop.
It looks so enticing...
Looking down the tracks.
This is the closest I got to seeing a streetcar.

ain't that good news
Last day of 2010! And it was a good 'un. I went into town, relaxed in one of my favourite spots with my notebook, came home and discovered my mum's old typewriter from the 70s and made heart-shaped chocolate cakes. Excellence.
So these shorts again. I can't stop wearing them. They're just too perfect. And yes! My hair is red now. It has been for a few weeks, but I don't think it was totally noticeable in my last outfit post. I'm a little bit in love with it.
I hope everyone has a spectacular new years, whether you're partying hard or chilling even harder.

Inspiration time. I spent my yesterday watching But I'm a Cheerleader and it was overloaded with style. Hella entertaining but what got me were the barbie dreamhouse vibes, the oversaturated colours, the sweaters and full skirts, the librarian glasses, the old school barrettes and the intense pink and blue palette. Visual feast.

white wine in the sun
Merry boxing day amigos! I hope y'all had yourselves excellent christmases. Or weekends. Or both! Mine was deliciously pleasant - good food, good wine, good company, good air conditioning - that's all you need, really.
Today was equally relaxing - sitting back with my newly acquired Community dvd (after watching the Doctor Who christmas special o' course), a ridiculous amount of chocolate and these boss shorts. I kind of feel like I'm channeling Sloane Peterson? A 39˚C version, anyway.

CHICAGO – Bacon prices could be hard for U.S. shoppers to swallow this summer. Analysts said prices for the cured meat used in the summertime favorite BLT — the bacon-lettuce-and-tomato sandwich — could soar due to tight supplies of hogs in the United States.
The price of pork bellies, the raw material for bacon, could head higher in the coming months after dropping from record-high levels set last autumn.
Bacon prices last fall approached $5 per lb nationally as pork bellies shot to a record $160 per hundredweight in September because there were fewer hogs around. Swine producers have been reluctant to expand their herds due to high feed costs after corn hit an all-time high near $8 per bushel nearly three weeks ago. Corn prices have since tumbled 15 percent as investment funds exited the market.
"Tight hog supply ideas, BLT season and the size and extent of this spring's pork belly price decline makes it more conducive for bellies to rally near last year's highs," said Dan Vaught, analyst and owner of Vaught Futures Insights.
There were 64.6 million hogs in the United States in 2010, down 2.2 million from 2009. September 2010 belly stocks totaled 4.8 million lbs, according to USDA data. Analysts said this is far below the average of 14.0 million lbs for that month over the 2001 to 2010 period.
USDA data last week showed May's pork belly inventory at 56.5 million lbs, up 28 percent from a year earlier but down 6 percent from the 10-year average. The May belly inventory appears excessive because it was compared with a much-smaller amount last year, Vaught said.
Also, more bellies were likely funneled into warehouses because of extremely high meat prices, including bacon, that curbed consumption, he said.
Bacon use typically spikes during the summer BLT season. That demand tapers off as cooler weather favors sales of other pork cuts, which usually allows belly prices to fall.
However, the scarcity of hogs propelled the price of pork bellies to their second highest level ever in April at $150 per cwt before they bottomed out at $115 by early June.
Pork bellies have since clawed back to $131 as the height of bacon's summer demand season approaches.
Bob Brown, an independent market analyst, predicts bacon prices will surpass year-ago levels as pork bellies hit $140 to $150 in August due in part to snug hog supplies.
USDA last Friday projected only a 0.6 percent bump in the summer hog supply as high-priced feed keeps a lid on expansion plans.
Rich Nelson, Allendale Inc's director of research, also expects an increase in pork belly prices over the next few months and sees bacon close to $6 per lb. He said hogs may be even harder to come by this summer if they are exposed to long stretches of hot weather.
Prolonged periods of sweltering heat slows weight gains in pigs and inhibits their breeding, resulting in fewer hogs for slaughter and less fresh pork for sale.

