Welcome to the blog

The best part of having siblings is the behind the scenes love no one gets to see. Yes there are arguments, disagreements, and sometimes you go a few days without speaking. One of my favorite Benjamin Franklin quotes, “How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend […]

My nephews and niece know how to indulge me. Lights, camera, and action, so this quarterly award goes to my nephew and niece (“A” players).

Diets… and there goes a sigh. I never thought I would get myself into this predicament, but I like my old self. My face has gained some extra happy cheeks, so here I am at it for real this time. Saturday was officially suppose to be my cheat day, but I gave in. Who could […]

I confuse beer pong with ping pong. I am the girl in Zumba still trying to learn the steps because I forgot the cheer practice schedule. (Did I mention? I have no hand/eye coordination.) I believe my high kicks can reach the ceiling. I tell stories that require you to throw a man a fish […]

Yesterday, I began to question, “what is my purpose?” My daily task are mundane. I wake up, I work out, research how to be a better photographer, practice shooting, I come to the office, answer phones, go home, make dinner, clean my house, take Frank for a walk, watch an hour of television until someone […]

I look at life much like a CFO of a company would…charts, schedules, and financial statements. I’ve always wanted to be the dreamer and not the thinker of my life, but there I go pulling out the yellow office depot notepad calling for some serious business and thinking. If our heart does not push us […]

Perfectionism. My biggest problem. I am the person that goes to bed every night with an agenda for the next day, perhaps the whole month. Goals, ambitions, sticky notes, 2 notebooks, more notes on my iPhone, a desk calendar, my iPhone calendar, and more notes on pretty flowery paper. I wish I had less self […]

It’s almost unfathomable when someone you love is gone. From the day I met the Moreno family, they introduced me and welcomed me into their family with gracious love. At every event (birthdays, weddings, reunions) we laugh loudly, talk loudly, and enjoyed great Tejano music. Today, our prayers and love go out to the Moreno […]

This Christmas, we spent most of our evening into the early morning at the hospital at my mom’s bedside. I saw the value of my family, together huddled up around my mom comforting and loving her. That day was the fourth day in my life I saw her at her least best, hunched over into […]
