My Passion

As a young girl I dreamed of being on Broadway.

I planned to move to New York with a girlfriend in my early 20's.

{I got a communications degree and became a high school English teacher instead.}

I met an amazing stage director and musician and fell head over heels.

He asked me to marry him on our second date. I was 26.

We had beautiful babies. Lots and lots of beautiful babies.

My girlfriend asked me, "What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?"

Capture beauty through my lens.

Life is precious. I'm only guarenteed this moment. And I'd rather fail at something I LOVE than succeed at something I could take or leave. Life in a nutshell.

I know who I am. I know whose I am. And His plans for me are far greater than I could ask or imagine.

I. love. life.

When I saw the smile in his eyes, I knew it was not the first time I had seen that glimmer. Rewind . . . all the way to kindergarten at Faith Christian School, where Cory, my son Daniel and my niece Rachel all arrived, uniforms pressed, book bags loaded.

Cory kinda grew up. Now he’s into football, fitness and his shiny Soul. Still the nicest guy you’d ever want to meet . . . with hope in his eyes of dreams on down the road. . . a Hokie engineer. . . and he’s got the keys to get there.