I don't like the Academy Awards much, and hadn't planned on watching, although my three daughters are already glued to pre-event coverage of the "red carpet." Among other things, the last thing I need to hear is moronic anti-Bush commentary by "comedians" and actors. But, cruising Yahoo News photos as I often do, I ran across this photo, hot off the press (so to speak), of Beyonce Knowles, who will perform tonight:
I changed my mind. I'm watching after all.
UPDATE: That was a mistake, of course. One "Chris Rock," the host, whom I've never otherwise heard of, led off with an idiotic anti-Bush tirade. $70 trillion? Interesting statistic. What was noteworthy was not the host, who obviously knows nothing, but the crowd–every single person there laughed and applauded. So much for the Academy Awards. I'm curling up with a good book, about which more later.
UPDATE 2: For those interested in more of an insider's take than mine (ha! that would be just about anyone's), Roger Simon has been live-blogging the ceremony.

text: This week at Moving Poems we're marking the 15th anniversary of the US Congress' nearly unanimous passage of the Authorization to Use Military Force on September 14, 2001, which launched the modern era of essentially endless, unlimited war. How better to begin than with Iraq War veteran Brian Turner's justly famous poem "Here, Bullet"? In an interview recorded at the 2009 Poetry International Festival at Rotterdam, Turner acknowledges the influence of Philip Levine's poem "They Feed They Lion." The video concludes with his recitation of the poem.

I Love Fit4Mom
- Details
- Category: Fitness & Motherhood
- Posted on Wednesday, February 17, 2016
For the month of February we focus on what we love and care about. Since having kids I enjoy the Valentine holiday even more. I love making the cute Pinterest Valentine cards for the kids classmates, putting hearts on their bedroom doors telling them what I love about them and eating heart shaped pancakes for breakfast. My Valentine holiday sure looks a lot different now then it did while dating my husband or marriage pre-kids but I wouldn't change a thing!
Valentine's Day is usually about the people you love; family and friends but it is also a time to think about the other aspects of your life that you love. I love so many parts of my life, all of them actually! I have amazing family and friends and a job that I LOVE! I wish all people could say that!
I am the owner of Fit4MomFredericksburg which is a Fit4Mom franchise. I have owned the franchise for 5 ½ years. Before purchasing the franchise I was a kindergarten teacher. I loved teaching but wanted to be home with my kids and when the opportunity of owning Fit4Mom came up I did it! My mom was listening to a business podcast and heard Lisa Druxman, the founder of Fit4Mom talking. She looked online and found that the Fredericksburg location was currently for sale, seemed like fate!
Within a month I had purchased the franchise and became trained to teach group fitness classes. Everything was moving so quickly and because I had signed my teaching contract for the next year I went back to teaching for one more year. I had another instructor teach for my fitness classes during the week and I taught evening and weekend classes. It was a crazy and busy first year of my business but it was all worth it!
Fast forward to 5 years later and I am teaching Stroller Strides classes in the morning and Body Back classes in the evening. I have had and have some amazing instructors who teach great classes and I am very grateful for! For those of you who aren't familiar with Fit4Mom it is a fitness group that caters to all moms regardless of their stage of motherhood. My location offers Stroller Strides and Body Back classes. Stroller Strides classes are a full body workout that moms bring their little ones to. We involve the children in classes by singing songs, reading books and blowing bubbles. Body Back is a boot camp style class that is offered in sessions. These classes are just for the women, no babies this time but we do offer childcare on site!
Now if you're wondering why I love my job and Fit4Mom so much here it is;
- Fit4Mom allows me to bring my children with me to work. I am able to be with them all day and never miss any of their milestones or activities. I can also work the business side of Fit4Mom at home during naptime.
- Attending Fit4Mom classes allows me and the other moms to make new friends. Being a stay at home mom is hard, you can get lonely and by attending classes you will meet new friends. Over the last five years I have made so many new lifelong friendships. The friendships built in classes usually carries over to playdates and our monthly Mom's Night Outs. It's so important for moms to have an outlet and Fit4Mom is amazing at embracing all women.
- Moms' friendships aren't the only relationships that are being formed at classes. The kids attend classes together all week and play after class at our weekly playgroups. There's nothing cuter than a whole bunch of little ones who are running around together having a great time. My kids birthday parties are always full of Fit4Mom kids!
- The quote, "Children are great imitators, so give them something great to imitate," has never been so true. Our children see us workout daily, that gives them a positive outlook on exercise. They see exercise as fun, something to do with friends and that making healthy choices is a priority. There are not many toddlers that can perform squats, burpees and jumping jacks but the Fit4Mom kids can! There have been countless times where my children have lunged down store aisles, held plank in the living room and done tricep dips on our front steps. Instead of leaving your children in the gym daycare while you workout your children are right alongside you watching you and seeing you as a positive role model.
- A perk of teaching Fit4Mom classes throughout the week is that I get to spend my mornings with cute babies and kids. We have a great time together singing and playing. Of course there are days when we have some cranky little ones and that is okay too, that just means that I get to hold them!
- The obvious positive about Fit4Mom is the workout. Each class that you attend is a full body workout and incorporates so many fun elements that most of the time you don't even feel like you are working out!
As you can see Fit4Mom is amazing! I LOVE every aspect of my job. I know it sounds corny but when I say I am truly the luckiest woman in the world to do this everyday! I love bringing fitness, friendship and the feeling of community to moms in this area. I am so thankful that my mom heard that podcast, my life and the life of my family would be so different right now!

