Day 6


I hate dirt under my nails. But with three boys, we play in the dirt, a LOT.

Day 5


I have worn shoes maybe 5 times in 10 years. All I ever wear is sandals.

Day 4


I have always been fascinated by the Muslim religions, but I cannot imagine wearing a head wrap like this all the time!

Day 3

Tonight we went to BeleChere in Downtown Asheville. As usual, it was a blast, and we were lucky enough to enjoy some good brew and awesome music.

Day 2

The River is a huge part of our lives, not just a particular river, but the nature, the power of water, the beauty... For me, there is nothing better than the feel of the cold water and cobblestones on your feet.

Day 1

I really am unsure of where to start, do I want to take a true "self portrait"? Do I want to take a photo of parts of me that I am proud of? That I am self conscious of? That I think are odd? What?

Well I decided to take a photo of something that really is "me" and my family. Recently I got a new tattoo on my forearm that has symbols representing our story. The top symbol, that is in focus, literally means family.

ANOTHER Blog?!

Yup. I decided this evening that I need to work on a few things.

#1.) Taking photos that aren't my normal type of shots.
#2.) Being less self conscious.
#3.) Getting in front of the camera instead of hiding behind it.
#4.) Some of my photography skills.

So, I am going to try to take a photo a day of me (or at least some part of me) starting tomorrow.

I've come to accept that I have the body of a woman who has given birth to three babies, who will never be a size 4-5 again, who threw out society's definition of beauty, but who is beautiful none-the-less.

So please feel free to lurk, comment, and enjoy my photos (just don't be too harsh!)

Here I am, not a great photo, but just my starting point:
