I Choose Life

I have not written about weight loss in a long time–probably because I have fallen off the bandwagon and there really isn’t loss going on.  I have skirted the severity of the issue and it is time that I address with brutal honesty the serious nature of the issues.  I am not dying…not any faster [...]

The Little Things

As time flies by too too quickly, I am trying to think about and appreciate the little things.  The amazing smile and giggle of my little girl who can now climb up the stairs.  They are growing up so fast.  Noah is constantly amazing me with his verbal skills–he is picking up about 5 new [...]

How Much Is Too Much

Thanks for all your kind words about my photog business.  It has been in the making for a long time and I am happy to finally have it be “official.”  I certainly won’t get rich-as my availability is quite limited–as I have two kids, go to school, serve on the board of a non-profit, am [...]

It Doesn’t Matter How You Got Lost…

White Privilege Oblivion–Part 1

This post will be long….Be forewarned.

We Now Return You To Your Regularly Scheduled Program Already In Progress

I have been in a bit of a funk lately. Post-Christmas let down.  I love Christmas and the excitement that builds up to it and then in one quick moment (kinda like the first time) it is over and you are left with only the memory.  My Christmas was awesome and I certainly wish it [...]
