INSPIRED BY ZECH, LLC

...is inspired by Zech and his love of life. 

On May 17, 1991 and June 24, 2007 my life changed dramatically.  My son, Zechariah Michael Kruse was born early Thursday morning on the 17^th of May.  After a smooth pregnancy and an easy delivery (as far as deliveries go) I was blessed with a beautiful baby boy.  It was the best day of my life—and remains so even to this day.  On June 24, 2007 my life again changed dramatically.  Only this time it was not a blessing but a parent’s worst nightmare.  Zech, having turned 16 just five weeks before unexpectedly went to be with the Lord.  That Sunday morning was the worst day of my life—and will be until the day I am no longer on this Earth.

Those 16 short years where filled with happiness and tears, joys and frustrations and everything in between.  Zech lived each day as if there was no tomorrow.  He was not afraid to ‘step outside the box’ and take a chance.  Tomorrow is never promised to us and we need to live each day to its fullest.  It is because of Zech and his love of life that I decided to ‘step outside my box’ and pursue my passion of photography. 

I want Zech's legacy to be how he made a difference in this crazy, mixed up world and how he had a positive influence on some ones life; and that is how ‘Inspired By Zech, LLC’ became about. 

Live today as if it’s your last day.  Tell that special someone that you love them or that you’re sorry, make that phone call you’ve been putting off, start or finish that project—tomorrow may be too late.  ‘Step outside your box’ and pursue a dream or passion you have put off for whatever reason.  Go back to school, learn a new skill or hobby, make new friends, do whatever, but ‘get out of that box’ and do SOMETHING.  Live today like its your last—and in doing so, Zech’s life and death will not have been in vain.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope that you enjoy your stay however long or short it may be.
