The challenge this week is “fleeting”….I love this photo; I’ve always wondered not only what she was doing, but what she was thinking. I live for moments like these!

I would be lying if I said I don’t love fashion and enjoy checking out the latest trends. Thankfully, I do have the confidence to wear what I want and do not feel a slave to whatever the latest issue of Cosmo is sporting in its glossy pages. Some styles are hideous and it pains […]

I was sitting out in the sun today, taking time out to reflect on the week, and this little guy was making a fuss hanging out in a tree overhead. Soon after, a friend joined him I got to watch them chase each other around the tree

This week’s photo challenge is escape. I find that when I need to get away from it all, I usually find myself near a beach, or at least water; be it a beach, river, lake, or even a bathtub. My soul finds it’s refuge and solace in the Word of God.
