Grateful

Since returning from Camp Shutter Sisters nearly 3 weeks ago, I’ve been feeling very introspective.  It’s hard to put into words just what those four days did for me.  Yes, I love, live and breathe photography, but to be in the company of 70 other women that feel exactly the same way?  It’s pretty d

Trying to Find the Words.

I’ve been home from Camp Shutter Sisters for 5 days now and for 5 days I’ve been trying to come up with the words to try to describe to you what camp was about but I’m finding it quite difficult.  I can tell you that at times I felt intimidated and terrified that I was going [...]

The Gift of Music

My 14 yr. old son and I sometimes get along like oil and water.  We butt heads regularly.  Part of it is simply because he’s a teenager.  The other part, from what everyone who knows me quite well likes to tell me on a regular basis, is because we are just alike.  I guess that must [...]

What I Know to be True.

It’s been 3 months since I’ve blogged and I’ve missed my blog terribly.  Life will always get in the way when we don’t want it to, and that’s okay. Suicide is and has never been the answer.  Ever.

Anticipation

I absolutely love spring.  After the long days of winter, I anxiously await its arrival like a child waits for Christmas morning.  I know it’s close when I hear the symphony of birds outside my window in the morning or see the first buds of a new flower.  Not only am I anticipating the return [...]
