Hatred exists. Sometimes I still just have the hardest time wrapping my mind around this fact. And yet, it's there. You'd think that as a human species who claims to have evolved we'd have learned that hatred solves nothing. nothing. Charlottesville. Charlottesville is just a tiny fragment in the whole of this hateful divisiveness being [...]

Friday Faves – Countdown to Europe Edition
Friday. Countdown to Europe Edition. T minus 7 days until I board a plane with the hubby and three teens and travel off for springtime in Europe! The first flight my kids have been on in over 10 years! The first time 4 of us have ever left United States soil! We've got lots to [...]
WPC -Resilient
Resilient. The photo challenge this week is "Resilient". Pondering those places, people, or things that endure. Reflections proper for the end of the year. Or in my case, the beginning. I love when people that have been through hell walk out of the flames carrying buckets of water for those still consumed by the [...]
Time Travel Tuesday – Blogging Reflection
Blogging Reflection. As the end of the year approaches, I've done some reflecting in the little snippets of downtime here and there. I'm also a few weeks out from my one year blogiversary. So my travel back in time this week isn't into the distant past, it's to the beginning of 2016. You can find my [...]
Peaceful Horizon
Peaceful Horizon. This time of year seems to be busy, busy, busy. The oldest went on a discovery flight and made a discovery! He loved flying so much that he is now exploring his options to become a pilot. The middle child finally made it to his brace freedom day. He has braces no longer and [...]

Follow the Wind…. even for a minute
Follow the Wind Friday was originally where I thought I'd get to tackle projects and find out things such as: A-What I'm good at doing B- What I'm not good at doing C- What I enjoy doing (one of the most important, in my opinion. As soon as I decided to set aside this time [...]
Photo Quote
Photo Quote. Found a new editing app that I wanted to try out. The photo was taken by me. Hope you like it! Let your light shine! Amy
Series of the sunset
Series of the sunset. This is an unfiltered, untouched series of the sunset over the course of 20-30 minutes on February 19, 2016. Taken with a Nikon D3200 on the landscape setting. I'm still working on understanding more about settings and also how to sometimes use filters and such to convey exactly what I'd like [...]
Chasing Sunset
I love a good sunset. But then again, who doesn’t? I grew up in Naples, Florida, a place famed for its sunsets on the beach. I also love to be behind the camera. When I am behind the camera, I am completely in the moment, not thinking about the future or the past, just in [...]
