I wish I was better at words... and I'm even a 'words' girl on many levels... But this weekend I was honestly, SPEECHLESS! My girls threw a surprise party for me, and I was SO surprised I think it qualified as pure shock! Like, car-accident-I-can't-believe-this-is-happening SHOCK! And then tears.... I'm in awe of the joy... Continue Reading →
Perfect Blend January 2018
Best words from my Melody (17yo) today; I took as a huge compliment... she said “it’s like Dad is the Y axis and you are the X axis and we are the Z axis!” We were talking about being opposites; that we’re really not opposite at all; and the kids are a perfect blend! 😉... Continue Reading →

Santa Cruz Music December 2017
You know it’s going to be a great music store when it has such a cool alley to get to it!! The family went in as a few of us waited outside; and when I saw the crowd before they went into the light I fumbled for my camera. So I got a few girls... Continue Reading →
To be grateful…
QOTD: “To be grateful fills you with greatness.” Ruby, age 9 (Nov 2017) Location: Maybe near Klamath, CA. Weird sky from fires and smoke, covering the sun. This is my religion:
Balance and Vision
