I've been wondering lately if I'm the one in the family who needs to grow the most? Am I the one that is scared all the time and fearful of new things? Or is it more that after 53 years of life, I've been there - done that enough to know what I like or… Continue reading Looking at life through a new lens

Letting my quirk out one post at a time.
Slight pangs in empty nest goodbyes (for now)
While glancing out the window this morning, I felt the slight pang of heart-ache remaining. It's getting better though, each day hurts a bit less.

That's when you'll find me grabbing my running shoes and heading out into the foggy and dew-drenched morning. In the winter, I hit the treadmill and read a good book while I run. But spring,… Continue reading A peek at my place in the world

I don't know what it is about the month of May that gets me right in the heartstrings? I love spring, but I also have many mixed memories to contend with that are like ink etched in my brain, in photos on my phone or on an SD card in my camera, or in lease… Continue reading The empty nest mom behind the camera
