As many of you know my Dad has been very sick over the last 5 years. He has been on dialysis and it has literally been keeping him alive and killing him at the same time:( He has been dealing with excruciating pain for the 5 years. Not to mention it was told to him...

Bloom
I don’t know that another quote has hit me with such an impact as this one…
“And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was greater than the risk it took to bloom.”
I was coasting.
Life was living me.
I didn’t feel like I had much control.
I was fearful most of my...
Souls are on fire today!
“Love really is the answer. We’re here only to teach love. When we’re doing that, our souls are singing and dancing.” Gerald Jampolsky, M.D. These 3 have been the shining example for me to follow when it comes to souls singing and dancing. They have so much love pouring out of them, it’s...
Phoenix
Work? Vacation? No it’s work..or was it vacation? When you are doing something that you are passionate about and there is so much growth behind it, how can it be called work? With Photography, I was passionate believe me…but when things didn’t go right or things got stressful, I was THE wizard behind the curtain...
Gift Giving/Getting
After reading The Five Love Languages it is impossible to not think in terms of people’s love languages of yourself and others. I am pretty sure that one of my strongest love languages as I have mentioned before, is ‘words of affirmation’, with ‘gift getting/giving’ running a close second. Recently, for my birthday I got...
1st Day!
One of those days that every parent can relate to. Maybe not every parent can relate to the fact that after all these years…I still cry:( It’s the little things really. Jamie is in half day kindergarten this year and I still don’t know how I feel about him growing up too fast. He wanted...
RIP Rose
Rose…Rosi..Rosa…Rosita…just a few of the nick names for this furry, little ball of bliss that has lit up our life over the last month. Doesn’t really make you want to go have that morning cup of tea or coffee, does it:)
One year The Bennett’s (family away from family) decided it would be the perfect gift...
Raising Carlisle’s
Recently a friend of mine wrote me an e-mail that lit up my soul. I wanted to share parts of it because it is an aspect of mine and Jake’s life that we are very proud of. People are continually commenting on how well behaved our kids are. I usually pass it off with a...
Talent Show
Oh yeah…it’s what you have all been waiting for…or at least Jalena has:) We missed her talent show this year and our compromise was that I told her that I would put her on my blog. I’m pretty sure that she thinks she is going to famous from this now. I am so proud of...
Jump!
“We flood our minds with words! They mesmerize and manipulate us, masking the truth even when its set down squarely in front of us. To discover the underlying reality, I’ve learned to listen only to the action.” (Judith M. Knowlton)
The other day we went to Ft. Vancouver with Jamie’s preschool class and it was a...
