My beautiful mess
With smart phones, compact cameras, and access to DSLRs – we are never without a way to snap a photo of whatever strikes our fancy. As a child who grew up sneaking her mother’s 110 camera to take photos of random things around the house, I can’t deny my love of all things photography. And […]

For months I’ve wanted to share this post. To share my story. But for several reasons, I couldn’t bring myself to. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to have my utmost vulnerable moments ripped open for the world to see and judge. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to expose my thoughts and feelings the […]

Have you ever wanted to say something, but kept it in because you just didn’t want to deal with someone’s reaction? Of course you have. I’m sure most of us wish we could be Sheldon Cooper for a day (or twenty) – me, if I were able to have one super power, the ability to […]

I’m not even going to try and sugarcoat this post. I am completely and utterly biased here because my favorite author writes suspense/thriller novels and I love her work too much to recommend anyone beyond here – yes, I love them that much. Sandra Brown was originally known for her romance novels dating back to […]

Now this is my jam. If ever you’re looking for me in a book store, this is where you’ll find me – lost among the rows and rows of non-fiction and biographies. *sigh* People fascinate me.

I’m aiming to make this year’s birthday a little different, in a huge way, and I’m reaching out to my friends and family to help me. Three years ago, partly do to with health issues, my bucket list began to grow, but more than that, I began to focus on experiencing the things I was […]
