Wow!

ezra:

I'm reading this book by Dane Sanders called "Fast Track Photographer."  Within this book, Dane describes creating your business with you as the center and not your fotos.  So he asked a series of questions that would help the reader possibly define themselves as a PERSON.  One of the questions he asks is, "What do you honestly think will make you happy?"  I thought of money, living in a super cool place, and even traveling...but all those don't necessarily make you happy...and I know that.  So I thought about it for another 1/10000000th of a second, and my TRUE answer is CONNECTING with other PEOPLE and HELPING PEOPLE.  Well isn't that what I do everyday as a Social Worker?  Well, if I do, it doesn't make me happy.  So I mentioned this to my wife and I came to realize something very important.  

Social Work is a Synthetic form of this natural, Holy, and righteous "thing" called LOVE!
This may offend some of my colleagues, but if they are so intrigued by repetitive paperwork and appointments by the hour, so be it.  I prefer to help people outside of those boxes! 

And a picture for Ron.  Lay off the Pork...this guy will appreciate it.
