Wanderlust is a strong desire for or impulse to wander or travel and explore the world. I met my husband seven years ago. My five year plan at that time was to move to Italy. Little did I realize then that I was sitting across from my future husband. So, even though I am not […]
Become To reach shaped by thoughts we are what we think As I pass from here to there, and then to now my condition is changed, I become __________ That blank is open, infinite, fluid – changing minute to minute As I become, staying present in this precious moment in time I am different […]
It was so hard to choose just ONE image to show off my love of “earth” – especially here in the Lowcountry where I call home. I wake up every morning so incredibly grateful to call this my home and to appreciate the wonders of nature around me. Sunrises and sunsets where I can feel […]
I love angels. I have always believed in angels and can feel their presence in my life. Heavenly angels and earthly ones who find themselves on a mission of comfort, kindness or reassurance.

My husband and I have three go to walks that we choose from with our three canine family members. Willie, Waylon and Chewie live for these daily jaunts in and around our neighborhood and their excitement builds even before we actually say the word “walk” to them. They have this uncanny ability to read us […]

A man’s kiss is his signature. Mae West I shot this photo of my husband and me on our honeymoon in Italy. This was taken in a park in Venice. I have always loved shadows and I take a photo of my husband and I kissing like this everywhere we go. Isn’t it romantic?!
