I am alive!

Hi everyone,

Sorry that I haven’t been on here in awhile.  I had a lot going on.  Divorce, surgery, moving to a new place, losing my house, finding out about yet another friend that is sick…it was a rough few months for me.

I am slowly starting to feel like myself again.  I admit that I am still a little sad and confused, and I am asking why would someone not think I was worth working hard for, I have closed that chapter of my life and moving forward.

I am fortunate to have so many friends and family that care about me.  It has helped me through this rough time, and I feel like I am a stronger and better person for getting through it.

On the bright side, a lot of exciting things have been going on.  One of my greyhounds won a big race.  Inazuma is a fast dog and very sweet.  Lots of personality.

The other great thing is that my clips4sale stores have been doing great along with my nicheclip.  A big thank you to all the fans that have supporting me on that.  I have also had a huge request for customs now and that really has been awesome.  Lots of repeat business.  This helps me tremendously.  It not only helps me, but it allows me to help others by being able to hire them.  The models I hire are my friends and people I have worked with, so it is always fun doing a production.

I also went out and bought a new high def hard drive camera.  I finally got with the times and mini divis are a thing of the past.  The quality is great and I found that I needed to get a new PC to go with it.  My camera couldn’t be detected on the macs…I have no idea why.  I ended up getting Sony Vegas Pro and it is awesome for editing on the PC. :)

Also, I have been traveling a ton.  http://www.tomiko1.com/calendar.htm

In case you are curious, you can look at my calendar.  I am hoping in 2011 that I won’t have to travel as much.  Although I love it, I admit that I have been burning the candle at both ends.

Anyway, it has been really crazy.

Today I am in Boston.  My last day. I worked with a lot of great people with wrestling sessions and even a punching session.  Also, I got to work with Captured Snapshots.  Great people and a great company.  Always a pleasure.

My adventure will continue on to Maine.  My friends are driving by to pick me up.  It will be a 5 hour drive from here, and then it is all about camping, nature, lobster by the fire, and plenty of picture taking.  I am looking forward to the relaxation and the great company.  They are dear friends of mine and great company.

I also hope to learn to use my new camera.  It is more sophisticated than my point and shoot (which I also brought just in case).  I hope I can get a great picture that I can blow up and frame.  That would be cool. :)

Anyway, probably won’t have signal and no internet, so no one will be able to reach me until the 12th.

This is going to be so good to get some rest.  I don’t think I ever felt as tired as I do now, and I am so looking forward to this.

Thanks for stopping by and for your support.  It means a lot to me and I really appreciate you being fans and friends.

Have a great weekend.

xoxo

Tomiko
