I read a quote yesterday that I must share. It spoke to me on several levels, and I’d love to hear what it says to you.
I always knew that one day
I would take this road but
Yesterday
I did not know today
Would be the day.
-Nacarjuna

Wow great quote! For me, I don’t feel like I’ve had my today yet. But I sense that it is coming close, that its just over the horizon.
I don’t even know what my today would look like. I have so much I am working on/working towards right now. Maybe it will just be a accomplishing something I worked so hard for. Or maybe it will be like starting a new chapter in “my book”. Just starting fresh, having a new outlook.
I’m very hopeful though!
for me…this quote takes more of a somber tone. i never thought that our biz (my day job biz) would be impacted enough by a bad economy to let one of our key people go…i never thought that day would come…but today is our office managers last day. my day job is a really small business, and because of that we are all very involved in each others lives. she has been here for 17 years. long before i arrived. but monday she won’t be here. it’s shocking. unexpected. depressing. the good part is that all of us have a faith that reminds us that god is in control. and that he has our best interests at heart. but today is hard. it’s going to be the longest day. but, i know that there’s nothing about hope that is false. we’re hanging on.
I feel like I am on the verge of my today, but feeling stuck as to how to get there. I know that God’s timing is not my timing but the anticipation is very much like waiting to give birth.
And while I am excited to see what it looks like, those things we talked about in a previous post – doubt, fear, the past, are hanging around trying to convince that it will never come, that I don’t deserve for it to come, and that I am not good enough to do this photography thing anyways so why even wait to see what happens.
Thanks for all the inspiration you provide. I hope one day to get to talk to you in person.
I love this!
YES! I feel like I JUST found my “today”.
My whole life my parents taught me that God had given me a special, wonderful, beautiful talent that I would one day find and I would be able to use that talent for His glory.
I always believed that I would find it someday, but didn’t know what or when it would be.
I found photography.
I now truly believe that I have found what my parents helped me to believe from a very young age. I feel SO blessed to have found it!
I know there is a hard journey before me, but one that I can’t imagine not going after!
Thank you SO much for sharing this quote! Beautiful!
this quote really speaks to me.
and so does reading the others’ comments (so sorry Jeramy).
i have had a feeling, that this is going to be my year. that i am stuck in limbo right now, in a quiet cell. almost a prisoner of things out of my control and that once those things are lifted, i will break free.
i feel it coming. i feel it near. and i am trying to listen during this period, listen for what i am to learn about myself that will help me once i get out. I have faith that God holds my key…and i am just trying to keep my impatience, worry, and insecurities from getting in the way.
thanks for sharing this, i’d love to hear what it means to you 🙂
Thank you for sharing. I wrote this quote down!
I hope to do my best to live my “today” every single day. I am not always successful, but am hopeful! 🙂
I think that you and Brian help so many women “take that road” and “have their today”… I know that sounds cheesy… but I do think you guys & the women you bring together help more than you guys probably know!!
How appropriate… TODAY, my Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L came to my door. And NOW I must attempt to try it out without getting drool all over it. 🙂
Today is the day!
This is exactly how I’ve been feeling since the Atlanta workshop. I’m taking the leap even though my more savvy friends are all telling me to develop my plan, strategy, etc…I’ve been wanting to do this for longer than I realized and I’m just jumping in with two feet. Just got contacted about another opportuntity today!
This quote resonates with me, too. I feel like Carrie does, that 2009 is going to be my year. And while my today may not be here YET, it will come.
And Abbey, I completely agree with you. Me Ra and Brian give something that no other people do – the permission and the gentle nudge to go with in yourself and think about your today, and to know it will be here one day.
that totally speaks to me on sooooo many different levels, absolutely! With being a mom for sure – Sometimes it hits me all over again: I’m somebody’s MOTHER! And a wave of realization on how much responsibility I have rushes over me.
With my photography, my today is still tomorrow – I don’t know when, but someday I hope to be among the well known – be able to give advice – be someone who people draw inspiration from. I can even look at my photos from a few months ago and compare them do what I’ve done recently – and the difference is so much that I know I’m still learning –
yes, this quote speaks to me, absolutely.
This quote is amazing. I had that day when i started the business and went and get my tax number and realized all sudden i was in business. I knew i wanted it but i never realized that it would go so fast. Thanks for sharing!
I love this quote. I felt that my weekend in Atlanta was what helped me down the road to reconnecting with myself and my passion. Thank you Me Ra and Brian for a wonderful experience.
I’ve been thinking about this quote a lot…
I have mixed emotions while reading it.
I can read it as Jeramy and hear the quote in a negitive tone and it’s sad.
The I can read it in a different way and I feel excited, yet still a bit sad…
I didn’t always know I was going to have a day…
I see the road before me and I’m shocked that I’m standing here about to go down it. I was never told I could be here…
I was never told I was going to have a day.
You never stop amazing me with how real, honest, and full of spirit you and your family are. I love that, and it inspires me. Thank you again for this….
I believe we all have more then one today. And like Jeramy maybe some of them are not as positive as one would hope. But none the less I believe we take something with us from each one and become better…stronger.
The one today that speaks to me the most in this is after I gave birth to my sweet girls. They mean the world to me, and words can not describe how amazing becoming a mom was, and is. All the pieces of the puzzle of my life seemed to fall into place right before my eyes…my today.
I feel a new one on the verge of happening….it is hard to explaine…but i know its out there waiting…and as hard as it is sometimes to wait…i too am trying to be paitent for it.
I think I am one foot into my “today” and one foot stuck in yesterday. I KNOW God has a great plan for my life. I can see it but I can’t touch it, not yet. I’m trying to be patient, follow His leading, and not make attempts to leap in front of Him. God is so good.
Happy Birthday MeRa!
Happy Birthday, darling!
Happy Birthday Mera…. Hope you are having an awesome day with your honey and your family…:)
This quote for me creates a picture of standing at a crossroads.
One feels God’s leading but clings to one’s fears. Each day comes and goes without that step being taken. One wonders if this will be the day, then wonders the next and then the next. Why has this desire been put in the heart of one too scared to try? Why the encouragement and urging of others if no clear path can be seen?
Possibly that yesterday will not be realized until there is a today when, with shaking and trembling, that step of faith is taken.
Thanks for putting into words they way I have been feeling!
I totally had my today. It was about two years ago and I was working a 9-5 job that I absolutely detested when I stumbled upon Photoshop while trying to find a program to make a brochure. Changed my life. I started by getting certified in PS CS2 and then bought myself a digi SLR and have never looked back. Every day is an uphill climb, but at least now I climb with a big smile on my face and heart that’s full of contentment and wonder at the world through a lens!
