Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

I passed by the table at WPPI. There were so many photographers gathered around, asking questions, taking brochures. I picked up a couple of information cards and read to myself as I walked on to the next class. I thought to myself, "This is something I will definitely do." And then I heard Sandy Puc speak. She described the first time she was called to the hospital for a session with a family. My attempt to not cry all of my makeup away was hopeless.
And I knew this was something I had to do.


Today I received an email from Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.
It started with "Congratulations!" (those are always good) I felt my heart skip when I read those words.
Charity is one of the main reasons I began this journey. I'm looking forward to starting other projects as well. I have witnessed some truly painful and heartbreaking situations throughout my years as a nurse, too many to count. I feel so privileged to have another way to give back to a family during such unspeakable grief. This will be a great fit for me.

It is also good to check those goals off your list. Passport, check. Charity, check. And I am moving forward.