Capital One News: Named Best Workplace 2013
News Updates from Capital One
Capital One News Update: Capital One Named Best Workplace 2013. The credit card company takes the top honours for being the best place to work in Europe.
Capital One, the credit company based in Nottingham, have won the prestigious 'Europe's Best Workplace' title for 2013 as it has been endorsed by its employees as a great place to work. The annual ranking of companies features the most comprehensive study of opinions from the workplace and working culture and then puts together a list of the 100 best places to work in Europe.
Each year, 'Great Place to Work Trust' who make the award, take a frank poll of workers to find out what they really think about the place where they work and what their perceptions of their employer really are. The feedback that the Trust received from more than 650 Capital One employees showed that Capital One employees felt that they were valued for their contribution and felt themselves to be considered an important part of the business. Employees' particularly appreciated the fact that Capital One had a good fun and life balance that made employees look forward to coming to work. They also felt that their employer had a good focus on the community aspect of life and work.
Capital One's mission statement is 'Let's make lives better' and each year, gives all staff a day off to celebrate. This, employees said, gave an extra feeling of being united and added to the 'family' feel of the business. The annual festival – Visionfest is a chance for Capital One employees to show off their creative gifts. Managing Director at Capital One Brian Cole commented that he was delighted that the company had received the level of recognition afforded by the Best Workplace In Europe for 2013 award and said that the hard work that had been put into the concept of 'making lives better' for both customers and staff was obviously reaping rewards. He said that the company was constantly trying to make the workplace somewhere that staff wanted to come and that would motivate them. He added that he was proud of the unique culture that Capital One had.

Robert Levering, The Co-Founder and Global CEO of Great Place to Work, said that the companies in the running for the award for 2013 had all worked hard to build camaraderie and trust amongst those who worked for them and that Capital One were a worthy winner of the award.

Well, it is officially that time of year! I have started my Christmas shopping and the holiday party invites are rolling in. Last week I got some great gift inspiration from the team over at Momtrends. They held their annual #MTHoliday Soiree at Studio 1315 in New York City and it did not disappoint! Here are some of my favorite brands and products that were featured:
Hasbro. Even though I am a little hurt that they did away with my favorite pink character in Hungry Hungry Hippos, I still love and own every single game on this table! I enjoyed hearing about how they are being updated to make them more current. For example, Chromecast and Hasbro are collaborating on an app called "Monopoly Here & Now: Big Screen Edition".
Fun fact, we got a Jenga in our swag bags and Taylor and I have been playing it constantly. Here is some video of me getting my butt kicked by my ten year old…
POM Wonderful. I love the taste of pomegranate but I have always been too intimidated to cook with it on my own. At this event I learned an easy technique on how to open them (in a bowl of water so that the white membrane floats to the top) and got to sample some delicious drinks and recipes. I never would have thought that plantain chips with guacamole and pomegranate would be such a yummy combo!
Epson. I must confess that I don't even own a color printer right now because dealing with replacement ink cartridges was so expensive and inconvenient that I just gave up. After meeting the rep from Epson I may give it another shot though. Their new Epson PictureMate PM-400 Personal Photo Lab wireless printer is so small that it can fit in a large purse, it uses low-cost replacement ink bottles and it prints gorgeous pictures! I was really impressed by it (especially it's size). It definitely packs a lot of bang for the buck and would make a great gift.
Tessemaes. These dressings, dips and sauces are dairy free, gluten free, have no sugar added and yet they still taste great! I have no idea how they managed it but it's the truth. I think they would be a fabulous edition to the stocking of a foodie in your life. I plan to put a jar of the Chesapeake Mayonnaise in my Dad's stocking!
Thank you to Momtrends for having me and to all the wonderful sponsors!

