Monday, February 28th, 2011I ♥ Faces: Winter Wonderland
Tuesday, January 18th, 2011I have not blogged in --a long while. I know. Trust me: my mom has told me- over and over.
But I wanted to start back up for a whole host of reasons but finally had the kick in the butt moment when I ♥ Faces had posted this week's challenge: Winter Wonderland.
Living in Syracuse, you can say we live in this Winter Wonderland for an average of 6 months per year. And this year we have been more "wonderful" than usual. In early December, we had 96 hours of continual heavy lake effect snow which gave us 45 inches of the wonderfulness in those 96 hours. Thats when I captured Meagan marveling at it as it coated every inch of her.
Go on over to I ♥ Faces and check out the other snowy entries this week.

Heading Down a New Path
Thursday, February 4th, 2010
Here I am standing at the beginning of a new path. Not sure where it will lead or what lies ahead but stepping onto the path with a bit of blind faith and lots of encouragement from friends.
I have started freelance writing, something I have always wanted to do but never had the courage to make happen. The idea of setting yourself up for rejection wasn't the most appealing thing to me. And there is a lot of rejection.
But there is also that rare instance of acceptance. And that brings an elation so great that it makes the rejection that much easier to take.
It started on New Years Eve. I have submitted to magazines before maybe once or twice. Never tracking what I did. So I was beyond amazed (and taken way by surprise) when I got a call from a magazine that they would be publishing something I wrote. It is about our whole voyage into eliminating artificial food coloring. To get even better, they will be using some of my photos as well.
A few nights later, sitting with my husband I decided to make a goal- a commitment to myself that somehow I would get 4 things published this year. Lofty as it may be, I would work hard for it.
Ironically, the very next day, EverythingMom.com signed me up to write 4 articles for them.
It seemed like this was finally happening.
A dear friend offered me all the encouragement I could get and she gave me that final push I needed to really commit to this new endeavor.
So here I am stepping onto this new path with some trepidation. Hoping it isn't going to turn into some wild haunted Halloween path but remains peaceful and pretty and full of wonderful things.

Ringing in the New Year
Monday, January 4th, 2010
We rang in the New Year with wine, and pool, and dancing in the snow in our jammies, and of course-- passing out on the couch.
3 Degrees

It was three degrees out this morning as I stomped through the freshly fallen fluffy white snow to capture a few beautiful images.
