    Looking Beyond the Lens

    Life… It’s Not Just About You

    In this life it is easy to become selfish. We do have to think about ourselves fairly often – what we will eat, what we will wear, where we will live, who will be our friends, what job/career we will have, what hobbies or interests we will pursue.

    Not the Best? Neither am I… but We Do Nonetheless

    When I turned 30 I took up running. Do not get me wrong, I am not a runner, I simply run. My mile times, compared to others, are really slow, and down right pathetic compared to the world’s elite. Yet, though I may be slow I still run. So when I decided to run a…
