Hello, What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that is gone forever, impossible to reproduce. TIME IS PRECIOUS! Dan and I wake up every morning feeling blessed that we have another day to make one more memory. The other day this popped up on my memories that I shared a couple of years on Facebook, something worth sharing again on this post. Most people think they take pictures to capture what they love. But look closer, and you will see something deeper: w

Welcome, The other day I ran across this, and Dan and I thought this should be shared as a post. A hundred years from now, in 2126, every one of us will be gone. We will rest beside our families, friends, and generations that came before us. The homes we worked endlessly to build will belong to strangers. The things we treasured so deeply, our clothes, our cars, our possessions will no longer carry our names or stories. Everything we fought to own will simply become someone e

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY May is here, this month is a time to celebrate hope, renewal, and new beginnings. As this month begins, just remember anything is possible. I grew up in Florida, spending the summers on the beach. Collecting seashells, getting sunburn, waiting for the seagulls splashing in the gulf, and watching for sailboats to pass. It was exciting, but I took it for granted. As time went on, when I entered mid-life, something changed; I was told I had breast cancer. I exp

THE JOURNEY TO GOOD HEALTH ART/ WORK IN PROGRESS Life is precious, as you scroll through my social media apps and website posts there is one thing that is for sure, I am enthusiastic about sharing my experience and knowledge for health.

So, it is time to open the book. Start writing on the first page. This book is called Opportunity, and it is the first chapter of the new year

Most of you know Dan and I have a pet turtle his name is Heckle. While we lived in Mexico, one day we decided to go to the local pet shop and there we saw this little turtle that had climbed up to the top of several other turtles. The moment I saw him; I remembered the same exact turtle I had when I was little. Dan also mentioned he had one too. So, with Heckle came a bowl and some food. The store owner stated that he will only live about 5 months. If you knew me, that would
