A Life to Live
Melody Hendrix

“Much of the stress that people feel doesn’t come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they’ve started.”
– David Allen

“The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.”
– William James

“Its not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it.”
– Hans Selye

“In times of great stress or adversity, it’s always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.”
– Lee Iacocca

“When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.”
– Winston Churchill

Take rest a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.”
– Ovid

Slow Down

It’s okay to slow down, even if there’s a lot you have to do. In fact, it’s essential to slow down, rest, recover, refill the well and regain your energy consistently as you work towards achieving goals. The down time of burnout can be far longer than those few moments, hours or days you take to do what you need to do to feel awesome.

Sacred Geometry

The chambered Nautilus Shell (this one cut in half) has an ancient science in its design called the Golden ratio or golden mean spiral. You see this in many gorgeous forms of art and nature. The eye is drawn to its mesmerizing lure. Geometry is sacred. It is sacred because God used beautiful mathematics in creating the world, our universe and everything in it.
Albert Einstein wrote “The more I study science, the more I believe in God”.

What a beautiful world we live in. We all have that in common. Natural beauty is everywhere, but sometimes we are not connected until we see a picture, taken just right, that makes it really come into focus and be admired. My passion is to make a connection between the lens and your soul. Photography is my passion.
My photography passion began when my Father handed me his old Ricohflex box camera when I was 12.  It was love at first sight. I still have it. My hand was never empty of a camera since.

I am a native Floridian. I am so lucky to call it home. I was born in Orlando BF (before Disney). My family moved to the Winter Park area when I was very young. Central Florida was so simple and quaint at that time. I wandered the streets barefoot with my friends, never worrying that something bad could ever happen. My Mom used to pick the sand-spurs out of my feet. I still go barefoot. It grounds me to earth and connects me to nature.
I have extensively explored Florida and its diverse beauty. So much to see and so little time. I would love for you to join me in my travels through the images I have taken. I wish you could hear the sounds, smell the fragrance and feel the breath of it. But for now we must be content with exploring with our eyes and only imagine the rest.
Now for Melody’s first post.
