Thanks, Ann Voskamp!

Life is not an emergency. What a message that I need to hear, absorb and live! I am so grateful to Ann Voskamp for shouting that from the top of her blog. But, even though life isn’t an emergency — time is my enemy. Every morning, I wake up and spend the...

Sometimes I forget just how lovely the 50mm lens is. Today the call was miracle for my joint-365 blog, Call and Response. You can see the beginnings of the cake over...

I'm cross-posting with my collaborative 365 blog today…the call was "inputs" and I think I'll talk about how creative inputs are all around us if we only have the eyes to see. I'd loved it if you visited!...
Wednesday Walk

Wednesday Walk

After having to spend Monday and Tuesday mornings locked to my desk doing paper work things, it was so nice to be able to take the littlest boys to the park Wednesday morning. The weather was so fallish — cool and crisp. And we had so much fun playing on the...

Morning drop-off can sure wear a fellow out.
Walk Along

Walk Along

Linking up with Lissa’s brilliant Walk and Click Wednesday — next week I promise to get out on a fresh walk and not recycle old pictures and to get it up on Wednesday! : ) Until then, I memorized this poem as a child and it always comes to mind when I see...
