"A moment of silence"







Hi all!

Started my day feeling very tired after a busy week.  Then I remembered today is a very important anniversary...9-11....they did a moment of silence on the radio and then Carrie Underwood sang God Bless America.  I could not only feel my goosebumps, I couldhear them too.  There is no way to have a moment of complete silence after such a tragic event.  I remember exactly where I stood when I heard the news.

After looking through my photo collection....I found some images that depicted life in a tired and worn out sense.  Then after looking further I found some "fun and energetic" photos.  We are truly blessed with each day--the anniversary of 9-11 brings that home.  I try to find beauty in most instances and you can if you look and listen....

Remember to stop and dance a little, sing a little, and notice the beauty in something that seems worn out....

We have two tired ladies...
A down dog....
A very tired man in N. Vietnam...

then we have...

Two people singing...
A ladie dancing....
An old worn door with beautiful flowers around it...

I choose the second category...just sometimes I need a reminder such as this day.

Love to all of you!

Home Again, Home Again


Hi all!

Photography has taken me many places around the world....5 of the continents.  I caught life from so many angles...in an airplane, hiking the Incas, skydiving,  walking the boardwalk in Viarreggio, a photo safari in South Africa and it has given me a wonderful pathway into the music world with promotional photography.  These are all just a few of the opportunities I have had.

After going to all these places and capturing so many vantage points, I am "Home Again."  

As the photographer for On Pegasus Wings and as a board member I am So fortunate.  I get to participate with the horses training and handling to get them ready to be therapy horses.  Thank you Debbie Lloyd for all your hard work and for including me in on such a worthwhile cause.  I believe with my photography I am supposed to help others and it is happening!   I get to be near horses again after 20~ish years without them in my life.  I am truly "Home Again" and centered.  It is therapy for me.  It has made me realize just how much these incredible creatures can help people in need such as Autistic children and war veterans with the On Pegasus Wings charity.  The horses are facilitators for bring one "Home."  Please  go to www.onpegasuswings.org for more info and updates!

The pictures of the horses that are attached are our first two horses that are in training.  Much to my delight they were trying to eat my shirt in the first 2 pics and the additional 2 I attached are their beautiful heads!

Have a blessed weekend and holiday!
