Hailey’s On Flickr Peeps!
Calling on all y’all!
My beautiful daughter has taken up her mother’s love for photography! Does it get any better than that?! Well, yes it can, and this is where I am calling on all y’all!
She has started a flickr account – Go check her out. Add her as a contact. Give her tips, positive feedback. Just be gentle. She is fragile in the self esteem area of photography! I told her that y’all would be great for her, as great as y’all have been for me, with your tips, tricks, advice, critiques and positive feedback.
I am so proud of the natural talent she has. I gave her a quickie lesson with my good camera one day, and then I just handed it to her. I said “go, go take pictures. Whatever strikes you, it doesn’t matter, just go.” And she did. And she has a fabulous eye. She plays on light like I do. She is getting the angles, thinking outside of the box and viewing the world as art rather than just random objects that share the same space with us on this planet!
I love sharing something I love with someone I love soo very much!
Life is good….

Trying….
Seems to be the theme these past few weeks.
Life has been trying.
I have been trying.
Pushing through, up over, around, beneath – however I possibly can – trying.
I have gotten the house unpacked, for the most part. Created, with the help of all of my children, a homey and comfortable environment full of positivity, expressions of love, warmth and blessings. I have thanked the Lord daily for the blessings He has bestowed upon us daily and I have asked Him for the strength to persevere and walk in His light.
We are coming out of the darkness on top. We are laughing so much, loving and enjoying that which lies before us. I am excited for our future, as it seems so bright before us! I cannot lie, I walk in slight trepidation some days, as the weight of the hurts gather strength from time to time. Only because I allow them too, I know this, and I must remind myself daily to set them down and walk away.
I am a lucky woman. I am surrounded, in the virtual, reality, and spirituality by beautiful friendships and those who love me. I have tremendous people around me to lean on, talk to, cry to, laugh with and know that at any moment I can find comfort in their hearts. It’s not easy for me to reach out and admit I need help sometimes, but by their grace, I know I have a safe place to land. Without judgement, without fear and without pain.
As we enter this new time in our lives, I face my weaknesses and reach through them, letting my strength shine through. That’s not to say that there will not be clouds that may hinder that light from time to time. I just know that I have to take each moment one breath at a time.
