Long time Family Friends...

I received a call a few weeks back asking if I could take some Family photo's for their Mom's BIRTHDAY... My Parents and their parents were friends even before we all were born...


Isn't FRIENDSHIP a wonderful thing!!!


Well they said that they hadn't had a picture done of the WHOLE family in years and some of the Grand kids were not even born yet... This is one of my FAVORITE things about photography - creating Memories that last a LIFETIME!!

I posted the Galley today - for the family to see!!! They were all VERY Happy!!

Here are a couple pics from the session... ENJOY!!! Have a BLESSED Evening... M

Making Habits - Working on ME!

The book I mentioned yesterday ( The Power of Less by Leo Babuta) - is hitting home for me!! I highly recommend this book!!

Again thanks Shell for sharing and thanks for my support TEAM..

This afternoon will be spent working on my Goals, New Habits and actually doing something to COMPLETION - so I will need your HELP... PLEASE!!

Is there something that you would like to form into a habit?? Take the challenge - the next 30 days concentrate on only this one thing - commit to it daily - and after 30 days you will have formed a HABIT!! I will be posting tomorrow - day one of my June GOAL!! I will have 3 new GOOD Habits by September!

Sometimes not so good things happen in your life - and even things that may of happened when you were young - can have a PROFOUND effect on your life forever!!! There does come a time that you have to take control - realize that only one person can ALLOW yourself to feel bad bout what happened or how others may make you feel.... that person is YOU!!!
June is going to be my BE KIND TO YOURSELF Month... Any takers?? XOXO

Personal Goals... Commitment to ME!!

It sure was nice to get away - spend time with GREAT Friends!!! Nashville was so much FUN!!

I have made a commitment to myself to get back on Track with my Weight Watchers - I went back for my Weigh in this morning - it wasn't as Painful as I thought it would be... Back on TRACK - went to the Gym and had my measurements taken - this will give me a starting POINT!!

My good Friend Michelle suggested a book to me - I purchased it from I TUNES last night and I am listening NOW!! I need to get MOTIVATED - and make some changes in my Daily routine and my LIFE!! It is: The Power of Less by Leo Babuta - it is AWESOME so far!!! Thank you for your Friendship and SUPPORT!!!

I will be working on My Goals over the weekend... If you don't have a GOAL you will never get there!!

One Goal for SURE is that I want to Lose 25 more Lbs by Labor Day - I have lost 20 so far!!

Here is my Before Picture - taken in Nashville by my GOOD Friend Beth

I will be posting my Journey!!!! XOXOX I am blessed with GREAT Friends and a SUPPORTIVE Family!!

The Rays were down 7-0 and came back to with with a BJ Upton HR in the 9th Inning... WOOHOO

Our friend Chris was in town to visit his brothers - so I arranged a outing at the Rays game.. We had a blast - missing Chris's Wife Tammie and the Boys that would of made the night just perfect... It was a mere 10 years ago that all of us were sitting in pretty much the same spot celebrating my 40th Birthday.. My Dad was there too that night.. FUN Memories!!!

Also, my Cousin's Karol and Paul along with my Aunt Jeanne made it to the game too!!
