Serene colors of the beach

calm and restore me
gentle waves tug at my soul
Climbing over logs, combing the beach
cares wash away like little bits of flotsam
I find my center, my balance, my self
I'm okay now


Where do you go to find your self?

After the storm

Spread your wings

Sunrise, Sunset

out our window...
Such a glorious, fleeting show.

My January newsletter has gone out - let me know if you would like to be on my mailing list.

Might I recommend

the talents of my dear friend Joie (MoringDesign.com)? She took my photos and turned them into postcards... and signs... and business cards. And even though she just lives a hop, skip and jump from me... we did it all on-line!

On the back...

My new postcards are being printed by this company. Just heard they are already shipped - ahead of time!

"Well this is embarrasing"

popped up on the Firefox home page when my son was unable to log in.

We all burst out laughing

I said - "Wow, they just took possible emotions of frustration or anger..."
"and mushed them all together in a laugh!" my younger son piped in.

Hmm