New Satio, it's great but 30 things......
.....that are annoying me.
Just got myself a Satio. Why are the AAS boys not reviewing this yet? It's S60, I'd have thought they'd have been all over this feature packed model.
I think it could be a good phone, in time.
So far I love:
The looks.
The build quality.
The big 3.5 gorgeous screen.
The viewing and handling of pictures with the touchscreen.
The walkman UI with album art.
The camera is great.
The nice UI bits that Sony have grafted over the top of S60 in places.
The quick access to content from home screen and fast viewing of photos.
The home screen layout.
The action of camera slide.
Ive had many S60 phones, my last phone was an N82 which is still the best phone ever made. I have a young baby so I need a decent camera, plus Ive been longing for some large screen real estate to view pictures, movies, maps and web on. So the Satio seemed like an ideal replacement with the added bonus of being built on S60 which is a well trodden path for me with excellent multitasking capabilities.
Ive only ever owned Nokias but their recent products have finally pushed me over the edge, I cant wait forever. Lets be honest, what most people really want from a smartphone is an iPhone form factor (large screen), no slide out qwerty (makes phone too big), true multitasking with a decent camera and a xenon flash. That is the Satio! Id quite like a N900 without qwerty and better camera and xenon.
So far I like the phone a lot, its more a case of me getting used to S60v5 (touch) rather than me getting used to the Satio, Ive only ever used the non-touch versions of S60 so this is all new to me. Having to know when to touch once or twice in the menus take some getting used to but I understand this is a limitation of porting traditional S60 to a touchscreen format.
As much as Im learning to love the Satio, there are quite a number of issues with the new handset. Hopefully some can be fixed in future firmware versions. Sony, please listen and help make a good phone great!
My phone is unlocked, used in UK on O2 network. Firmware is current latest, 1218-9500_R1BB041, dated 06-10-09, custom version, 1224-3823_R1AB029.
30 things that annoy me. These issues are not in order, but the real big issues that hurt usability I will mark with **, please read on
1. Wi-Fi suffers from drop outs every now and again. Cant seem to find a cause, just every now and again.
2. ** There is no way to search by name for an MP3 in Media, I have over 1200 songs on the memory card and no other way to find a track except scrolling through the entire list. Unbelievable!
3. I cannot order videos in date order. Only be ordered by filename.
4. When I have a picture attached to a contact and that person calls me, the contact picture appears ok but it is partially obscure by the contact name area.
5. ** Battery life = Not Good! Everyone knows this, not news. Please let the 1350mAH battery rumour be true
6. When a call is received the vibration starts for about 5 seconds before the ringing starts. This might be a feature or a bug, who knows. I just wish there was a setting to choose.
7. When connecting to my bluetooth handsfree car kit there is no profile I can select for this in Accessories menu. So when my phone is on silent in the office, it stays on silent when I get into my car. Other S60 phones had a handsfree profile. Strange this is missing as the Satio has profiles for Headset, Textphone and TV Out. Also the earpiece volume is used as the handsfree volume. This is not the case with other S60 phones.
8. ** To search for a contact is a long winded process. Being sent to a split over two page non-qwerty keyboard to start your keypresses is hardly ideal. Why not qwerty or alphanumeric like normal S60 contacts finding? Also no contact link from normal homescreen.
9. No equalizer in Satio Media music player. Why? This is standard in all S60. I think the Satio has suffered in some cases by not using the S60 music player but benefitted in others (better to look at).
10. **Kinetic scrolling is excellent in the Media menus and other areas grafted on by Sony. But no kinetic scrolling in the normal S60 parts of the UI make getting around lists such as contacts very difficult and non-intuitive. Can we not have kinetic scrolling in all menus like N97 V2.0 firmware?
11. My Blueyonder e-mail works fine but for some reason the normal automatic retrieval settings do not work. I cannot get my e-mail checked every 30/60 mins etc, I can only connect manually?
12. Camera is excellent but the settings menu seem hard to change, the on screen settings need a hard push or several pushes to register a touch.
13. ** Screen sensitivity is not great. I know its resistive but sometimes the screen registers the touch but the UI does not react, sometimes it just does not register. Very strange. Sometimes the screen needs several touches or sometimes a really hard touch (Im not talking about the normal S60 parts of the UI that need 2 touches to first select and then activate).
14. ** Im not sure if the flash is weak or camera software needs changing but photos taken in low light look dark and hard to view, even at very close flash ranges of 1 metre.
15. Autorotate is bit too eager and trigger happy. The sensitivity angle could be reduced a bit please.
16. If we could have some brightness and contrast controls in video player would be good.
17. Accuweather for S60v5 install and appears to run ok until it tries to access network and then gives some strange error message. Nothing can be resolved by setting changes.
18. No RDS on the radio? Yet I think it was advertised as having RDS.
19. When photos are geotagged, unlike in N series phones there is no option to view on a map. Because no Nokia maps integrated I guess, just Google Maps and Wisepilot.
20. Speaker phone volume is a low from the loudspeaker.
21. Cannot save files that are bluetoothed to me on the memory card. If the file is too big for phone memory (See number 22) then no option to save to memory card. (I think this is an S60 issue on all phones I seem to recall)
22. ** Small amount of usable C drive space (50/60Mb) even though I install all apps and save everything to memory card.
23. ** Apparently Satio has 256Mb of RAM but you would not realise it as it struggles to do more than one thing at a time. This should be S60s strength coupled with all of the Satio RAM. Whats going on?
24. Wheres the Satio Facebook App? Many can be downloaded but Satio is advertised with dedicated Facebook App.
25. ** I have set up the relevant access points in Destinations (Wi-Fi priority 1, network data priority 2). Ive also set up all of the apps to use the correct destination and I still get asked which destination to use on app start up.
26. ** Predictive text (T9) with the alphanumeric keypad has issues! When trying to enter one letter, say m, n or o by pressing 6 key once, I cannot then toggle between them with the * key like you normally can with predictive text! I have to enter and spell n and o manually! Ridiculous!
27. ** When entering a full stop or comma or symbol after a word when I try to toggle with the * key the word is changed! Ridiculous!
28. ** Sometimes movies/videos give a could not play file message when I launch them in Media. If I reboot the phone then they will play ok if I do it first thing without using the phone for anything else. This seems like some memory usage issues.
29. ** No 3.5mm earphone socket or micro USB. We have Sony fast port instead. I'm sure there was good design reasons for this (cramming so much tech into the form factor) but it's just a real shame and I hate it. I know there is an adapter to use your own earphones but still the placement of the fast port is rubbish on the left hand side. It's difficult to hold with earphones plugged in.
30. ** No 'CLEAR' or 'C' key like Nokia S60 phones. This has a big implications in that I've realised when you gold down the menu button to view running apps, there is no way to close the the app from the 'running apps' list. You have to select the app and go to it and follow the exiting procedure. This is long winded. Also when some apps are crashed you have to reboot the phone where as on Nokia S60 phones you could hit 'C' and most of the time the app would shut from the running apps list.
In general the Satio seems far from optimized in many ways. 256 Mb of RAM is not well used, it seems to get bogged down and tied up doing not very much at all! What the N97 would give for 256Mb of RAM and it would use it well, a lot better than the Satio.
Many of these fixes can be ironed out with firmware updates. I dont expect Sonys implementation to be as slick as Nokias, Nokia grew up with S60 and matured the OS to where it is today. I like what Sony is doing with S60, taking a good old reliable workhorse and making it look pretty. As long as that prettiness does not detract from the rock solid S60 functionality.
Please help us Sony, the Satio is very close to being an absolute winner.

