I am by no means the best Mum in the world, but I do try my best. This list still really made me think though ... and cry. My children really do mean the world to me.

I thought that I would take a nice little stroll through my backyard when my mini me thought it would be funny to trip me. I didn't think that it was funny at all. OW!!! She is so mean. I scuffed up my knee and I think that I will have serious issues from now on because of her.

It was a cool day to go out (-20C, -4F), but after a busy week and a free sunny Sunday afternoon, thought I would go visit with the Great Grey Owls today.
This one gave lots of entertainment.
“A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” Roald Dahl

This is a juxtaposition of two different people who are both re-considering something. The porter has resumed checking receipts or a schedule of some kind, while Andrea is thinking about her response to a question I just posed to her. I did that for this very reason, to take her mind off of me and create a contrast of varying thoughts. Manhattan NYC, 17 June 2017.
"Thought Reform" 2019 from the #BurdensofaWhiteDressProject
From a young age "brainwashed" was a common word in my vocabulary. Though I didn't fully understand what the word meant, my parents would insist that we weren't brainwashed, and that anyone who said otherwise was a tool for Satan.
As I grew older, whenever I was struggling with church doctrine or in opposition to it, I was sent away to a church workshop to shunt me back onto the path. Though I didn't realize it then, they were essentially reeducation workshops. With their hours of lecture, physical punishments, and limited sleep schedules, they were intended to rewire our brains into submission.
The first time I was sent away I was eight. My parents put me on a bus full of strangers, and I was driven from Virginia to a camp in New York where I knew no one. We were kept up hours after my bedtime in a competition that involved a lot of screaming to show the spiritual world our unity. Though I snuck off to find a corner to sleep in, I was found, chastised and sent back to the games. Years later, in a leadership training, we were awoken at three in the morning with a dog whistle and ordered into a darkened parking lot to do jumping jacks so that we would learn "absolute obedience."
I would come back from these workshops with a strange floaty feeling, like I was invincible. "You're acting brainwashed," my sister would hiss at me, horrified by the change she witnesses. I didn't understand.
By the time I was 16 and had finished high school, we were expected to go away for a two year mission called Special Task Force where we lived in van, fundraising and witnessing for the church. Although all my friends had gone, I chose to stay because I felt that I was too young. When my friends would come back for the holy days, I could barely recognize them anymore. They seemed wholly altered, a strange light in their eyes and a smile plastered across tight features.
"This is what brainwashing looks like," I thought, understanding it for the first time.

I've been thinking about blogging my stories to accompany my photos and was wondering if this is something you'd be interested in reading.
Colossians 3:17 NKJV
And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the father through Him.----------------------------------------------------------As we go through life, we have many decisions to make daily.
Work, school, and chores all require some actions and decision making.
Remember W.W.J.D. ( what would Jesus do)? To test ourselves on this, we should ask these questions:
Can I do this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ?
Would this be to His glory?
Could I expect His blessing to rest on it?
Would I want to be doing it when He comes back again?
When we apply this test to our own words and actions, we may find some things that need changing. [ Romans 13: 13-14]
Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lust.------- What business does a Christian have with revelry, drunkenness, lewdness, lust, strife, and envy? The answer is none!
Sinful actions and sinful attitudes all start with a single thought. [ James 1:14-15]
But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.----
Sow a thought- reap a habit.
Sow a habit- reap a lifestyle.
Sow a lifestyle- reap a destiny.
What will your destiny be? The choice is yours to make.
You can choose to accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, submit your life to Him and enjoy a growing relationship that will take you into Heaven to spend eternity with God.
You can choose to embrace the world and its views. Reject Christ and spend eternity in Hell separated from God.
If you are a believer, do not let the worlds temptations make you play the hypocrite.
If you are not a believer, I urge you to choose wisely!

This cake was made from left overs of other cookies...my hands are sticky and oily from baking, so therefore I think they are looking nice, yummie and just one thing I forgot to do, to write down on paper this receipt so I can claim hwo I invented new cake.:)
My life has been a whirl wind the past few months... So I haven't had the time to put into my photography, which is crazy but sometimes you gotta just roll with the punches & fight to stay up!!
So through my clouded thoughts I pray for clarity...
Happy New Year!
This was obviously before the dolphins showed up. A few minutes later, the dolphins began their show and nobody was serious anymore. Spirits were not any higher.
phototip: It was 6:02 in the morning, about 15 minutes after sunrise so the sun was softly and slowly casting its golden glow on us- a perfect time to shoot portraits! In a moving boat, use the widest aperture possible to ensure a shutter speed fast enough to prevent blur.
