While 2024 has been one of my most rewarding years of my life with the achievement of many of the long-term goals I set for myself over the past few months during the back half of the year has been what seems to be just one thing after another but all you can do is keep moving forward and things tend to work themselves out in the end. Just recently I was able to accomplish the completion of the first half of the certified photographers exam through the professional photographers of America Association and in February I will be taking The second part of the exam which is the technical portions of the test this is a test I have been trying to complete for about five years now so it feels good to be able to say I passed the first portion of the test I know I have a long way to go but My goal with sharing this story is if you have a goal stick with it and it will pay off no matter how long it takes. If there is one thing, I have learned over this year is Don't Burn the Day could not have been truer, Value yourself enough to step out on faith and curse you're good. yes, there will be times where you're unsure of the next move to make but just put one foot in front of the other because Every decision will make is another chance to learn good or bad you're always learning. As we make the turn into 2025 don't be afraid to bet on yourself and go after where you've always dreamed about achieving it will not always be easy but if it's worth it to you in the end it's worth it.

 I want to say thank you for trusting in Don't burn the day and looking forward to 2025 there will be more content headed to the website & YouTube channel.
