Can you believe that I didn't win? Well of COURSE you can. Did you see the talent that was associated with the Fresh Faces contest in Vegas? I came 2nd in the competition with over 10,000 votes, and the winner was with 16,000. These image choices that were included for this contest were amazing and stunning, and would definitely all be worthy of the award.

I applaud the winner Fresh Sugar Photography which is a fellow Canadian in Alberta. YAY! The image is of a child looking out a school bus window.

I am honestly so happy to have been put with this caliber of work. I had so many well wishers and support, via email, messages & even surprise door decorating when I got home (Thanks Jennifer!!!!). It only made me want to move further, and want to continue my photography and to shoot for the stars.

Love is what it is all about really. Loving your work, Loving what you do, Loving your life. I loved that I was even considered with my image of Chloe. I cannot tell you how proud I felt when I seen that image up with the others. I love what I do and am so grateful that I can do it. Thank you all, each and every one of you for your support and endless voting.

Remember, Love is really what it is all about.

Heather Wilson, a friend of mine put it in the Universe. She said she was going to write a book about her life according to her, and how people should take control of their lives. Of course, I was intrigued and very interested in hearing more! Within 5 months of meeting her, her first book arrived to her house. That's right. She told me within 5 months ago, that she was going to write a book and has now happened.

Just like many of you, Heather has two kids, and a cat. For over ten years, she chose to stay in an unhealthy marriage that did not allow her to follow her dreams or be who she was meant to be. After constantly living on the verge of being homeless, taking her kids to the food bank, and living on her husband's paycheck to paycheck mentality, she literally woke up one morning and decided to take charge of her life.


When she made the choice to get a divorce, she was a stay-at-home Mom with no job or savings; she was living with her parents; she was physically overweight and unhealthy; and she had totally lost her sense of self and confidence. She felt stuck and frustrated. She had no idea how she would change her life, but she knew she had to.


Within two years of that day, she bought her own house and crossed the finish line at the Honolulu Marathon. Since then, she has also overcome many obstacles including: losing over 50lbs, being the sole provider for a household, creating a work/life balance as a single mother, and acquiring the self confidence to follow her dream of helping others succeed.


Using her hard learned life experiences, along with lots of research, Heather figured out a process that enabled her to succeed beyond her wildest dreams. She continues to help individuals realize their true potential and live the lives of their dreams through coaching and speaking at events worldwide.


I am excited for Heather and love that she put her ideas and beliefs in herself into the Universe and was open to receiving the rewards. Every time I chat with her or photograph her, I leave feeling pumped about life! This is amazing!

Heather will be at Indigo today signing books from 1-3!! Go their and buy one, and get her to sign it! You can also check out Heather's
Lady in Red Website for more information on Heather or to buy her book.

Oh & P.S. That photo on the front cover of the book, yep, it's mine!

These last two photos I had to include. Heather's cat really wanted to be in on the photo shoot. The cats name is Aura, and she had an awesome "aura" about her! Aura climbed up around my neck and was so cute! I thought we better include Aura in our photos as she is proud of Heather as we all are!
