The date on my last post was 2017 and to be perfectly honest I completely forgot that this blog was still active (I happened to notice the renewal receipt email among my hundreds of unread email). I thought that maybe it is about time to get back into it. If there’s still any followers left from the old days I’m sorry to tell you that I will no longer be focusing primarily on photography anymore. Not because I don’t like taking pictures anymore (because you will still see a lot of them) but because like so many I have grown and I have changed.

So much has changed since 2017.

I have experienced childbirth, and have been blessed with 2 beautiful daughters. I am their mother, their friend, and their teacher and while I will do my best to not be one of those moms who only talks about their kids, if you don’t like hearing about children then this blog may not be for you because I am sure that they will come up again.

That being said, the road has not been smooth sailing because while there are beginnings there are also ends. I have experienced loss of both a grandparent and a mother and have experienced the sorrow of losing a loved one. I have lived through a pandemic, have gone from working in the office to working from home. Have both gone back to school as well as start to homeschool.

The years have truly flown in a whirlwind of change. I have gained new friends, and have reconnected with old ones. I’ve gotten back to drawing and writing stories, have started painting, and have even learned to crochet.

So you see with so much change in the world and in life it only makes sense that it is time for this blog to also change as well. I can’t continue with the blog as I did back in 2017 because I am not the same person that I was back in 2017. My life has changed so much and the times back then are now memories that I look fondly back on.

So without further ado, I will be posting now during my little pieces of quiet moments. The moments where I have a minute to sit down and type. To share in thoughts and life and whatever else may come in between. I honestly don’t have high expectations for this blog because I am not a social influencer and am not striving to be. I can’t really say I have a set theme because it is pretty impossible for me to stick to one. I have so many interests and life gets so busy and hectic sometimes that it feels as if it is stuck on fast-forward. This blog, is instead, a way for me to take a step back from it all and take a moment to breath and if anyone reads this, I encourage you to also take a moment for yourself to just breath. Take a minute to quiet the noise.

There is strength to be found in the solitude of quiet moments.

I’m married. MARRIED!?

24 years I’ve waited to meet the man of my dreams. I didn’t realize he was next to me the entire time. But he did. For 3 years he waited for me to look at him (I mean really look at him, as a woman looks at a man). He waited, for 3 years. He talked to me, allowed me to open up to him, express my fears, my dreams, my desires, and he never said a word. I guess it was only natural of me to fall for him. To fall so deeply in love with him.
