Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.   ~ Don Miguel Ruiz

You’ve come a LONG way…

Fox_CoverSpecial place in my heart when it comes to this young man and I’m pretty sure I share this sentiment with all of his teachers throughout the years. Seems like just yesterday he was in kindergarten and now he’s ready to take on the world!!

Life: It’s all about balance.

A cold wind blows throughout the night, while snow fills the winter air. It’s warm inside my cozy home and I find myself drawn to images of dandelions basking in the warmth of the early summer sun.

Blend of three images:  Grove of trees near my house, dandelions from my lawn last summer and maternity image captured in the studio with strong backlight.  Watercolor filter, lens flare and lighting effects added with Photoshop CC.
