First of all I have to say THANK YOU! You girls (and a few guys) sure know how to make a girl feel good! It would almost be worth having a birthday every week (if I didn’t have to get older) to get comments like I did yesterday. I loved reading all your birthday greetings [...]

There are only a few days left until my year of Finding 50 is complete – can you believe it? It has been a wonderful and pretty journey. The only downside to it being over is that it means I am a year older! I’ll have my last pretty post next week and then we [...]

Last week’s pretty theme was snow – this week it is light. Isn’t light amazing? It has magical qualities. It can create beauty, calm your soul, energize your spirit and bring a sense of peace to a frazzled day as it did to mine this past week. Day 330 – November 29 It had been [...]

My pretty pictures have a common theme this week – snow. We had snow in Portland on Tuesday and then I spent over 40 hours this week driving through snow and ice to and home from Idaho and Utah. It was a very long drive. One I am very grateful is over. It was physically [...]

I am counting my blessings this week. Life is fragile and this year has taught me that more than anything. I have had so many conversations with friends lately whose lives have been touched by some pretty sad and tragic things and the one lesson they are all coming away with is we have to [...]
