{Style findings}…Charlotte, NC photographer

I just felt like doing a random style post today.  I am NOT a stylist and far from a girl who can put outfits together like this style blogger, but I do love incorporating different colors together and am constantly inspired to have a different approach in how to coordinate color into my wardobe.  Anyways,...

{With thanks}…

It’s the way we still intently look into each other’s eyes saying nothing at all, but saying everything as he leaves for work or tucks me into bed.  It’s the way I still feel when he grabs my hand across the console, or how I steal glances of him as he drives down the road.  We...

{Reflections on Tradition and Cancer Awareness post}…

 I haven’t been able to write about my writing class for September yet.  I couldn’t go to it in July or August, so I was anxious to get back for this month.  Like many classes before, we listen to a poem and then have around 3-5 minutes to write our own take of the theme. ...

{A reminder}…Ambato, Ecuador

I feel compelled to write about another home visit while I was in Ecuador.  I feel myself getting too caught up in this world, the country of things and dreams, and wishing and wanting more than I need.  Someone made a comment today…the person was joking of course, but they referred to the neighborhood we lived in...

{Living by Faith…} Maria Victoria in Ecuador

The hill up to her cement home was strenuous, but didn’t seem to phase her, even when the shoes she wore were not wearable.  Maria Victoria is her name and she was one of the home visits.  We brought her family food.  She has 4 teenagers and one 8 or 9 year old boy.  She...
