30 Day Photo Challenge: From a Low Angle

MY FLAG IS PROUDLY FLYING IN REMEMBRANCE OF 911

"As the soot and dirt and ash rained down, We became one color. As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building, we became one class. As we lit candles of waiting and hope, we became one generation. As the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the inferno, we became one gender. As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength, we became one faith. As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement, we spoke one language. As we gave our blood in lines a mile long, we became one body. As we mourned together the great loss, we became one family. As we cried tears of grief and loss, we became one soul. As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes, we become one people". ~Cheryl Sawyer

30 Day Photo Challenge: Something Pink

Today we celebrate our 28th Season at The Studio Atlanta Dance and this week, I have the pleasure of witnessing our youngest dancers take their very FIRST dance steps, in their little PINK outfits and wiggly bodies!   It truly IS one of the BEST parts of my job!

God respects us when we work,
but he loves us when we dance.

~ Les Blanc (also attributed as a Sufi saying)

30 Day Photo Challenge: Technology

THIS is the Fordonski "Control Panel" ...we have the computer, the Ipad, the Itouch, the cell phone and why don't we watch a little TV at the same time. Pete's cell phone is the next to the bed and the lap top is in the family room. There's routers, printers, stereos, TV's, boom boxes, ipod docks and boxes of chords, adapters and more. One Word: Ridiculous!

"It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity" ~Albert Einstein

30 Day Photo Challenge: Something You Want To Change

I LONGED to change the color of my front door. And I did this morning. They say a red door is symbolic of many things. Luck, Good Fortune, energy and Faith. The Scottish say this is a sign that the mortgage has been paid. Wouldn't this be wonderful! 

"The Door to Happiness opens OUTWARD"

30 Day Photo Challenge: Something You Have Too Much Of

That would be Lotions and Creams for me....and this is a fraction of what I actually own. KERI is just TOO VERY in this household. I love this quote on beauty 

"The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years". ~Audrey Hepburn

30 Day Photo Challenge: Someone You Love

My sweet, funny, smart, sensitive, creative, athletic, wonderful daughter Charlotte. 

"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new".-- Rajneesh

30 Day Photo Challenge : Something Green

I found this leaf on my front deck, on the summer table cloth and noticed how hard it was trying to hold on to it's summer green before turning a golden Fall color. 

"How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days". ~John Burroughs
