I have Alopecia, a super fun (not) condition where my hair falls out on my entire body. I was diagnosed with it at age 5 and 35 years later it’s just a part of my being. There are many challenges that come with this but the most challenging is the insecurity that comes with not …
I have Dyslexia. It’s pretty bad and I’ve struggled my whole life with it. I remember sitting with my mother at a parent teacher conference with Sister Martha in 3rd grade and being told that I was “mildly retarded.” I was not correctly diagnosed with Dyslexia until the 2nd quarter of 4th grade. I missed …
I read a quote once that said,”Parenting is like looking both ways before you cross the road and then getting hit by an airplane.” In his freshman year of high school we started noticing some unsettling behavior in our oldest son. He had always been happy and easy going, so we thought his new behavior was …
I have always struggled with my weight. I struggle with confidence in myself, my abilities and sometimes standing up for myself just because I don’t feel like I’m normal or valued. I can’t even begin to explain how frustrated I have been when I consider how long I have tried to eat healthy and exercise. …
At age 40 I became pregnant. I knew from the early stages of my pregnancy that this would be a different experience. At my first ultrasound it was apparent that our son had a serious heart problem and would most likely need a heart transplant. However, the ob/gyn also wanted us to see a …
After the birth of my second child the complications with the pregnancy and delivery left me unable to have anymore children of my own. I have always had a heart for adoption so the decision to adopt was a no-brainer for my husband and I. After trying for almost a year with an agency, they …
I got the feeling that I needed to participate in Wendy’s project many times before I actually got up the guts to email her. I kept telling myself – your life is good! Which it is, don’t get me wrong there. But I was touched by the sentiment that life can be good even if …
Those nearest and dearest to me have compared me to a squirrel; Determinedly running full speed in a direction, only to suddenly turn on a dime, change course and run in another for no apparent reason at all. Always busy with an ‘important’ task, yet a bit lost and confused in its purpose. As much …
I don’t know about you, but I have a love/hate relationship with technology. On the one hand, life has become much more efficient than it was back in the 80s and 90s of my growing up years. I mean c’mon, the fact that I can get a hold of my kids with a quick text …
We rolled our anniversary, Christmas and birthdays into one trip this year. Paris is somewhere I’ve always wanted to go. I was slammed with work up until we left so I didn’t do much planning at all and didn’t have any expectations. I was surprised to find myself falling a little in love with Paris! There are …
To all of my clients and friends, have a safe and happy night with your trick-or-treaters! Happy Halloween!
Beautiful Interiors are my favorite. I could tour open houses all day. I have a stash of home magazines on my night stand at all times. If I weren’t a photographer, I’d be feeding my obsession one way or another. So when I have the chance to merge photography and beautiful interiors, I’m totally giddy. This …
