Hello out there.

A big thanks to all of you who came down to FELIZ this past weekend. It was great seeing you and we appreciated the support! 

Well, after seven and a half years of sometimes daily blogging and sometimes no posts for weeks, I'm letting go of Abby Try Again.

Thanks so much for all of the support here on the blog, over at etsy, at my bigcartel shop and flickr. I'm going to take some time off and focus on Asa and my own work. You can still find me over on instagram, flickr and pinterest. I'm sure sooner or later I'll be back to blogging but it's time to say goodbye to this space.

I'd like to give you readers a little gift, if you'd like. I'd love to make about a dozen or so of my images available to you to download and print for free. If you want to take a look at my flickr (火箭加速器安装) and comment or email what your favorites are then I will post them next week or so. 

Thanks again for all of the support over the years!

One year come and gone.

I had great intentions of writing some grand post about this but all I can muster up is this: a link to a wiki article about birthday cake. Interesting, no? 

Perhaps someday I will gather up the courage to write about the first year. 

Happy Sunday to all.

I learned about friendship and fear, about my shortcomings and strengths, about expectation and the power of thought. I learned that I know very, very little in general.

I learned that some times it's better just to let go of relationships rather than feeling the need to work at them. I learned about meeting people where they are at. I learned about asking for help.

I learned that there's a lot I need to work on and that is ok.

Most importantly, I learned that comparing yourself to others will never end well. Maybe I am still working on learning this lesson.

Oh yeah, I also learned that I don't give a rat's arse about the latest shopping trends-not even close.

If you follow my instagram, you may notice I stole these images from there. I hope to be back to sharing real photos soon, but these shall suffice. 

Life lately is full of projects.

Our CSA box comes stuffed full each week and I do my best to try and get all that I can out of it. Tomatoes become salsa, the peppers are pickled, roasted and dried, eggplant gets swallowed down and the basil is a never ending pesto supply. It's been a great way to experiment, to step out of my comfort zone and learn to make do.

With Asa things are a constant flow of change and developments. The boy is one of the most independant souls I know. I found myself at my witt's end constantly trying to control him. I realized that wasn't going to work for either of us. After a lot of reading I've found that Montessori principles are working well with him. I'm absolutely enamored with this blog and all of the information and inspiration it provides. This blog is great, too-especially this post.

It's amazing the things babies can do when we let them.

Thank you for the kind comments yesterday. It felt very good to read them. 

What is inspiring you these days? I would love to know!

Also, been working my little heart away over here if you are interested.

This May marked my seventh "blogging anniversary". It came and went, no fanfare, no celebration. Does it matter? Should it matter? And once again the question, why am I blogging?

Over the past seven years we built a new home and communitiy in Portland. I worked a few jobs, a couple of terrible ones and one fantastic one with a staff and boss that changed my life. I discovered my love of photography and my love of telling stories with images. I made amazing friends and planned some very fun events. We moved to Texas, added another to the family and slowed down. 

It's a true statement: my blog changed my life. I would not have had so many of the opportunities without it (selling my photography to hundreds around the world, seeing my photos on the big screen, planning dream events). I am very lucky.

I want to thank you for following and supporting that journey.

But where to go from here?

Shooting film photos is not sustainable for me. Quite frankly, I can no longer handle the cost, the clutter, the stick to it-iveness it requires and my beloved yashica is broken anyway. I cannot blog daily. I don't visit flower fields and pretty shops and create beautiful table tops.

So... from here on out, I will stop trying to make this place what it once was and I will stop apologizing for it.

I invite you to join me for what I am now, who we are now. This will include babies, digital photography and real life scenarios. No more Baby T blog, it will all be here.

Ultimately, the answer to the question why do I blog is to be a better me. To share, to connect and discover. This is my goal for this space for now.

So, here it is. Me trying again.

Having a child made me realize that I need to start recognizing progress in a different way.

Little victories become large ones, daily tasks are celebrated. Finishing chores is the sign of a good day, indeed.

Hopes of resurrecting this space as a daily photo blog are dashed, but Instagram becomes a good enough substitute.

Baby steps, Abby. Slowly, surely...progress comes.
