I am NOT a professional photographer by any means, but I sure adore taking pictures. It's just a hobby. I drive my family nuts with the amount of pictures I take of everything. I find beauty all over place in many shapes and forms, even in pain. Because when there's pain, there's raw emotions and emotions are deep and real.
I plan to take classes so that I will be able to put full use to my incredible camera and software. My ultimate goal is to travel the world and I would rather enjoy the opportunity to take incredible pictures of my adventures.
So for now, enjoy my hobby as a non-professional
Sea and Soul
September 22, 2022
The warmth of the sun, gleaming off my skin
The sensations are felt, from deep within.
The water is calm, peaceful and clear.
Suddenly I feel, as if home is near.
The scent of the salt water, tickles my nose.
The cool of the sea, plays at my toes.
I have forgotten, the journeys of past.
As I lay here and look at the sky so vast.
This peace I feel, from deep within
Is right where the new me, must begin.
The openness and expanse, of the calm sea,
Not a cloud to be found, no one judging me.
Not a care, not a worry, or trouble in sight
As the battles within, have taken their flight.
Relaxing and calm from the warmth and the sway
I drift off to sleep as my dreams take me away.
I suddenly wake with a jolt and a fright,
As the flash of lightning lights up the night.
My boat is crashing hard against the waves,
I’m frantic and worried, what if this storm stays?
I am holding on for dear life, as this storm rages on.
But deep inside my heart, I know I must be strong.
I pull myself together and figure out what to do.
I wipe away my tears even though I’m terrified too.
I am a warrior, I have been through hell.
But I keep on surviving, though I’m unwell.
I’ve been through far worse than this entire storm.
They keep coming at me as this is my norm.
I get it together and head for the shore.
My life ain’t yet over yet, I still want more.
I find my way, completely drenched from this rain
Hopping onto the sand feeling so incredibly drained.
I decide to find shelter, for a short period of time.
I know I am the master, of this soul of mine.
I rest my weary bones for what seems like forever
Thinking this storm won’t pass but, never say never.
I leave this dark shelter, cause it finally feels safe
I brush myself off, with dignity and Grace
And I head outside, and feel the sun bright on my face
I silently thank, the universe above
For trusting in my strength, and giving me a shove.
I fix up my boat, to head back out to sea
Knowing that I, finally have faith in me.
The warmth of the sun, gleaming off my skin
And the sensations are felt, from deep within….

Projects
I'm New At This
So this is something I'm dabbling in and I'm sure it's going to have some ups and downs along the way so bear with me. My first project is a mirror that was different colors. The "before" pictures aren't great so I'll just explain; it was half crusty gold and half white glittery on the boarder but I changed it to this gray, matte finish that works nicely with my room. Please ignore my mess.. This is real life with a full time working, 3/4 time school going, mom with severe health conditions. This. Is. Real. Life. For. Me.
Ugly Sweater
Rudolph's Excitement
Poor Rudolph had too much eggnog and random crap and threw up all over.
I do tend to have a slightly twisted mind haha.
OOOOPS
Unfortunately it came out both ends. LOL.
I had a blast making this sweater. I got the sweater lights, and felt from Walmart and the rest was all dollar store. Just used some hot glue to get it all on.
