About me

Gender Female
Introduction There really isn't a theme here, just an extension of me. This is what could be called a young empty nester blog. I'm 42, but age is all in your head & how you live your life, so that makes me virtually 34. I have a daughter, who is 18. She's an only child, so we're very close. I'm trying to balance my new found empty nest life with the day to day. Things I believe in down to my core : family, good friends, love in your life, the power of Calla Lillies; the color purple, in almost every shade, was made for me, the power of good live music. The fact that people can dissapoint you, the fact that those same people can turn around & do wonderful things & restore your faith, I just wish they'd do it more often. I don't suffer apathy or passionless people. Live with integrity. Live with dignity. Live with some self respect. Live your life with purpose. I am a photographer of people, all shapes & sizes, places, & things. True Beauty is in the details. Your most attractive feature is your heart and soul.

The squish of mud between your toes; how would you live your life as a frog?

not very well, as I am scared to death of frogs, toads, especially crickets -- yes, most bugs and I'm pretty much DONE. Heights as well, thanks for asking :)
