Start Again!

I had to share part of my devotional today.  It’s a beautiful piece of encouragement from The Artist’s Way.  If you needed to hear this as much as I did, post a comment and let me know you are out there.  Whether your an orphan in Cambodia shooting from a Tuk-Tuk with a dream of [...]

He was sitting next to me.  The plane was headed to San Diego.  It was the middle of December, and I felt so exhausted I chose not to introduce myself—just close my eyes and rest.  And then the storm came.  It was the worst storm that month for San Diego.  The wind knocked our plane [...]

I was finishing up stuff for work a few days ago, so much was running through my mind.  We still needed to pack, tie up loose ends with bills for the next two months…I was also in the midst of conversation with Brian, as all this craziness swirled through my head.  We were sitting at [...]

It was Friday night, I was working on the SOAR! Announcement while Brian and the kids had gone out to grab something to eat.  We were close so many times, and then we were set back again and again.  But this time, it really was ready.  I was so excited, so thrilled, hated that the [...]

The final countdown of 2009 is here.  What an intense year it’s been–full of high-highs and low-lows.  And yet somehow, we have not only endured but found moments to celebrate, believe in the impossible, keep loving when we felt empty, and wake with a sense of hope for the new day.  The resilience of the [...]

Have the voices become [...]

The weekend was a mix of resting, laughing and crying. My business coach has warned me several times about the aftermath I feel when a workshop has ended. I can’t help it. I’m a super emotional being, and when Brian and I spend the weekend pouring all our emotion and energy into the lovely, amazing [...]

Brian and I are headed back home after shooting a beautiful wedding in Maui. It has been WONDERFUL to see all the votes and encouraging words pour in for the Vacation Photo Contest! I’m thinking we’re going to make our 750 vote goal at this rate! How exciting! One Random Voter (Maybe you! Have you [...]

I am so proud of myself! I had to share. This post wasn’t in this week’s plan, but I am on cloud 9!
