About me

Gender Female
Location Virginia, United States
Introduction My blog continues...after a large gap from 2010 to 2015! I moved from North Carolina to Virginia, home schooled my son, worked, enrolled him in public school, separated - divorce in progress - and I am starting over as a single mom. I'm picking up where I left off, and picking up the camera too. I'm continuing the journey - different than the one I'd mapped out - but still trying to live with gratitude, acceptance, by caring less about what others think and more about being at peace and living with grace, by finding joy where I am instead of thinking of it as a destination.
Interests My son, autism, Christianity, politics, parenting, current events, architecture, real estate, traveling, being creative - painting, drawing, designing, decorating.
Favorite Movies You've Got Mail, Father of the Bride I & II (I'm a sucker for sweet romantic comedies) Sleepless in Seattle, Last Holiday, Luther (about Martin Luther), The Pursuit of Happyness, The Blind Side, Rudy, any Doris Day, Esther Williams, & Lucille Ball movies, Miracle on 34th St (the 1994 remake!), A Christmas Story, The Santa Clause movies...basically anything happy, funny, & romantic (but not sleezy)
Favorite Music Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Dean Martin, Ella, Elvis, Patsy Cline, Louis Armstrong, Diana Krall, Steve Tyrell, Lou Rawls, Tony Bennet, Harry Connick Jr, Natalie Cole, Dave Koz, John Denver, Amy Grant, Martina McBride...
Favorite Books The Jan Karon series of books melt my heart and inspire me the most - to live a simple life, a life of genuine care for others and authenticity.
