Felici Lives Here

No, Free to Succeed is not a new band, nor does it have anything to do with Rafael Nadal.  But if it was I think it would sound like a combination of Green Day (“Time of Your Life”), The Postal Service (“Such Great Heights”), The Sundays (“Summertime”), and The Kooks (“Bus Song”).  Don’t ask me why I picked those bands or those songs, that’s just what I think of when I think of the people I met today at the Free to Succeed Tour.

David Jay and Jasmine Star, two awesome wedding photographers and all around super cool people, are touring the country to share their knowledge and experience with other wedding photographers.  Along with sharing so many good workflow tips and marketing strategies, they really hit home with me on two notes.  Creating freedom in our lives is huge and creating time for ourselves and for the things most important to us in life – this is a goal for me and I feel very inspired after hearing DJ talk about this.  Secondly, Jasmine’s adamant demand to Keep It Real!  It’s really important to Jojo and I that our business always reflects exactly who we are.  So if I dress up next year at Comic-Con, you better believe I’m posting pictures of myself in costume!

On a completely unrelated note, I feel it necessary to congratulate Rafael Nadal and his rippling biceps on finally becoming the number one tennis player in the world!!! Yihoo!  Federer’s reign is over, Rafa is taking his place as number one at the strapping young age of 22.  VAMOS RAFA!!!  I want so badly to buy a ticket to Flushing Meadows, New York so I can see Rafa play his first Grand Slam as #1 in the world!
