measure
You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you had to overcome to reach your goals! -Booker T. Washington My habit has been to seek a path of least resistance. That has been especially true in my role as a photographer. When family and personal responsibilities interrupted my professional life, I quit. When…

getting ready to GO!
My daughter Ellie is preparing to leave for her humanitarian trip to Tonga. I am so excited for her. It stops my heart a bit to think of her on the other side of the world so far away. She will be without a phone…and gone for 17 days! I know her perspective of life…

prom!
There is always some apprehension for Ellie leading up to a dance…but she has come home so happy every time. Going with her friend Caden this year was no exception. He is such a nice young man. They went with their group to Top Golf the night before and watched movies later. Saturday they met…

Valentine flowers

After breakfast we enjoyed a fascinating tour of…

2019!!!!!!!!
The first day in 2019 began in CA! Any year that begins by the ocean has to be a good one! In my first yoga class in 2019, the instructor talked about goals: 17% of the population have goals. 14% of those have a plan in mind but are unwritten. 3% of those people write…

take care of the girls…part one
The two most important men in my life are Danny and my dad. They treated each other with such respect. On October 14th I was going to spend the day with my parents. It was Sunday. My plan was to go to a sacrament meeting and then head straight there. Danny offered to join me. …
