Welcome to my personal diary of writings and photographs that express my thoughts and feelings. I am a graduate of the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale with a degree in photography. It had been many years since I picked up a Nikon DSLR camera. It was the love of a woman that put one back in my hands. Though the woman and love now gone my passion for photography will remain forever. I hope you will take this journey with me!
I am a woman, a daughter, a sister, an artist, a photographer, writer, a Realtor, caretaker to Steve & Tyler a friend to some others not so much. I’ve loved too deeply, fell too hard and now I am here to pick up the pieces of a life not lived to it’s fullest.A life spent living for others and not myself. My true life’s journey begins at 58. All I have left to take care of is me and I won’t break my own heart…

“I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe
I like to express myself through words and photographs. I have a lot to say but I have found the audience on social media can be mixed. People judge, they don’t like to see reality there, it is a made-up world for many to pretend to be something they are not. Happy when sad, in love when broken-hearted. Here I will keep it real. Read or not, it’s your choice but the blog is for me to be who I am not what others want me to be.
