Just Me

thank you, 2011

I’d like to say Thank You to 2011.  Thank you for all the lessons I’ve learned, the new experiences I’ve gained, the friendships I’ve developed, and for the wealth of love that I have been able to give to and receive from my family.  It has been a special year for me.  I made a [...]

On Trust. And Being Honest with Myself in this World.

I love blogging.  Seriously.  I love that so many wonderful women (and men) can put their voices out there and speak from their hearts.  Truth, honesty, real, raw emotions.  I love that I can follow like minded souls, and learn and grow from their experiences.  It’s just one of the many reasons why I do [...]

Ramblings… On Food and Attachments

I was going to blog more this year. I really was. But something happened between homeschooling, parenthood, housework, and cooking. And I found I had just about negative five hours available every day for blogging. Unless I gave up sleep, then maybe negative two.  Where on earth am I going with this, you ask?  Well… [...]

Exposed.

I am probably going to regret this post the second I hit publish. In fact, I don’t even know if I will hit publish.  Will.  Be.. Brave…  Here goes! As mothers, we tend to focus solely on our husbands and children, and as photographers, we are ALWAYS behind the camera. Needless to say, there are [...]

Falling In Love…. with the changing season

I have a touch of the Winter Blues.  And it’s not even Winter yet.  And I live in Southern California.  I must be a wimp, because I’m not battling hail storms, shoveling snow, or dressing in more than two layers at a time.  In fact, I’m in a tank top at 9pm and have the [...]

I did it! And I love it!

This blog move has been a long time in the making. Over three years of blogging, many abandoned ideas, lots of struggling and digging to find my voice and to discover who I am.  I’ve always been the type of person who changes herself to fit in with friends or groups of people.   At school, [...]

A little Music, Some Heavy Metal, and a lot of Growth

A couple nights ago I was watching Glee with my husband.  It is one of my (our) favorite shows to watch together.  The music is so engaging, and the plot is addicting.  We just can’t get enough of it.  For me, it is about the music – seeing and feeling the emotional connection the characters [...]

Time Out: Back in the mood for words…

I’ve been in photography mode since Sunday and have barely written more than a few words this week. But, I am inspired again! Can you tell?!  I made myself a pretty new blog header to go with my pretty green stripes, and I’m enjoying my pretty new layout.  I love it! And that familiar feeling [...]

Ivory – Day One of Boot Camp

Today’s boot camp theme was “Ivory”. The first thing that came to my mind was Ivory Soap, and I envisioned a messy adventure in the back yard with Lucas. But, it turns out no one sells Ivory Snow around here. So, plan B. Looked around the house, couldn’t find anything other than the flowers in [...]

Reinventing Suzanne

Who are you?  Who are you right now?  Who do you want to be right now?  Who do you want to be someday?  Do you even know?  Or is it always changing?  Is that you that you struggle to be really who you want to be?  Or is it who you think you should be?  [...]
