Living a dream

In the last seven days, I have lived a dream.  I was asked to do a session with a photographer whose talent humbles me and whose vision leaves me speechless.  It was a shoot of a lifetime for me and a total confidence builder that I was even asked to be a part of his vision.  Then a week later, I find myself modeling for the local newspaper's Holiday Fashion Guide.  I showed up and discovered I will be the only model in the glossy pull out that will be distrbuted to the entire Austin American Stateman circulation. 

The lesson I have taken from the past seven days is to use your connections, work for what you want, do not be afraid to ask for what you want and be thankful. 

The first shoot woke somethng up inside of me that has been dormat for far too long.  Those moments brought a heightened sense of life and they continue to electrify me.  I have renewed sense of being, sense of self and purpose.  I am not expecting to appear in any Covergirl ads anytime soon but to have soemthing all my own again feels good.  I am 36 and have had 2 kids if people want to pay me to take my picture I have two words for them: line up!

Open letter to PSU

My heart is heavy with sadness for the victims of the Penn State scandal and the innocent fans who cheer for their university.


Everyone involved from the players who had even a single thought that something was off, to the coaches who knew their fellow coach was a pervert, to the administration and school officers who either looked the other way or did not bother to look at all….. You should all be ashamed, fired and arrested.
