Once upon a time there was a little girl that wasn’t much more than a little bit of hope. She lived inside of me and when I went to see how she was growing, I held my husband’s hand and smiled. The smile didn’t last long. I was told she might not make it, that […]
Gerbera Daisies
My favorite flowers are not particularly rare or expensive, but they are unabashedly beautiful. Wouldn’t it be great if we were all shameless in our beauty? Shameless is not the same as arrogance. Do not be ashamed of your beauty.
Produce Gone Wild!
Don’t you hate it when your tomatoes go and grow mold flattops before you get a chance to eat them? P.S. Unknown Papi looked a lot like this tomato when he was in the 7th grade.

Fragmented Fridays

My Brother…same old story
My brother is a drug addict. He isn’t much of anything else. He isn’t much of a man. He isn’t much of a father. He isn’t much of a husband. He is an excellent liar. He has been a drug addict for more than half of his almost 32 years. None of it comes as […]
Look what I Made! (Make Your Own Camera Bag)
Inspiration is where you find it and since I’m online a lot, I often find inspiration online. I recently got my first DSLR camera and as you can imagine I am pretty excited about it. I’m learning slowly and figuring out what kind of accessories I want and need. Right off the bat, I knew […]
