LaCresha's Lens Focuses On...page 18...Lift Up Don't Tear Down

Today I am in a funk.  I should be thrilled!  I have three photo shoots in one day.  Granted only one is a paid shoot, but the other two are with the Music City Youth Orchestra which is a fabulous organization which I love to volunteer.
But, after last nights episode of my boss going off on me (I still have a day job working in a doctors office) I can't even think.  She really effected my pyschie and I am off my game.  Today is not the day I need to be off.  This client is going to need a lot of coaching with the posing and infused with confidence.  I'm not there and I am frustrated.

What right does a person have to treat another person so poorly that they make them feel less of themselves?  I have had people in my life who have pulled this shit and felt that it was acceptable!
NO!  A roommate in college felt better about herself when she was putting down others.  I got to be on the chopping block of her behavior.
My ex was a verbally and physically abusive person and I put up with his crap for way too long.
Now I have a boss who is really a horrible, wicked bitch, but unfortunately, has the medical knowledge to somehow help people.  I have been told by my co-worker that this woman treats me worse than she ever treated my co-worker.  How is this ok?

I did what I could to focus, but I did not do well in my shoot.  Thankfully the fabulous Miss E was there to save me from myself and the shoot went very well.
The rehearsal of MCYO allowed me to start to re-focus.  By the time the performance came around I was almost myself.

This is why with my photography, I try to empower others.  We are in this together, we should lift each other up, not tear one another down.  Life is difficult enough.
Give thanks.  Be appreciative.  Bless those around you and praise God.
That is how I believe we should walk down the path of our lives.  With grace, consideration, kindness and love towards others. That does not mean we lie down and be a doormat, but we should be kind before being cruel.
