He's Growing

 This adorable little man is such fun to watch grow!

I love when I capture these unexpected gems. There isn't much that compares to a mother's love.

 Like a sweet doll!

Yummy hands!

Frosty

As I went to my car to warm it up, my windshield greeted me with this beautiful frosted art. I don't ever think I have seen a frost pattern so extraordinary, and in such an unexpected place. It is perfect, engaging, and graceful. This is such a great reminder beauty graces us in unlikely and even unsavory places. Weather we are facing a personal battle, or relationships are upside down, beautiful moments are peeking through the storm. 

My car is a mess (ask anyone who knows me, it usually is), my windshield has become many a bug's graveyard, and yet it produces beauty. 

Maybe even though I am a mess, I fu** up, maybe I am beautiful too, and so are you.

Photo-A-Day Slacker

Who knew disciplining myself to shoot, edit and post one photograph a day would be such a challenge? It certainly is. I am climbing back on this daily wagon!

The last few weeks, I have been watching documentaries, and reading about better nutrition. I have struggled with  my weight most of my life, and like many of you have tried everything. Well, almost. After learning so much the last bit of time, I have come to the conclusion that better nutrition should be the first line of defense for, well most anything that ails us. 

Well, that was obvious. 

We are marketed to sooooo much about this pill and that diet, we forget all we need to have strong lean bodies comes from what God has already provided. Unfortunately, our magic bullet never comes. We are left being fatter and sicker than when we start. At least I am. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of eating food-like products that perpetuate my biggest insecurity.

So here, I start my quest. Fresh slate, renewed endurance. This is a long race I have before me. I'd love to swap recipes and ideas with each of you, or your favorite workouts and tricks. Email me, FB me and share your secrets. If you are on a journey like myself, and have walked away from the challenge, go back and fight for your health, you are worth it.
