Meet Amy

I have struggled with the answer when asked, "What do you do?" and it isn't work-related. Ultimately, we settled on that I find things and untangle things. But I also read (a lot), pretend to wake surf, and watch Hallmark films.

The Weekend Away
it was amazing
So so good! Orla and Kate are long-time best friends off on a girls' weekend away. Kate is a bit of a player who is trying to get back at her soon-to-be-ex, causing her to spend frivolously and do drugs and hook-ups. Orla is a new mom ex...

Maybe Next Time
really liked it
Parts were a screaming 5 and parts were like “what?” And just irritated me. It is a Groundhog Day premise about a family of four - the mom is caught up in her own life and missing all that is going on around her with her kids and then he...

I love where I live

If you are ever think the world is full of ugliness, I know where you can find beauty.

If you ever feel like you have lost your way, I know where you can find it.

If there is ever a time when life is too busy and upsetting, I know where you can find a bit of solace.

If you feel like the sun is taking forever to come out, I know where it has no obstructions.

If there are days you don’t want to get out of bed, I know a place that is worth the effort.

If your day is full of pain that seems unbearable, I know where the pain is comforted

Sure, your pain won’t go away, the ugliness will not be changed, the business won’t slow down – but if you can take just one moment and find your “happy place” and think about it, gaze upon it or remember it, maybe tomorrow will be better.

I’ll bet you’ll see other “happy places” checking out the Photo Story Friday’s at Cecily’s and Lolli’s.

    it is so important to find those things that rejuvenate us. But how rarely we actually do it.

    All of them are gorgeous photos, but my favorite is the first.

    By the way, I also like your “About me” page. That’a a super family photo and I like the way your describe all the family members.

    Thanks for the compliment. The picture is one of my favorites and I still find a lot of things wrong with it. (I can, cause I handed my camera to a stranger all set and ready to go).

  • Great photos! Sure beats the view I have out my window in hot and dusty North Texas! Thanks for the escape.

  • What beautiful shots! I love the first one with the sun flare. I miss being there. Hopefully it won’t very long before we get back there!

  • Beautiful! I need to take more time to look outside.
