This morning, I have another big doctor’s appointment at the cancer center in Chattanooga.  I’ve been nervous about it for days now, but yesterday was definitely the worst.  I kept sitting at my desk, staring at my computer screen, willing myself not to have a panic attack. I kept feeling anger rising up in me [...]

Allow me to prove my point about my cousin Marisa never taking a bad picture. (Click any image to view in full size.) Two things on my mind while looking through her preview photos: How in the world are we going to sort through over 1,000 of these? and I need to start planning Marisa’s [...]

Here are the facts: 1. How do you people with children do it?  And work jobs?  And be normal people? 2. Maybe I need to appreciate my singleness more than I have been. 3. All morning, I couldn’t concentrate on work because I was worried the girls we’re liking gymnastics class.  I needn’t have worried; [...]

And here is what I did. Worked ’til 5 p.m.  Drove to Knoxville.  Got lost on my way to photograph a baby.  Took a detour and found the place where the family was waiting.  Saw the baby’s mother, a girl who was my hero in high school.  Of course, she didn’t know it; I just [...]

My landlord called me yesterday to let me know that she had finally rented the house next to mine.  The good news is that the new renter is a single guy.  The bad news is that he’s 40, sings gospel music for a living and wants to plant a garden in my backyard. I posted [...]

When I got back from vacation, I pulled your comments from my Friday night post about God as my husband and copied them into a Word file so I could print them off and read through them.  It ended up being 35 pages long.  In 12 pt font.  Single spaced. What I’m trying to say [...]

It is Wednesday morning. I’m about to enjoy a delicious blueberry Pop-Tart. I slept with rollers in my hair last night to see what would happen. The results were disastrous.  I look like a poodle. However, my hair is kind of big.  Which means God and I will be tight today. The higher the hair, [...]

Aviean loves to come to work with me. Especially if I’m managing an event that requires the use of golf carts. When I look at these pictures, I think about how one day I’ll blink and she’ll be 16 with a driver’s license. Can anyone tell me how to make time stand still?  Please?

It’s Monday morning, but you wouldn’t believe the last 48 hours of my life.  I’ve gone from vacation to shooting a wedding to driving to North Carolina then onto Tennessee and it didn’t stop there.   After seeing my dad yesterday morning, I spent the whole day with a few of my college girls and then, [...]

After writing last night’s post, I got the most fascinating email in response from a woman I don’t know in real life.  I receive hundreds of emails a month, but this one really caught my attention because it dealt with a view of singleness that I think is really interesting. The email was very sweet [...]
