While out of town this past weekend, we visited the Bernheim Forest Giants so I could take some family photos for one of my gal pals. Next to one of the giants, I saw two people taking pictures of each other on their phones. I silently creeped in the shadows until they were finished so I could ask if I could take some shots to send to them. And as you can tell, they were super cool and said yes.
Once I got home and I was looking through the photos, I noticed their shirts said "EVOLVE" and "GROW" and immediately knew they were doing this as some sort of poetic representation.
I messaged Mari'Yah and asked if there was a certain "vibe" I could edit into the photos to go along with the story they were trying to tell.
AND GUYS - you will never guess what she told me.
"It's a part in a story about new beginnings after death."
I, of course, told her that I'd lost my daughter recently and photography was what I've started doing in honor of her. I mean... what are the chances.
We were meant to be there at that time together, and it just solidified for me that I'm on the exact path I need to be. And as a bonus, I've gained a new friend with the best energy.
