Daily I ask myself what part of me do I choose to follow, my heart or my mind. I fight everyday with both. My heart wants to go on field trips to a matinee, laugh audibly in a quarter full theater at the most inappropriate silent moments, and stuff myself with cupcakes and ice cream. […]

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 took Frankie on a walk today. On our walk, I had time to reflect upon my life. About a week ago, I thought, I am going in so many directions; I have to choose one. At first, I thought I had to go on a mission trip, help people, and explore the world with […]

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.

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 […]

One day you know what you are imagining is possible, and then you start having mixed feelings and need a box of Kleenex.  If you imagine it, it will become true. I watched my best friend go through flash cards and […]

Vehicles were parked bumper to bumper for our fallen soldiers. There were volunteers in each section serving water, handing out flags, and more volunteers making sure every veteran was honored with a flag. It was beautiful to see and experience how collectively our community came to honor the men and women who served for our […]

Big ugly red coat in the middle of May, filing cabinet inside your backpack, and pancakes at 6 am makes it kind of hard to only be your sister. I potty trained you one summer and it only took a few weeks for you to learn, and I have to say I was proud of […]

Surround yourself with great people who want to be successfull, and they too will take you along for the ride. My eight grade friend, Cassie, takes her vacations in Haiti, but has not seen the beach. She does amazing work helping the people in Haiti. Yvonne has found something she loves- teaching. I’m glad to […]
