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 …

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.
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 …

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.... …
A Back Road Reminder
I have recently been reminded of the brilliance that lives and breathes down the back roads of our lives. That "thing" that happens when one finds enough bravery to become the who, they have always wanted to be. When moments are stolen away from the demands of the day.
