Hello Everyone. Yes, I am still here. I have received many lovely notes and emails from you all wondering of my whereabouts. Thanks so much for those! I have been around. So sorry I havent been writing much lately. Ive been busy. Busy just living, I guess. I feel like my life always goes like this. A little roller coaster like. Sometimes life is just so full that I cannot stop, well, living it, to take a moment to write about it. I both love and hate these times. Whats better than weeks so full of excitement and heartbreak that you can barely stop to catch your breath? It is the observer in me, the documenter in me that hates these times. I get so much from my moments of reflection and time turning my experiences into stories, so when I dont get to do that, I can feel that life is just passing me by, no matter how full it is.  So here I am,  putting pen to paper, or rather, finger to keyboard. Im back and ready to share all my adventures with you all. 

Now.

Now. Go now. No excuses. 

LIVE. While you can.

He didn't say that my music was still too loud, even though I had already turned it down for him. He didn't say the clicks of my mouse were keeping him up, even though I knew they were. I didnt keep working and instead climbed into bed to ease his tossing, even though I wasn't tired. And I didn't move an inch even though his scruff was digging into my shoulder after he curled so gently around me. And as I laid there, next to him, feeling his breath rise and fall behind me, I thought, sometimes there is so much more said when words are unspoken and moves are not made.

If you haven't seen the wedding video of the lovely Aubrey & James you must! I have never been so inspired both creatively and by the visible presence of love between not just these two, but their whole family. Please watch and go ahead, TRY not to cry, I dare you.
