shhhh, it's kind of a secret...

My birthday is in two weeks ... Dec 19th.... Yes, I was the kid that ran around telling everyone it was my birthday :) I thought I would tell you all two weeks early and maybe you can email me or leave me a comment on my birthday !! The month of December brings a lot of reflection for me every year. What were the lessons learned over the past year. I am really trying to learn from the mistakes and soak up the good things and be thankful. Personally I have had a very difficult few years... A huge mistake that has had lasting consequences and finding my gifts in a way I probably would never have experienced without the mistake. I have a passion for this job that even surprises me :) I have found my own voice and how I want to express it and I feel soooo free when I use my camera and it is sooo wonderful ! I have the opportunity to bring joy to people I don't even know :) I can watch and appreciate the way you all love your families and that is a gift .... My love life is my children and my work. I am so thankful that God has been gracious to give me people to love and work to do... One day, maybe even for me, there could be more.. until then I am grateful and content for my connections to the planet... my kids and my connection to you... my heart and my camera...

I will let you know what I decide to do on my birthday. Maybe I will bring along my camera :) I can tell you, if I can round up all of my kids it will be somehting that includes seeing their beautiful faces.
