Blog Relaunch: Born Running

I was born a runner. Some days I run from people, pain, memories, and fears. Some days I run towards progress, goals, others, and Jesus. I'm seeing that there's nothing wrong with being a runner; I just have to monitor my direction. I'm an 110%, all in kind of gal with a drive for perfection and a hunger for raw authenticity wrapped up in beautiful messiness. This little space on the World Wide Web has been less than perfect and all kinds of beautiful messy. I started as a hobbyist photographer and today I find myself running on in life with a desire to go in a new direction with this little space on the web.

                Dear gals [soul sisters, cravers of beauty, and lovers of insanity]

                Welcome to Moriah Mari!! It is a place of inspiration, encouragement, and healing for gals who long to live life to the fullest. It's for those who sometimes put too much on their plate, get excited about new opportunities, and desire to make the most out of life. It's for those who've grown weary when they didn't want to, been broken when they least expected it, and lost what they didn't think they would.  It's a place of healing because we're living in a world with a heart breaking from an ache too great to carry.

                What will you see here on the blog? A lot of inspiration and hope. I'm praying that every post will bring rest to your soul, whether it's a tasty new recipe, creatively inspiring photo shoot, or words tumbling out of my heart and hoping to be heard with grace by yours. I'd love to see this as a place of connection. So, please reach out, leave comments, and send e-mails.

               I'm here to live a story of insane love. Come join me!

Two Offical Years of Blogging : The Stats

It's March 14th, the day when I first entered the world of bloggers.  It's been an official two years folks!

I'm surprised by all the changes that have happened.  How I re-branded and started my own business.   How me and the other girl are putting our heads together on a themed shoot, how I'm running this series where I've joined up with other photographers, and how someone asked me about doing a wedding (P.S. nothing official here folks but just being asked it pretty special:).

My favorite part of this whole journey is how I started out wanting to just grow to be a good photographer for my own sake and to bless others and how today I'm getting to do that.  I'm getting to take my good friend's engagement photos and shoot images for a local non-for-profit, I'm getting to do what I dreamed of! That's such a blessing!!

I thought it would be fun to celebrate by looking at some of the most visited around here.

My most visited post this month is - Featuring Sierra = 98 page views

Most visited in the history of forever is - Hello = 415 page views

The total page views are - 9,084

No, it's not Katelyn James traffic but it's mine.  It's the footprints of all the folks who've checked out this little corner of mine on the world wide web.  It's the marks of those who are my fans and the waves of sweet passerby's.  Thanks to all of you on this journey and here's to more years of blogging!
