Last month I was lucky enough to win a print from a very talented photographer
and good friend, Christina Greve.
She lives in Denmark and I originally met her through Flickr
and now belong to her group, “The Shutter Divas” which
she runs on Flickr. She also has a yummy and divine blog which you can find here:
http://divasanddreams.blogspot.com/
If you haven’t had the chance to check
out her work, please do.
She is not only a talented photographer
but has a
beautiful soul as well.
Thank you Christina. I love my print.
Kiss kiss darling ♥
Age 10.
Going on 20.
Thinks she knows more than anyone else.
Has a bit of an attitude.
And she fights me on everything.
She’s finding her way in this world.
She loves music.
And she’s plays guitar.
And she’s good.
Really good.
And I’m so proud of her
When I hear her playing.
I get all giddy and choked up inside.
I hate her attitude sometimes. And want to smack it right out of her.
Ten…is hard.
But I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
She’s mine.
And I love her.
More than all the stars in the sky. I love her.
She makes me smile
when days are
gray.
She brings out the child
in me.
Gives me a reason to
get up in the morning.
She has my heart.
And
always
has.
My
Caitlin bug.
XOXO
Oh I am longing for Spring in the worse way.
Longing for lush green grass.
Going barefoot and feeling the blades of grass between
my toes. Dreaming of hazy pink golden sunsets.
And.
Snapping gorgeous photographs.
Sipping white wine on the porch.
Listening to locusts humming through
the night.
Yearning. Longing.
And.
Aching.
It’s Monday, although it doesn’t seem like Monday
Partially because the kids didn’t have school today due to Martin Luther King Day.
It snowed today. Big fat fluffy flakes.
The kind I like.
Then it turned to sleet.
Then rain.
Now.
It’s back to fat fluffy snow flakes.
Some would say it’s been a wasteful day.
I haven’t done a thing all day.
I took a nap.
Listen to some favorite music.
Tom Petty.
Nirvana.
As I sipped on ice Cold Root Beer.
Looked through old photographs.
Stayed in my pj’s all day.
Amidst three piles of dirty laundry.
But I don’t care.
Not today.
The laundry will still be there tomorrow.
Still waiting for me.
Today
I’m enjoying
Looking out the window
at the swirling snowflakes
sipping my rootbeer
and not
having a
care in the
world.
XOXO
Deep inside the midst of Winter; amidst the freezing and
complaining, I often tend to forget to look outside
and ignore the beautiful shades of Winter.
The coolness of the white snow and blue skies. The beauty of the bare
stark tree limbs against the wide open skies. The glistening of the crystal snow
as the sun glistens off it.
The quietness and stillness. The exhilaration as the
coldness steals the breath from my lungs and leaves
behind a fulfillment to live life to the fullest
each and everyday. To look around, touch the
snow, lay down and make snow angels, run my fingers
across the coldness of the steel tomb and wonder who
might be sitting there beside me. Feel the sharpness of the
wind as it whips across my face and listen to the wind shake
the branches to their core. I sit there.
Until my fingers are so cold I can’t feel them anymore.
XOXO

everything that I am
and everything I am not.
It’s my strengths and weakness
it’s my self-confident and esteem
my past
my present
and most definitely my future
My portfolio is where I’m going
and the places I should have been
and shouldn’t go
It’s everything
it’s my inspiration and never finished.
Always a work in progress
It’s everything I’ve ever seen, touched, or smelled, sensed and believed.
It’s my worse fears and all my hopes
all at the same time
It’s the beginning of a beginning and the end of a era
and so much more than a phase.
it’s my portfolio and describing it is describing me.
