Today, I celebrate me. I celebrate who I was, who I am, and who I will become. I celebrate my thoughts, decisions and accomplishments. My wants, my needs, my goals. I celebrate how far I have come and my will and motivation to keep going. I celebrate my wisdom, perspective and contributions. My intentions and my efforts. I celebrate my peacekeeping tendencies and my yearning to tell it like it is...
Gathered Pieces
Memories. Boxes of memories. Gathered items collected over the span of her life. Pieces of her life carefully placed in boxes and moved from house to house, as she moved from town to town. Pieces believed to symbolize moments of her life. Pieces believed to be made up of pieces of her. Pieces believed to define her, as she is today. Irreplaceable pieces.

Phases of being...

We recently snatched up a bargain at Sam’s Club for a Nikon D5600 24MP CMOS DSLR with 18-55mm VR Lens and 70-300mm Lens (for those who know what any of that means). It’s not the best camera out there, but it definitely gives me something to play with creatively and allows me to capture...
Look Within
After writing my last post and feeling the healing effects of writing it, I decided I’d share this blog with a few select people who I care about (other than my husband) and even shared it in a like-minded group I’m in on Facebook. Big mistake. It just set me up for disappointment again. No one actually cares… let me rephrase that. It’s not important enough for people to...
