Tuesday Truth. Number 50. I thought this quote would be fitting since I've just finished reading The Gratitude Diaries by Janice Kaplan. The tagline to the book is "How a year looking on the bright side can transform your life." I try to practice gratitude and search for the positives in less than stellar situations, [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 49. As we move into November, and the autumn breezes begin to blow the leaves away, I move into the season where I become more consistent in reflecting on my reasons for gratitude. And as I move into that season, I'd like to take a moment to say that I'm grateful for [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 48. Yesterday was Miss Sunshine's 16th birthday. I captured that moment in time...that rite of passage...in another love letter written to her.

Tuesday Truth. Number 43. Sometimes I wish that life had a user manual. But, of course, it doesn't. And really, where would be the fun in that. However, sometimes some simple instructions are helpful. And it doesn't get any simpler than this. So... Pay Attention. Be Astonished. Tell About It. We hear a lot about [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 42. Fear often holds us back. As the Persian poet, Hafiz said, it is the cheapest room in the house. I would like to see you in better living conditions as well. Take an inventory. Where are you letting fear hold you back? For me, it's not putting my words or photographs [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 41. I thought this quote quite perfect given that my youngest has returned to school. It was very strange to be down to the last of my three for the first day of school. My life has been dictated by school schedules since 2005. If you count the part-time half days of [...]
