How many times have you prayed and you don't feel like you're being heard or you feel like your prayers are being answered? 

No matter where you are or how low you are, God is always listening. You don't even have to get on your knees. You can say a prayer in your head. 

But we need to remember to be patient to wait for His answer. Come and listen to this short and sweet message I have to share. 

Have you ever thought how much your body language, tone, and eye contact is part of strong communication?

Did you grow up listening to stories about your ancestors?  Do people share those stories anymore?

I am here to encourage us all to keep our ancestors alive.

This is a time to remember what they sacrificed, how hard they worked, and maybe you have similar talents and likes that you didn't know about from a loved one? Share your stories. 

I share a sliver of a story of my great grandmother. ( My grandma's mom; on my dad's side). Its a fascinating story to say the least. 

Pick a word or words that describes what YOU need in a relationship. 

For me my word is TIME.

I want more time to recharge, more time with Aaron, more couple trips, more time for Family trips, and more time to take photos. 

I also am working on having more ORDER in my life to get things accomplished. 

What is your word? What do you need to build and strengthen your relationships? Think about it. 

Share your word with me. 

Rememeber that time when you needed that break in school and you asked your teacher for a permission slip to go to the library or even the bathroom?

Well, I am here to give you a "Permission Slip" to take a moment for yourself. To unwind, to stop and think and reconnect to who you are and who you want to become. 

This is a powerful podcast that I absolutley love myself. Dive in with me to all the ways we can give ourselves a "Permission Slip" and give ourselves time to reset and recharge. 

Have you ever thought how lonely many experienced individuals at the Assisted Living Homes are?

I had a Senior Photo Shoot a couple days ago and I had to PEE!! When I pulled up to the location, I was drawn to this house, but it looked like no one was home. 

I listened to my gut and went up to the house and knocked on the door. 

Who knew what was about to happen was going to be the best gift I could ever receive? 

Life is full of experiences but if we step back and remember the ones that have to be placed into assisted living homes, we could really make an impact in their lives. 

Words and Visuals possess a unique ability to communicate and influence human emotions. 

Have you ever thought about the importance of both? As we dive into celebrating Thanksgiving this week, ponder the importance of words and portraits. 

Communicate to your loved ones this week how much they mean to you. Capture the memories of being together. Listen to the laughter, and hold onto what you can pass down for generations to come. 

Let me know in the comments how this podcast impacted you. 

How much of our focus is on ourselves and not on others? I'm not saying focusing on yourself is bad, but when we become too self-absorbed into ourselves, success seems to slip.

I share how much I have learned in focusing my value on using what God has given me to bless others, and then success follows. 

Where does your Self Value lay? Come and hear some insights on growth and how our focus on others can build our own value in ourselves. 

Being surrounded with all things digital, everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, is at our fingertips. 

But what is worth investing in? You have a camera in your phone and can take selfies to your hearts content. We are all little photographers running around and taking millions of pictures. But where are those pictures going? 

Are you putting them in books and frames or are they staying in your phone? Is there a time where you feel the importance in investing in a photographer?

As a photographer for 21 years and being in business for 15 years, I have a huge love for professional photography. The images are different from a DSLR than a phone. 

But what are YOUR thoughts on photography? What does it mean to you? 

I was standing right next to her when she called my son a bully. 

Luke wasn't touching anyone, he was playing pretend; "Do you have your ticket" and the lady that owned the bouncy house didn't like it. 

What started as a heated debate and arguement turned into a calm lesson of humility. Life comes with so many lessons, but it is up to us if we are open to LEARN from them. 

Come and embark the experience that I encountered with my son and I went from wanting to cremate this lady's face to apologizing for my behavior.
