Me

                                            A beautiful birthday moment by the ocean
 

Baby number five arrives safely in my arms

 Spring Tulip fields, my first time seeing them in all their glory and my soul is on fire with the beauty of it all.

                                           Out for dinner at a most special place to me.

                My stint as a ballerina. It didn't last long but it was glorious and horrid all at once :)

                         Long long hair and my babe with hair the closest color to my own.

                                                          

                                                               A vintage dress that I adored

                                           By the Ocean is where I feel the most like myself

                                  A sad moment in my life that has had impacted me forever.

                  Surrounded by what I treasure...antiques...reminders of a different era

At the fall fair with my sister. Happy happy happy

A rainbow baby coming ~ my body at full capacity and so exhausted ~ and grateful

                                                    

                                                 She safely arrives ~ telling the children

                                                     All of my heart earthside

Beautiful moments captured by my husband

                                                 Up in the mountains nursing my baby

                                        At one of my favourite places not too long ago ~ 

There have been so many seasons ~ and these are pretty recent ones. I look back and see who I was, what I was going through, and think, this is life. 

This is all of us. All these seasons, all these stages, and we give so much of our selves, we have so much we can learn, we can bloom. Often there are things tying us down, holding us back, clipping our wings, or trying to stifle us and yet are we not all not survivors? Fighters? Are we all not made to see, feel, and express from our depths? So when I look back and see all of these photos and all these moments...I am so thankful. 

It might be good once in a while to do that ~ just take an honest look back ~ and see how you are changing, aging, blooming, fading 

and know that you are why this world is here.
