About

I like to tell stories.

I’ve been taking photos of nature and people since I was a little girl and nagged my father each Friday to bring home cameras and film from his office at Kodak.  Getting rolls and rolls of film developed cheaply was a company perk.  Lucky me!

And as I told someone recently, I could write about dirt all day long and be happy.

I’ve also been lucky enough to meet the coolest people along the path my life has taken.  Diverse, talented people who often had unique talents or gifts to share with me.  You’ll find musings here about them from time to time, too.

I’m a truly blessed woman to know exactly who I am and where I came from.  And family is the reason for everything I do.

Occasionally you’ll find the things like “dude” and “that rocks” peppering my posts.  Just remember that I’ve mothered four teenagers and my cycling team is full of 20- and 30-somethings.  It rubs off!

Oh, and if I call you “Honey” or “Sweetie Pie” don’t shoot me.  It’s a Southern thang.
