WELCOME!

I am so glad you are here to follow along with me as life unfolds each day. I have enjoyed reading so many blogs. Some have been heart-breaking and some have been pure joy! I knows blogs can be very healing for those going through difficult times. I think all of us want to be a part of something, to connect with others in some small way. My hope is to share a little bit of my world with you, but also try to encourage, inspire, and perhaps make you a laugh along the way as well. I love that you have come to hang out for a while. I hope you are having a wonderful day! :0)

Thanks to Giving...

Thanks to giving, many were able to eat a hot meal at the Nashville Rescue Mission Annual Turkey Fry.  I couldn't have been more happy to have a small part of it by taking photos of all the action.  All the volunteers were fantastic, and there was so much good, happy, and thankful energy permeating the entire parking lot.  I met another local photographer, and it was so fun to share our love for all things photography.  He, too, enjoyed being a part of something so important and necessary at this time of year and all year long.

There is NOTHING like giving back to others, to the community.  It is really hard to stay focused on yourself and wallow in misery when you look at the faces of these people who have nothing.  I encourage each and every one of you to step outside yourself, your bubble, and get involved with organizations which are doing so much good.  You will never regret it. 

Life is messy.  Life is raw.  Life does not stop.  Give.  Happy Thanksgiving!
