Ruts are things we fall into when we work habitually rather than consistently. Switch off your auto-pilot.
~Cheryl Jacobs Nicolai
I’m on auto-pilot. It’s not necessarily a bad thing knowing that I got here from a crazy, wonderfully-busy 2009 year. But, as the year comes to a close and I’m gaining more and more time and room [...]

silent memories
What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life - to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories.

Photography Friday
If you ask your client to lie down, lie down with them. The perspective you get when on the same plane as your subject is always the best. I took this photo this week and it has officially become a 2009 favorite. I just love the love oozing out of every pixel.

my phone log
It’s no secret that my phone rings off the hook. I mean I am practically famous.
