My husband and I delved into photography the past few years. You can credit our interest to a couple of different things. The first would be this blog. Yes, this blog is all about quotes, but I pair the quotes with images, preferably my own. And now, whenever my husband Rob goes snowshoeing or backpacking or fishing, he takes along a …
This quote makes me smile. The words takes me back to my childhood … and to the years when my children were younger. And to be honest, there are still messes created in our family living room on Christmas morning. And I love the glorious mess. Yes, there’s noise — laughter and conversation all mixed together. And the room is …
I love the quotes that set me back on my heels and make me go, “Huh.” That’s exactly how I reacted to what Duke Ellington said — only I smiled when I said, “Huh,” and then I told my husband he had to read the quote, too. Let’s just all admit we pout. The question isn’t really what do we do …
Run across any thorns lately? Did you hear a no when you were so, so hoping for a yes? Did a family member or a friend disappoint you — or did you disappoint yourself? Were you overlooked for a longed-for recognition or promotion or award? Did you argue so badly with a loved one that reconciliation seems impossible? Were you accused …
Some days are tougher than others. Some days are disappointng. Some days seem unending. Some days are heart-wrenching. And yet … is it possible to somehow, someway, discover good in those tough, disappointing, unending, heart-wrenching days? If we choose to look for the best — yes.

In my life, Julie Andrew’s truth of “Unfortunately something always has to go by the wayside” translates into “You can’t do it all.” I’ve watched other people juggle multiple major tasks — and I used to …
It’s amazing the difference two words can make. If only … two words that hold you back, trip you up with regret, refuse to let you begin again because you’re still caught up in something that’s over and done with. Next time … two words that say “go ahead, try again!” and promise there’s more to life than your mistakes …
Have you looked in the mirror today? Who — or what — was staring back at you? Stop. Don’t just rush past that last question. It’s the entire point of today’s post. Close your eyes for a minute and think: Who — or what — are you using as a mirror? Mirrors. They’re all about approval. Does my hair …
For so many years I didn’t know what to do with that word — Beautiful. It didn’t apply to me, and yet I kept running into it and being reminded I wasn’t one of the beautiful girls. Not even close. Now why, you might wonder, would I think that? Pretty simple: I heard in blunt terms that I was ugly. NOTE: Please …
Habits are highly effective — or so they say. But there’s something to be said about allowing life to surprise us. Remembering to be wide-eyed. Taking time to marvel at things around us.
