Today, friends and colleagues talked about risk.  What is the biggest risk you took?  What was it?  Why did you take it?

Risk involves the unknown, uncertainty, with a hint of excitement.  Sometimes, we take many risks at the same time, which sometimes leads to great outcomes.  Consensus of the group says, the bigger the risk, the greater the success and the greater the challenge.  Risk can be scary, but without it, where would we be.  A lot of great conversation, reflection, and potential risk lies ahead for many. 

The photo below has been to date, the most challenging and came with great risk.  I was petrified taking this photo, given the location, the uncertainty, and the overall heightened excitement.  To date, this photo has been my most successful photo to date, as I categorize success, which lead to many great opportunities.  The delicateness of the paint peeling appearing like butterflies or small cocoons waiting to hatch in this small corner-was momentous for me.  This place is very special to me, and glad I took the risk in capturing this photograph.
