ambition

Between fire calls, Blaze thrives on training.
She was excited to join a neighboring Company for 
some special training they hosted last Saturday.
Especially since their Chief is a woman.
"Don't let those boys push you around," she tells Blaze.
I love that woman!
She's also the only person who turns the camera on my daughter.
That girl of ours is on the backside of hundreds--hundreds--of fire company photos. She's going to be a legacy of documentation.
She already is.

That black bag hanging on her neck? Only an extension of her arm:
her beloved camera.

This week, Blaze is a basketball huddle coach for Mega Sports Day Camp, hosted by our church. She had been shooting hoops at home-- ya'know to freshen up her skills-- maybe catch the kids attention with a sweet swish...
She was assigned six rowdy boys--the 8-10 year olds--
the moment they huddled, one kid exclaimed, 

"Hey! I know you! You are a firefighter."


Forget the basketball, girlie, the
impression has been made!
