Anna is truly skilled at what she does, and made me feel so at ease and comfortable during the shoot.

Let us Give Thanks and Be Glad

<div style="text-align: center;">God is good. I don't speak much on the blog about my faith because I don't want to seem like I am forcing my beliefs on anybody. I accept all different views, but lately my heart has been so full of gratitude towards the Lord and all the goodness that my life has been blessed with. With Thanksgiving on Monday, what better time than now to acknowledge a small sample of those joys? <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSw7oH5r8Atz_TyeLZmFiui40fZJeQ4I1E9AWS06EWSFTEODb0pQtziup_EuQRnFwjkoL4FnJvLLeoIMTiVRLACq_RwRzoA_ZEfCTEAwcK2OEED93UOgHSqP8jbeHIqEzEZcP-kp8g7so/s1600/give+thanks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSw7oH5r8Atz_TyeLZmFiui40fZJeQ4I1E9AWS06EWSFTEODb0pQtziup_EuQRnFwjkoL4FnJvLLeoIMTiVRLACq_RwRzoA_ZEfCTEAwcK2OEED93UOgHSqP8jbeHIqEzEZcP-kp8g7so/s640/give+thanks.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=472193082887944&set=a.282184038555517.64546.281238478650073&type=1&theater">Image via Stephanie Sterjovski</a> / <a href="http://stephster.bigcartel.com/product/give-thanks">Print via SS Print Shop</a></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> 1.

I am so blessed to have parents like you and two big brothers who always looked out for me. I love you.<br /><br />2. Secondly, I am thankful to have a roof over my head. That I moved to a new city and was able to find a job related to my field of study that allows me to pay for this roof over my head. That I can fill my space with things that make me smile - little luxuries I know not everyone has and that I do not take for granted.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMste6i9koKpABqO-WIEsBn62Hu_GZj2j9EU9dNrwY5a19wiXm5LhXAKdIxeZVqc2U-f9-S4wxiT7-mGFRWezZs-PUk0FC1mPxpmsV9VxZUSpHmVkEGlXG7YTJOtnWtScFs6GqHkuPNd4/s1600/my+place.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMste6i9koKpABqO-WIEsBn62Hu_GZj2j9EU9dNrwY5a19wiXm5LhXAKdIxeZVqc2U-f9-S4wxiT7-mGFRWezZs-PUk0FC1mPxpmsV9VxZUSpHmVkEGlXG7YTJOtnWtScFs6GqHkuPNd4/s640/my+place.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />3. I am thankful for the lessons that God has instilled in me that have led me to where I am today - to a place where I feel like I am a good woman following the path that was intended for me. Thank you God for teaching me kindness (even when faced with negativity), for teaching me to follow my heart (even when it hurts), for teaching me to work hard at my craft (even when I want to give up).<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8yDLvn-F0Eo5oPk5wnynbGM0_bayL6iXISzOCHHsrV7M90t2CxiZx5WEQ5sfjn5COkrx3cYfA2fq3hVEtejStddM-A1FfARQyfqeX6CkpempXY2g1K5HTRFRMm174ZUy_ZQ0ODo5vMGI/s1600/011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8yDLvn-F0Eo5oPk5wnynbGM0_bayL6iXISzOCHHsrV7M90t2CxiZx5WEQ5sfjn5COkrx3cYfA2fq3hVEtejStddM-A1FfARQyfqeX6CkpempXY2g1K5HTRFRMm174ZUy_ZQ0ODo5vMGI/s640/011.JPG" width="478" /></a></div><br />4.

Even though we don't see eachother as much now that I'm living in Toronto, I know that I can always count on you. Thank you to my new friends, who made moving to a new city less lonely and showed me I can make a life for myself here surrounded by people who I love. And thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to all of my blogging friends. Without this amazing community I would be lost.<br /><br />My heart could burst with all of the joy I feel for these incredible things - and there are so many more not listed here. <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH6m6nwIavcfZ7y-yBsURdxkB46PWz6K6GoxXoLYoy4tQcHzFL93lAFvicDsEl_UDa6QYec6rN2B1JpeQk8Uh7LQ608pnw3CATkclWTug5lJVKBngBCPbYCF5ij7a-JfMEFVYIw9WBPgI/s1600/god+is+good.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH6m6nwIavcfZ7y-yBsURdxkB46PWz6K6GoxXoLYoy4tQcHzFL93lAFvicDsEl_UDa6QYec6rN2B1JpeQk8Uh7LQ608pnw3CATkclWTug5lJVKBngBCPbYCF5ij7a-JfMEFVYIw9WBPgI/s640/god+is+good.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">via my personal bible Psalms 106:1</td></tr></tbody></table>What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?

Some Thank Yous

<div style="text-align: center;">Today is a day of gratefulness.<br />I've been blogging since December, have learned so much, and made so many friends.
