I am thankful that God loved us first so that we could love and live in abundant joy and thanksgiving.
I am thankful for my wonderful loving husband without whom I would not know the other half of my soul, and without whom I would not have come to know and experience God in my daily life. He has been a blessing to me since the day we met and continues to fill my life with love, purposefulness, and movie quotes.
I am thankful for my children who teach me everyday a little more about being a mother, who humble me, who bring me joy and laughter, and remind me of the sweet innocence we should all carry in our hearts.
I am thankful for my family - for my my mother who is always there for me, for my father who has always been a great example and able to make me smile. I am thankful for my in-laws who have made moving to Arizona less lonely and truly tried to make me feel at home here.
I am thankful for my friends, both old and new, who have opened their homes and their lives to us over the years and thru the years to come - people that I have trusted with my heart and, on occasion, my children. Without those amazing, wonderful people, I would not have come to know so much about myself or come to love others so much.
Reflecting on all of these wonderful blessings in my life almost always makes me think of those less fortunate who may not have as many, or, because of circumstances, may not be able to see all the blessings they do have. My heart truly aches for them and yearns to help. So this season, on top of the amazing special for mini sessions and sales on all other photography services (see the store for details), Pixelated Pixie Photography is giving back.
This holiday season I am committed to giving from my profits from Thanksgiving thru to the New Year to a cause that is very dear to my heart, supporting women who have been abused. 50% of everything I make this holiday season will be donated to Home for Hope Woman's Shelter in Casa Grade. Additionally, you can donate thru my website in the store by purchasing a $1, $5, $10, $25, $50, or $100 donation. I thank you all in advance for your support and love!
