Perspective

I’m not sure exactly what causes a shift in my perspective on things.  {I certainly can’t blame it on having the winter blues as California hasn’t seen winter since early 2013.}  It occurred to me that a perspective shift had happened in me when I walked up to the kitchen sink the other day and […]

New Beginnings + Fresh Starts

I’ve been thinking so much about this past year.  I laughed and cried putting together this little slideshow from 2013.  It’s amazing how a glimpse back through pictures always reminds me that we are living much more fully than I sometimes feel day to day.  We had some wonderful adventures, milestone celebrations, many many meals together […]

Just Us | September 2013

When it occurred to me a few days ago that I didn’t have a pic for this month’s Just Us post, something wonderful happened.  Rather than becoming stressed to fit it in, I was relieved.  This had been such a busy month.  Between my travel to New York, my husband’s travel, and the countless other items […]
