"We are not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other. If you are always there for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you.
-- Jeff Warner"What I want to say to you is that sometimes life catches you by surprise and you feel unequipped to handle what it brings you, but every bit of life you've lived before that moment equips you to live through it. That's what I would give to you."
-Fanni Victoria Green-Lemons (talking to her daughter)If there is any secret to this life I live, this is it: the sound of what cannot be seen sings within everything that can, there is nothing more to it than that.
"The most important thing she'd learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one."

Summer time
I was lying in my bed, waiting for sleep to take over when the air conditioner kicked on. I felt the familiar cool air hit my face and I was taken back by the scent of the cool fresh air. … Continue reading
Full of Life
I have been reading a lot of obituaries lately. Sadly, because I know too many people who have passed too soon in the last few months. Thankfully, I have also witnessed some amazing recoveries. Some that I prayed for like … Continue reading
Tenants
Not necessarily welcome. Definitely freeloaders who think they own the place, but I am a sucker, so here they are, perched on our garage. ETA: Speaking of Obituaries…one of those birds is no longer full of life. It is now … Continue reading
I love watching fireworks. One of these days I would really like to watch them from a truly prime spot…with my camera and tripod. For now the best part of the fireworks will have to be seeing my kids enjoy … Continue reading
