OH! Anastasia!! I am THRILLED you now have a camera! All I can say is practice. Let the camera teach you. Let your subject matter teach you. Yes, books are essential for self education, but it is on the field where you really learn. And as for this post …. I am so honored that you would nominate me. And your special thank you brought tears to my eyes. I am the one who is lucky to have YOU in my life. Just knowing you come to Petals brightens my day.
I unfortunately no longer accept awards, but I will copy this link and put it on my Awards Page to give you credit for the incredible show of friendship you have shown to me here today. Bless you, my friend! Bless you! I will also keep you in my prayers, for I know what menopause has done to me and how it has distorted my self image of me. Stay strong! Think and ponder upon happy things. And above all, shoot shoot shoot like a maniac like me!!! You are about to fall in LOVE hard, and I do not say that lightly. I have become a camera megalomaniac, which from where I sit, is a GOOD thing. (((HUGS))) and KISSES, Amy

Dearest Amy,
I wanted you to know how deeply I appreciate your love, and support! I cherish our friendship! I’ve had such fun with my new toy! Since I’ve been on HRT I’m feeling so much better, I’m back to myself again! I appreciate your copying and linking my post on your site. You have Deeply Touched My Heart! Please enjoy the chocolates. I raise my glass of champagne to you My Dear Friend for giving me such a special gift that I will cherish for the rest of my days.
All My Love,
Anastasia 📷
Big Big Hugs & Kisses

I’ve been not too sure about HRT for myself, so I have elected to go l’natural. Not fun, none at all and the changes I have witnessed in my body are something I’ve really had to adjust to.
And as for the glass of champagne, I lift MY glass to you in following through and now walking into the majic world of photography. I look forward to see what you are capturing, which only can be Anastasia style, thus stars and majic! My Heart is so overfilled with happiness this morning, knowing that my friend followed HER HEART and now is embarking on a journey which will show her worlds she never even knew existed. OH! For the JOY you have given to me this day! I do LOVE you, my Sister of Soul. I also am so happy that you have begun to feel like you again. I’ve gone through the “re-wiring of the brain process” and the shutting down of certain areas of me, but, those changes have led me to pour my PASSIONS into photography. So all is GOOD!!! BIG (((HUGS))) Amy
