The most sacred thing is a child's innocence;
his trust the most inviolate.

I'm a hobbyist photographer, a school counselor, a health junkie, and a mom. But above all, I'm just a woman living my truth. My biggest happiness in life is to savour each moment while it happens. That's all. That's everything.

Our beautiful 8 foot tall sunflowers didn't fare so well.


I think the wind and rain had an effect on the little person of the house, because he became a whirlwind of activity, eventually gathering up toys and pillows and scattering them around his bedroom. Here is the aftermath of Hurricane Evan:




Two hurricanes in one day. No wonder I'm tired!

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before.
The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
