When
my kids were little, especially at their birthday parties,
I always hoped someone was getting pictures of the event
because I was busy with other details. This has been
true at school functions, family get-togethers, and parties
with friends. In the past 10-15 years, I have become
the picture taker at all of the gatherings I've attended.
At school functions, at parties, at weddings, at simple
lunches, I have always come with my camera. In freely
sharing my photos afterward, I have provided many parents
and grandparents an idea of what their child or grandchild
has been doing, I've provided friends and family with
memories of wonderful times shared together, and I've
managed to do it all without asking anyone for a penny.
In 2005, I formed my own company. Registered as Susan
B. Steen & Associates, I am doing business as Amazing Grace
Designs. My tagline: "Bringing joy to your
ordinary day" reflects my philosophy:
Activities as mundane or frustrating as using a computer
should be able to bring a smile to your face at some point.
Learning just a little about a computer and the basic
programs will open a new world of adventures for many
people. Nothing frustrates me more when I'm trying to
learn something than having the person helping me do it for
me and say, "Did you get that?" I want you to be able
to do what you want to be able to do. There is
tremendous gratification for all parties when the lightbulb
comes on!
Through
Amazing Grace Designs, I've not only been able to help
people learn how to help themselves with their computers,
I've designed and maintained web pages (companies and
personal), and taken pictures in corporate and personal
settings. "Jack of all trades, master of none" might
be appropriate, but I would prefer "Believer and Encourager
of all You Desire to Do." Whether you need someone to
believe in you, encourage you, or do for you (computer or
photography), I am so pleased to help you enjoy a part of
your life.
I've
sent
this to you for one of two reasons: 1. You are
someone who I believe might have need of my services.
2. You are a prayer warrior who I can count on to lift
my business and my desire to serve others up to the Lord.
I said earlier that I have done this all for years without
asking to be paid; however, as my oldest son has entered
college, and my youngest son is a high school senior, I have
been reminded of the need to have an income. Also,
I have been reminded by some of my dearest friends that I
have value, and my services have value.
My friends believe that you need my help. They believe
that God has gifted me in these areas. I think they
are right. When God gives you the tools to do
something that just makes your heart sing, there's a pretty
good chance that you are on the right path.
If
you
want to learn about the computer, I have great patience
(every age is a great age to learn). If you are
needing photos of yourself for a resume', I can help you get
that taken care of affordably. If you have children
and grandchildren home for a visit and wish someone would
just be there to catch those precious moments, I would enjoy
being a part of your visit and leaving you with many
memories in photographs. It's not really an expensive
thing to have someone do these things for you, Maybe
you'd like a little web site to promote your self...that is
an exciting and affordable endeavor--and you can put your
photos right there on your site!
The
possibilities are endless really. Call me or email me
if you'd like to talk about your needs, and I'm certain that
we can find a great solution.
Remember, there is joy in the most ordinary of days.
You just have to be willing to find it sometimes. I
hope that you'll allow me the privilege of helping you.
If
you would prefer not to be on my mailing list, there is a
place at the bottom of this email where you can
"unsubscribe," but I hope that you will stick around and see
what God is doing with this venture.
Living daily in the most amazing grace~
