DAY 28
 A good thing:
Take a photo of a good thing
 {something you saw, something love etc}.

I think pets are a wonderful thing for everyone, but especially kiddos. John and Hannah get to learn a little responsibility, be a little daddy/momma, they always have a best friend by their side, and just the beautiful exchange of petting makes both parties relaxed. It's a win win!

DAY 27
Love/Hate:
 Take a photo of something you love/hate.

MY IPHONE!!!!! 



I LOVE LOVE LOVE my IPHONE.
 It keeps my personal, family, friends, and well-
 my world functioning smoothly.
 I am so organized and up to the minute informed
about all my favorite things in the world.
 I feel in control, confident, safe, like a good mother,
 and "WITH-IT" when I have my phone with me.
 I am never bored, and I have a blast on it.
I am instantly able to escape from any kind of
awkward situation- or my noisy kiddos.
 I feel so grateful for this PHENOM
 technology in my life.

BUT... I also see how enmeshed I am with my phone and how ridiculously panicked I have been when I had missed placed it, or left the house without it.  I feel nervous, unprotected, vulnerable, and naked. I also see how I can miss out on the present moment sometimes while either picking out, designing, and saving all the details of my dream home, or choosing my daily angel cards . I question just how strong my ties are to it. It sounds so silly all my emotions about this little rectangular box with all it's fun games, camera, non-stop love notes from my man, map, connection with friends, calorie counter, music player, instant information when I simply ask it a question, etc. Well I obviously see now by me creating this post that for me the fabulousness of it WAY out numbers the bad.
 (I knew it)

Hero:
 Who do you look up to?
 Share.


 
I love hearing people share about their lives and all the adventures they went through that brought them to the current moment.
 Everyone's life story
is so AMAZING!
 The opportunities to discover,
 heal, and develop ourselves
 is SUCH A GIFT!!
I am the HERO in my story.

...and of course certain people have truly touched my heart by their acts of courage, devotion, love, loyalty, humility, generosity, playfullness, kindness, and commitment to seeing the positive in things. But I will not be listing them all tonight. For I am tired and going to bed. I just got off the phone with a dear friend of mine who is such a HERO to so many people including our family, but right now especially to a sweet family who is going through so much.
I love you Kathy. YOU ARE SUCH A HEROIN!!

Click on her name to see just one of her latest acts of love.

DAY 10
Black + White:

I LOVE BLACK & WHITE PHOTOS!
I am not quite sure what it is that makes
black & white photos so special,
but it is my favorite. 
 It just makes any old boring
 picture look interesting.
No pics taken from me today-
but here a just a few of the many
black & whites pictures
 that I have collected over my years.

I do LOVE WEEKENDS.

NATURAL CURL IN MY HAIR
= NO THANKS!
This is a pic of my
 natural hair
 taken with a weird filter
 in my phone.
 IT IS WILD, BEN CAN'T RUN
 HIS FINGERS THROUGH IT,
 IT IS CRUNCHY, IT IS BIG,
 AND IT LOOKS TRAILER TRASHY
 TO ME.
 Plus to get it to look crunchy,
 west side ghetto,and not Afro fuzzy
 I do have to apply some products.
 So I guess it's not THAT natural
 in this pic. But I don't care
 for my hair it's NATURAL way.
 I like it NOT NATURAL,
 you know like this! 



Colored,
 cut,
SHINY,
 blown out,
SMOOTH,
and styled
 = YES PLEASE!
