Waterfalls and anything water

         These are two of my favorite pics from when we went to Yosemite in 2008.  The first picture is Bridal Veil and the second one is part of Yosemite Falls.  I love waterfalls and every time I see one I light up.  It’s a combination of the crisp smell of the water, the feeling of the… Continue reading Waterfalls and anything water

Topic #3 – Best Accomplishments 2010

This one was easy.  Starting my blog was one of my best accomplishments of 2010, especially considering that I have always been shy about openly expressing that I love to write.  And even more important was allowing myself the chance to really open up and say, yes, I would even love it if one day I actually published… Continue reading Topic #3 – Best Accomplishments 2010

One Word: “Alter”

It’s not easy, because we tend to be creatures of comfort, but its a heck of a lot better than the alternative… Continue reading One Word: “Alter”

One Word: “Rejection”

I was a bit taken aback when I saw today’s word of the day.  It was quite funny actually to become aware of my immediate first reaction, I literally stepped back in my seat, like trying to avoid getting hit by the word.  Well, haven’t we all experienced rejection once or more in our life, I know I… Continue reading One Word: “Rejection”

Optimism

  It’s the beauty you see in every day just when you think that you can’t go any further.  Optimism is when you are walking down the street and a stranger returns back that smile and greeting.  It’s that hope that for an instant you aren’t a stranger and you have shared in a happy moment… Continue reading Optimism