-- hit/hold the middle key - brings up running apps .. select the one you want to close .. or swap to .. hold on that should bring up Open/Exit

The past three days have been a complete whirlwind of people, learning, and inspiration. As I mentioned last week, I was shocked and thrilled to win a seat at WPPI University in Atlanta (thank you Adorama). So, bright and early Sunday morning (well, not so bright since it was actually 4:45 IN THE A.M.), Ashley, Alicia, Lila, and myself hit the road to learn from a few of the most incredible folks in the industry. It was amazing to hear photographers like Tamara Lackey, Lindsay Adler, and Sue Bryce tell their antecdotes of success and struggle and share the wisdom they have gained through their experiences.
BUT, perhaps the best part of this trip was having the chance to hang out over dinner at Taco Mac with the lovely Jasmine Star (thanks to Ashley, who you may recognize as one of the attendees at J*'s creativeLIVE course earlier this year). Although she had trouble accepting the deep South's traditions of closing restaurants on Sundays and actually obeying crosswalk signals (they apparently do neither of these in California), we had a great time laughing, exchanging stories, and talking about the power of positivity. It's all about the golden rule, y'all. Jasmine truly is a beautiful person, inside and out, and such an inspiration to me and so many others.
And without further ado, the group picture...
Thanks to all of you ladies for being so fun, uplifting, and the best travel buddies a girl could ask for. You are all such incredible women and amazing photographers, and I can't wait to see what great things this next year brings for all of you!
