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.

Pan-1

Tink. She’s got stars in her eyes, sasses with her arms akimbo, and feels passionately protective of her Peter.

I’ve told the kids since January that the hours and hours of rehearsal would turn to sweet bliss once opening night comes. They are in the zone now. Two shows down, four to go . . . and they’re already talking about the next play.

The real gold happens backstage, before the show, where the kids laugh, sing, pray and bond together. My sis, Nancy, and Shirley take each actor into the seat and fill their hearts with love and encouragement while they’re painting, glittering and spraying. May these kids bank this one as a highlight from childhood. A priceless snapshot in the scrapbook of the good ole days.
