When pigs fly is a term that implies hopelessness. I am anti-hopelessness. Nothing and no one is hopeless. When I saw this paper airplane my youngest made, I was glad I handed that undying hope down to her.
I have several dear friends that the doctors have said that the fight against the cancer that has invaded their body is a loosing battle. My sweet friend, Cat, here on flickr is one of them.
I want to make it very clear~ that is not what I believe. I have great hope that she will be healed of this cancer and that she will watch that beautiful boy of hers grow into an amazing young man.
So to my sweet friends that are fighting hard things... whether it be illness battles, emotional battles, relational battles or even the small battles we all face everyday........
Today, pigs fly!

Thank you to the unknown person who donated blood.....and enough that my baby could receive 4 blood transfusions from the same person. Your sacrifice doesn't go unappreciated. ❤️
I have published a book, or rather, two editions of the same book, one in Italian and one in English, and I'm so excited about it. This is my first approach to publishing and I feel as if I'm throwing myself into the void.
The book is a diary based on the true story of Tancredi, a baby that suffered severe asphyxiation at birth. Writing about him has been one of the most spiritual adventure I have ever experienced. It has changed me more than anything else. It has just reduced the boundaries which, usually, separate one person from the other. It has given me a new vision of life and allowed me to share friendship with all the amazing people who have inspired and helped me through this path.
Now I'd like to share his story of courage and hope with you.

The Force That Moves Us: The Diary of a Stubborn Child
---------------------------------------
Ho pubblicato un libro, anzi due edizioni dello stesso libro, una in italiano e una in inglese, e sono emozionatissima. Questa è la mia prima incursione nell'editoria e mi sento come se mi stessi lanciando nel vuoto.
Il libro è un diario e racconta la vera storia di Tancredi un bimbo che ha subìto una grave asfissia alla nascita. Scrivere di lui è stata la più coinvolgente avventura che io abbia mai vissuto. Mi ha cambiata profondamente, riducendo i confini che solitamente separano gli uni dagli altri. Mi ha regalato una nuova visione e mi ha permesso di condividere sentimenti di amicizia con tutte quelle persone che, a diverso titolo, mi hanno ispirato e aiutato lungo questo percorso.
Adesso mi piacerebbe condividere la sua storia di coraggio e di speranza con voi.

In the midst of pouring rain and relentless tackles, one thing remains—the unbreakable spirit of the game. This moment captures the raw intensity, determination, and resilience of rugby. The grit on her face, the strength in her grip, and the chaos of the battle highlight why rugby is more than just a sport—it’s a test of will. When the rain falls hardest, the toughest players rise. 🏉🔥 #Unstoppable
day thirty. 1.14.12.
perpetual free fall.
looking at the beginning and end of this project, i feel like i have accomplished what i wanted to do. my goal was to practice creating and editing the ideas that had been swirling around in my head for the past few months. i was able to better visualize and create these photographs than ever before.
fun facts:
- the ideas for days two, four, fourteen, and twenty have been floating in my head for upwards on 4 years now.
- tome, day four represents cancer. i share that interpretation only because it is significant to everyone.
- days two, four, fourteen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty-two, twenty-six, and thirty are my favorites because they mean the most to me.
- days three, four, fourteen, eighteen, twenty-one, and twenty-six were shot within about 10 feet of each other
- days two, four, eight, fourteen, twenty, twenty-two, and twenty six came out exactly as i imagined in my mind's eye.
- this project was not only practice for me as a photographer and editor, but also as a model. to epitomize evident human emotion in a photo, i realized that the visual must be dramatized. it took me about 12 tries to get my eyes and hands the way i wanted in day four, and about 50 to get the jump perfectly in day twenty-two.
these photographs mean the world to me because they document my maturation towards my ideal artistic style
.
thank you so much for following my journey. i appreciate you all so much.
2019P52 28/52: Things With Letters
When I saw this week's theme for my Project 52 Flickr group, I immediately knew what my photo was going to be.
This little worry stone is very special to me.
In April 2013, we lost our 35 year old son to brain cancer. Bill fought hard for ten years and was an inspiration to everyone who knew him. His mantra was "Never give up". And he never did.
A dear friend of his had these made and provided them to everyone at his memorial.
Never give up!
Kindness can only be repaid in kindness, it cannot be repaid with expressions like, "Thank you" and then forgotten.

Caroline had done some reading on her summer vacation. One quote in particular stuck with her.
"All things are posible
until they are proved impossible-
and even the impossible may only be so,
as of now." Pearl Buck
As she worked on the feeder lid, she took great hope from this.

there you are
lying in the dust
along life's highway
twisted mangled broken
scarred
voices all around you saying
"you'll never make it now"
"it's over for you"
you can give in to the voices
or you can
bloom anyway
