Well better a little late to the party instead of never arriving! I've been so busy creating new work this spring that my blog has been a bit neglected. But ... exciting news to share! My Sea of Happiness framed print was featured in the Jan/Feb 2013 issue of HGTV Magazine! Find Sea of Happiness HERE!
Time to Bloom - Central Ohio Photographer
Saturday, April 7, 2012
Happy Easter weekend! The flowers are blooming to their most heavenly beauty. Birds are happily calling to one another. The sun is shining more! And the air is warming.
And still, this weekend is so poignant for me. It was at Easter time on April 8th seventeen years ago that I lost my Mom and best friend after a brief fight with cancer. And now, only 6 years younger than she was when she passed, I find myself very focused on living life so very fully - very richly. I remember one of the walks I took with mom after she was diagnosed - I can still see her beautiful face full of wonder. I asked her what she was looking at. She said - "Everything. It is like I am seeing everything for the first time." To see the same with new eyes - I never forgot that & try to keep that thought & view each day. I realize that the seeds of my dreams long ago planted need now to be nurtured to fully flourish.... I am fortunate to be living my dream. But - there have been other seeds and dreams planted as well. And so this spring as I plant my seeds and flowers, I will be thinking of mom... of her dreams and of my dreams. And I will be busy nurturing them to full bloom!
Happy Easter Mom..... I love you.

Well we hardly had a winter to speak of & now we had a brief spring and went straight to summer in Central Ohio! I am appreciating the ephemeral beauty of spring even more this year!
