  Click for more info by Skip Cohen Before the holidays, I shared a post about stepping away for a few days, and I did just that. It was the perfect way to recharge and step back into the new year. It's a new year with a fresh canvas, and like so many photographers I've spoken with, we're all pretty pumped up for the year ahead. It's time to mix up the routine, take new risks, and step out of your comfort zone. However, there's one daily routine Sheila and I refuse to change - reading something motivational each morning after breakfast. With the start of the new year, I can't think of a better thought to share than Melody Beattie's this morning. It's from one of her earliest books, but there is no expiration code on wisdom. It's a little too long for a blog post, so I'm paraphrasing what she wrote for January 2... Go on your own journey. Don't let others hold you back; don't hold them back. Don't judge their journey, and don't let them judge yours. Many of us started our journey by having the experiences others thought we should. Some of us tried to dictate the lessons and adventures of others, too. This caused pain and confusion for all. Learning those lessons, the lessons of setting each other free, became an important part of our journey...Go where your heart leads...Don't limit your own experiences. Don't limit the experiences of those you love, or those you meet along the way. It's a new year the perfect time to think about the journey ahead. What do you hope to accomplish in 2024? And like the quote below - it's a great time to dream with your eyes open! All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
