Good morning, friends…

how are you?

I was doing really well - all things considered - but this past week has felt a lot harder…it’s just so damned hard to stay motivated and with any semblance of balanced living, right?! 😬 My girlfriend called me yesterday and opened with, ‘what’s shakin’?’ to which the only truthful reply was ‘my thighs.’ #funnynotfunny 😬 Ahhh, laughter is good medicine.

One of the things I’ve been doing - that has brought me calm & joy - has been sharing my gratitude on my instagram feed. The seemingly simple act of acknowledging gratitude is such a powerful tool…I’ve posted about teachers, small business, Spring, and even windows 😂…and, ya’ know, just thinking of it makes me smile! What are you grateful for? I’d love to hear from you in the comments or - even better - post to your social media and tag me - let’s fill each others’ feeds with GRATITUDE! I opened my gratitude series by saying that “love and gratitude are more contagious than COVID-19“ so let’s share, share, share! It’s free, it feels good, it does good, and we could all use some extra happy right now. 🙏🏼

In other news, I am currently offering a Mother’s Day Rain Check promo….a gift to honour the moms in our lives with legacy portraiture with an offset in investment. 💕 I have only ten $25 gift cards available that, when the studio reopens, can go toward a portrait session that will include 2 FREE 8x12 prints…a $500 value for only $300 (and only $275 with the ‘rain check’)!

This is THE ONE THING I wish I’d been able to gift my mom and so please know that your loved one will be pampered and cared for and empowered.

You can purchase at the link above or by etransferring the $25 to lori@lorimaloney.com to clinch one for the special mom in your life!

Stay safe, spend a little each day focussing on gratitude, and know that I CANNOT wait to reconnect in person!
