1) Going to San Francisco alone with just my camera for the day was good for my SouL ! *wink*

2) Ice cold beer + pizza + interesting conversation = a good night ...always!

4) If you don't make time for things you want to do, you never will.

5) Sometimes trying to capture the moment on camera can actually steal the moment. *sigh*

6) Bat sized moths are no joke! *really*

7) Singing & dancing to 80's music around the house when alone, is a blast! Try it... *happy dance*

8) I feel like surrounding myself with all new houseplants...spring is in the air....*sigh*

9) Sometimes it is perfectly acceptable to rock the grocery store in your slippers that looks like slip on Uggs...who is to know? *smiles*

"Quotes..."

"One must always be careful of books,” said Tessa,

for words have the power to change us."

"Quotes..."

"Courage doesn't always roar.

Sometimes courage is the quiet voice

at the end of the day saying,

" I will try again tomorrow"....

"Quotes..."

‎"Nostalgia ~ it's delicate, but potent it's a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This isn't a spaceship, it's a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards, it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. Let's us travel the way a child travels ~ around & around and back home again, to a place where we know are loved."
