A little about me and my family...

My photo
My love of people, photography and the world began as a child. My family moved a lot and taking pictures was my way of remembering friends, capturing special places or moments and holding them close. Becoming a wife and a mother has always been a dream of mine and I count my blessings daily. I started this blog shortly after our daughter, Yaya joined our family through the blessing of adoption. Its purpose was to share pictures and stories about our life with family and friends. Later, it shared our adoption journey to our second daughter, Baby Bird as well. Now that our family is complete I like to think of it as our family’s journal or life book. I'm passionate about life, my family and preserving our history one snapshot at a time. The thing that amazes me most is the abundance of beauty God blesses us with every day and in the simplest ways if only we take the time to slow down and appreciate them.

I Am

Some days you need a reminder of who you really are.  Right now I feel like I am a lot of lies I accuse  myself of being when I am hurting and feeling defeated.  So... if you are having one of those days, weeks, periods of time when it feels like the lies you tell yourself are truths maybe it's time to try this journaling tool.

I Am...
loving
generous
kind
helpful
giving
honest
willing to do what is asked of me.
stronger than I think I am.
resilient
hopeful
filled with faith even if some days it's the size of a mustard seed.
a good friend.
a good wife.
a good mother.
a fighter for the underdogs. 
prayerful.
lovable
funny
creative
emotional
a support to those in need.
a source of knowledge.
human.
a teacher, a nurse, a social worker and a therapist all wrapped into one.

I am a good person who tries her hardest to be everything everyone needs her to be.  I make mistakes, I say I'm sorry and I mean it.  I do my very best each and every day and sometimes I still fall short.  I am loved and I am a child of God.
