Showtime

Before me stood bravery I could not muster at her age, right place with my camera in hand; it took my breath away to imagine what she will be capable of when she is my age.

Intensity, drive, focus, an unwillingness to be ruled by fear and self imposed limitations.  I am not sure where she gets it from, but she has it, a burning desire to live life to the fullest. An indomitable spirit lives inside of a small frame, a fire that burns white hot, kind and fierce; I feel for her soulmate.

I am writing this morning to reflect on the importance of being present, showing up for the small things in life.  I was lucky enough to be able to get access backstage, to see my little one prepare to go on stage and perform.

If this story we are living is made up of small moments, I cherish every minute I get to spend with my girl.  There is something special about raising a daughter.  I thought I would get a sweet princess, I may have inspired something different, only time will tell.
