Who Are You? Guest Post by Jennifer Pastiloff

here’s a couple of my fave mantras:

use good judgement, not judgmentalism.
if it flows, it goes.
slow down, you’ll get there faster.

Jennifer, you impress the heck out of me with your openness & authenticity.

i read this post earlier this afternoon & started to write a comment to answer your question. I started waxing poetic about being a photographer, maybe a little bit of a writer, then i wrote the words “dragon slayer” and realized i’m not really feeling all that much like a dragon slayer right now.

then i realized that for years i’ve been calling myself, “just a dude who tries to pay attention,” and i stopped writing. wow. no i’m not~! i’m a bit more than that~! then i had to take a bit of time to consider who i am before answering.

so i’m sharpening my pen (the pen is mightier than the sword) & i’m paying attention. i’m awake. the dragon’s awake. i’ll not go back down into the abyss just to avoid fire breathing reptiles or any other sort of monsters. i know i’ll need some help though. like i’ve been getting here & there on these blogs from you, your sister Rachel and your friends.

so okay … i’ll get back to you later on this one (after i’ve slain at least one dragon).
