If you follow me on Instagram  you may have noticed my recent involvement in #AWomansThirst project. It is a 40 day adventure of picture prompts created by the lovely Hannah Marcotti . Everyday, early in the morning, we are sent our next adventure via email. It's thrilling to receive each one because you never know what kind of adventure the prompt will take you on. That's one of the alluring things about this project, you never know what you'll have to do, where you'll have to go, and how you will have to express yourself through photos. It's a brilliant project, one that definitely keeps your creative juices flowing. Also, to know that I'm not alone, on a hunt to quench my thirst with a group of women doing the same, however that may look and feel, satisfies a deeper longing of connection for me.  We are currently on day #11 so you haven't missed much. If you have an instagram account and are looking for some creative ways to share pictures or maybe y...

On the sixth floor of the Embassy Suites in Downtown Orlando. It was David's birthday weekend. We were alone. So much laughter and loud silence. The kind that after being married for some years you begin to appreciate. It was just us, this beautiful view, and another day and night in our love. On the fifth floor of the Embassy Suites - the day before we switched rooms. A balcony was what we needed but this view was the best we had. This was the picture I took and sent to him saying, "This is our view. Can't wait to enjoy it with you. Hurry up and get here. Like now". He was at work, wrapping up a few deals. Hey, the deals are what pays the bills so I wasn't complaining,...just anticipating. Very special day. I was with the Fab Four, my four younger children. Got them dressed for an impromptu photo-shoot . They're growing. I want to hold on to every stage of their beauty, growth, and life. Through my lens I see differently. I see things I...

Reading...  Sex At Dawn . Taking my time, making my way through this one. Sex & Pearls, how appropriate? They do go hand and hand, wouldn't you say? The pearls made it easy to digest, I guess. Sex At Dawn - have you read it? "How we mate, why we stray, and what it means for modern relationships.  Here's some of the things you'll read about on the inside:   W hy long-term fidelity can be so difficult for so many.  Why sexual passion tends to fade even as love deepens.  W hy many middle-aged men risk everything for an affair.  W hy homosexuality persists in the face of standard evolutionary logic.  W hat the human body reveals about the prehistoric origins of modern sexuality."    I'm looking forward to it. If you've read it please share your feelings on this work and what, if anything, did you learn from it.     // Feeling...  happiness. In this moment I'm grateful for the happiness that I...

It's been a few weeks since we've been back from our trip to Jamaica. I can still hear the ocean and smell the sand. I can still feel the vibes of our entire weekend. And certainly haven't forgotten about all that delicious food we had!  Below are some pictures from Friday nights beach barbecue. It was a beautiful evening, thanks to  Half Moon Resort  chefs and entertainment.  The food was so good I wish I could have taken some home to eat the next day. There was so much to choose from and enjoy.   The weather was perfect. The music was just right. The people, the great conversations over dinner and after, the fact that we were getting ready to celebrate the union of our close friends, made the evening extra special. I was in heaven and so was David. It was an experience we will never forget and we wouldn't want to.  After dinner everyone gathered around to watch a hermit crab race.  ...
