"She may be small, but she is fierce." When I was a young mom, I grabbed ahold of the scripture that says, "Bring up a child in the way that they should go and they will not stray from it." Proverbs 22:6 I am not saying I did it well. And I am certainly not …

I am a wife, mom, granny and freelance writer and photographer living in Washington State Wine Country. I love to write about the amazing things I see, and the brilliant people I meet down the dirt roads of life.
I CAN
I had the very distinct pleasure of meeting this little cowgirl yesterday. In her four years she was more "cowboy" than most adults. As I watched her get pushed aside by the big people, thinking she was just to little, or too young, or..... I over heard her, under her breath, assure herself , I …
Intentions
It isn't enough to have good intentions. . . Those intentions need to be followed through with action. This past week I said to my friend, "I am going to spend more time doing the things I love.." Mostly, to me that means photographing my friends and family doing the ranching life, and spending more …

Perspective
It's easy at times to take things, people for granted. It's easy to look and see what we want to see. Instead of taking the time to make sure that what we see is really what is. In the hustle and bustle of life... "I'm fine" seems to be either the answer we give to …

Wednesday Coffee
For several years now, pre COVID, I have met with my girlfriends on Wednesday mornings for "coffee." Two years into our weekly meetings, one of us came to the group and said that she felt God had laid on her heart to organize a family night of Praise during the Yakima Valley Fair and Rodeo …
The Gateway To Success
I am more and more convinced that EVERY adversity can serve as a gateway in our decision to who we want to be on the other side of it. The challenge, of course , is making sure that we have that particular tool in our belt so that when adversity does show up, we have …
Overnight Success
Who could have imagined that little old me could, at 58, become an overnight success? Certainly not me. I never had high enough aspirations to achieve such a thing. To some, I am the perfect underachiever. I like life smaller, quieter, less chaotic. I tend to do "gone" better than most. I hate drama and …
FAITH WALKING
I was struck by this photo this morning. I woke up with a full-on panic attack. Literally sitting straight up in bed, out of a dead sleep. In my dreams was the image of a tightrope walker. She had one of those long awkward poles in her hands as she tried to find her balance.... …
