Awakening Moments

Hey everyone.

As I head home work and after taking care of a few personal things, I’m throwing gratitude out into the universe because what an experience these last few days have been.
On Friday, I had the chance to be in nature, grounding myself both mentally and physically. I was taken to a place in the desert where I could truly connect with my feminine energy and reflect on who I am within the greater scheme of life. I’m not saying I know exactly who I am, but I do know who I want to be and that realization stirred a deeper desire for growth.
To top it off, I got to spend time with amazing friends and people I love, surrounded by good music the perfect bonus to this journey, but it didn’t stop there; it’s been a continual unfolding of learning and awakening.
I’ve never been formally educated in the traditional sense, I’m more of a student of life. My knowledge has come through experiences, moments lived and felt. I did attend trade school and took college classes, but what I’ve always wanted most was truth. And what is truth, really? For me, it’s coming closer to understanding who I am, learning to think both logically and finding balance and hopefully creating positive ripples in life.
Yesterday, I learned more about history than I ever did in school, and it was a true “wow” moment. As I sat there listening, watching, and feeling, I realized that my mind is opening, that I’m beginning to see the world with a new kind of clarity.
What was I seeing? It depends on how you see life yourself But for me, it means no longer reading posts or watching the news without questioning, researching, and seeking truth on my own. I can’t stress enough how important it is to think for yourself and not just accept everything you see on media outlets, especially on social media.
Most of us simply want peace, kindness, and a life that feels genuine. Yet many are starting to see that we don’t always want to live the version of life being presented to us. So, what can we do? That’s the question I’ve been asking myself.
For now, as I head to work, I’ll give my all as I always do and tonight, I’ll reflect, watch, and feel.
I hope everyone had a beautiful day.

A Kiss

It’s just a kiss
Something so simple
Yet so powerful
It can make you weak 
It can make you breathless 
It’s just a kiss
It can shake your universe
It’s just a kiss
Hopefully someday
The Earth will shake around me

Well, Helllloooo!


 Turned a corner on my mountain hike last week and this beauty popped out of the bush.  Darn near fell as it scared the heck out of me.  Yet, I love that this one was way up on the trail from where I had gone.

Grandfather's Love

Being a grandma I understand how much love you feel for your grandchildren.  They are a blessed joy from a child you created and loved.  It is an extension of that love, it is such a surreal feeling the amount of love that flows through you when gazing upon your grandchildren.  

This beautiful bride lost her beautiful grandmother and we know she was there in spirit, it flowed through her grandfather and all the family in attendance. This was such a beautiful moment for me. It made me realize how short life is and how you have to grab love when it is handed to you, do not hesitate.

Riddle Me This

 

What a story this old car must have.  Who were the occupants?  Were they taken out by law enforcement or the mafia types?  I don't know but looking at it spurred these questions and boy would I love to know the story.

Just Right

All American boy
with big blue eyes
heart of gold
hidden from sight
Strong silent strength
and a soul that burns
with an ache from the past
and lessons he's learned.
Not typically what I would see
in my current every day life
but sometimes what you don't see
is exactly just right.

Warm Winter Afternoon Senior Shoots

Things are a little bit slow for me, quite a difference from last year's shoots but I am so blessed and grateful to the seniors that have booked with me.  Such a great experience.  Here are two from this afternoon's shoots, both seniors are beautiful inside and out and so very kind.
