Since I was young, I have found peace and comfort in nature. Surrounded by beautiful sights, sounds, and smells, my mind clears and my energy renews. Through my camera lens, I try to capture some of the beauty that makes me smile, and the creatures that make me laugh.
Wisdom and inspiration from great minds
As a former high school English teacher for almost 20 years, I also have a strong draw to quotes from remarkable minds, and I enjoy sharing positive messages that I find encouraging. Today it is more important than ever to speak with ourselves gently, and to teach our children to do the same.

Nature stories and easy eco-friendly tips
Taking walks in nature, photographing what I find there, and coming back with increased creative energy are three of my top favorite activities. I also love learning about easy and inexpensive ways I can do better by our planet, and sharing these tips with anyone who is interested in doing the same.
Gardening, gaming, and family
Besides these pursuits, I having fun digging in the dirt (or what some might call “gardening”), playing with my dog, and hanging out playing tabletop games with my husband and son!
Slow living and life moments
I hope you will enjoy my work and follow along on my journey toward a more peaceful, intentional, and easygoing lifestyle as we celebrate life’s many amazing moments, both big and small.
