So, I was influenced by my dear friend, Lorie, to start a blog. I've blogged in the past, but only to talk about what I've done that day or vent about random things. I even had a blog with Lorie & Bev during last year's Biggest Loser contest to keep track of what I ate, etc. So, I wondered, what is this blog going to be about?

Well, a couple of years ago, there was a turning point in my life where I realized that I needed to change in order to better the lives of my family. I'm glad to say that I've grown up these past few years, and so much has changed, for the better. I have to admit - if it weren't for Chris, I probably wouldn't have accomplished a lot of the things that I'm going to blog about. He definitely opened my eyes to new things, and still does. He even helped me with my title of this blog (thanks boo!). Of course, the title relates to my love for photography. :)

Definition of panoramic view: a situation or topic as if viewed from an altitude or distance.

But to me, this blog will give me the opportunity to look back and remember the accomplishments I've made in life and to see things from a different perspective. Chris & I discussed this turning point in my life and knew it had a lot to do with "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "The Secret" - both having the concept of different attitudes towards money, work, and LIFE, in general. I can definitely say that I'm living "the secret." Having positive attitudes and believing that great things will happen! So, on that note, this blog will be all about the great things that have happened in my life, and it will also help me focus on what's to come...
