For the past three days I've been talking. And talking. Non-stop. I could probably go on and on, but right now I'm at a loss for words because of the generous outpouring of support, encouragement, and grace…from you. Yes, Internet, I'm writing from my Seattle hotel room completely overwhelmed and, yes, exhausted, but it pales to the new friends I've made and the moments we created.

Teaching at creativeLIVE was an honor and I appreciate the ability to do what I love. Thanks for coming along for the ride and I look forward to dedicating a complete blog post soon to the editorial photo shoot, but for now here's a sneak peek.

Lastly, for those who reached out on Twitter and Facebook to send encouragement…thank you. There were moments when I begged the sweet Lord Almighty to have the ground open and swallow me whole, but when it didn't happen, your support carried me through.

I owe you one.
