But I had one semester of chemistry and I realized I hate this,there’s nothing about this that I like.” 6:06 “Sitting in a specific graphic design class, that was a complete ‘aha’ moment in my life. Iknew I was in the right place.” 10:42 “I feel that it’s always been a continual learning process. I don’t remember ever sitting inmy office or at my desk and saying ‘this is the voice I’m going to use.’” 11:51 “I made a decision at some point in time that I didn’t want to throw anyone under the busin telling my personal story. As I tell the stories, I tell them from the lens of ‘What did I learn?’” 16:36 “I’ve always looked at scrapbooking, probably from within the first year of starting to doit, that it was something for me, that it wasn’t for my kids. This is your story, you can’t tell yourkids story; you can tell their story from your perspective…” 17:44 “What I really, really love are everyday kinds of stories.” 22:04 “I love the New Year, I like turning the page, I like a fresh start, that is part of mypersonality…” 23:59 “So many times people do set an intention for the beginning of the year, and then theyforget about it. But by having a monthly check in you are keeping yourself on track.” 26:07 “There is one piece of me that trusts my internal compass…I am someone who is morelikely to take action than to not take action.

Saying yes to something and saying no to something…” 34:42 “I’m definitely constantly taking the temperature, how is this going, how is our communitydoing, how can we help them…” 39:05 “We’re totally down with the slower pace, not having as many kid activities…” Ali Edwards's passion resides in that very special place where the stories and images of life intersect.
