There's a blog that I visit regularly, where the author references that quote often. It's a motivator and a challenge all rolled into one. What is it that you plan to do with your one life?
After people my age graduated college, we looked for jobs. and looked, and looked... and looked. It wasn't the worst of times, but it wasn't the best of times either. And as opportunities came up, they were snatched. I know people who moved across the country for jobs, I have a sister who did temporary substitue jobs for years, and I know some people who went back to school for the hope of more opportunity.
The thing is, at the end of the day, there is pressure to provide. Bills need to be paid, groceries need to be bought, and like the name reveils, unexpected expenses come up when you least expect them. To have a job is a blessing. But to many, it's still just a job.
I'll tell you what encourages me though. People like these two.

Readers, this is Rachael and Lauren. In addition to working jobs that pay the bills, these two ladies are following their passions. They have each taken note of the one wild and precious life they have been given, and are on the brink of doing something great with it. They've used their non-working hours to start Seersucker and Lace, an event planning company. They're smart, and capable, and have a natural drive to help make celebrations fabulous.

So when the two of them asked if I'd be interested in taking a few photographs for their upcoming website, there was no other answer from me but yes. It's both encouraging and exciting to be a part of something big. Gaining a sense of wanting others to succeed, and for them to do so by using and stretching their gifts and talents. They gave me an opportunity to use my art and skills, and I couldn't be more supportive of referring others to use theirs.
