And To All a Blessed and Prosperous 2014!

Welcome, welcome to my new blog! I have really struggled with what to write for my very first entry as I am embarking on a journey to a place I have never been before. It is a journey to pursue my passions and in the process share what I learn along the way and inspire those who choose to join me on the journey. This venture has  been several years in the making but on Thanksgiving day, as I turned the final corner and took the first step to make the journey a reality, I said a prayer. I hope you don't mind if I share it with you:

Dear God,

... Thank you for the gifts and talents that You have given me.

Help me to use them to glorify You. 

Thank you for the opportunities that have

presented themselves along life's path,

each one building on the last to bring me

to the place I am right now, physically, emotionally, spiritually.

I see Your hand in every turn.

Thank you for the beauty in Your creations. 

Help me to share that beauty with others

and let them know that it is through You that

I am able to share in creating earthly ways

of enjoying your Heavenly gifts.

Your humble daughter.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope to see you on a regular basis. I will be posting a little bit of everything here that pertains to memory keeping via photography and digital scrap booking which will include climbing the family tree. 

I would like to leave you with one of my most favorite quotes (you will see a lot of uplifting quotes here as words and quotes are some of my passions, too!):

“Immortality lies not in the things you leave behind, but in the people your life has touched.”

Have a blessed day! I hope to see you tomorrow!
