Trash The Dress Photo Shoots

Turning a new leaf........my life begins NOW!

Hi to all that are reading. My blog spot is now going to be a website used for my photography, just until I get a hold on things with my new site. I have never made a website before so it may take some time. I look forward to taking this new step and can't wait for the journey ahead of me. Keep a lookout for all my new pictures to come. My photography is in beginner mode so bear with me. But each and everyday I do my best to succeed and learn more and new things. Stay tuned.....and contact me for a photo shoot. I would love to any and all pictures for you.

*my lovelies*

  I've been sitting here thinking a lot about all of my girls out there! I never give the credit that they are due, so I wanted to take a minute and tell them how much I love them!

  To all my ladies out there- YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! For all the things you do, have done. and will do- it means so much to me. To have you by my side through everything, supporting me, loving me and caring for me; you will never understand how much it means to me. I love each and every one of you for that.

  You all never get the credit you deserve, so I am giving it to you now. The little things you do, or the big things, should never go unnoticed. Each of you have done something in my life in some way or another, and I am thankful for that and You!! Never believe that you mean to me any less than what you do.

  I love you all! I love you for who you are, and nothing less. Always remember that! :)

The Real Mother's Day!

Here it is again, Mothers Day. One of the most dreadful days of the year for me. Every year it's the same old story. Most of you know about this day for me, but some of you may not. I'm not going to go into detail about the situation, but a quick run through to catch everyone up to speed. My mother wasn't always around, and most of the time I never knew where she was or what she was doing. She cared more about other things, rather than me. Long story short, she is now in prison for a very long time. Those that are close to me knows why, but that is another story for another time. So, lets just say that I have hard feelings towards her. Now it's that time of year again that brings me down. You would think that Mothers Day would be different for me, with my two little ones of my own now. The day is bad enough now, could you imagine what it was like for me before I had kids? They are the only reason I don't hibernate the whole day. I remember in church every single year, our pastor would tell us kids to go sit with our mothers. And I would feel so ashamed, but I chose to sit with my aunt! After all she was more of a mother to me than my actual mother was. I can not express the anger or resentment clearly enough for anyone to understand how terrible I feel about this holiday. I wish that there was someone that could read my heart to understand exactly how it feels. I was raised by my grandmother that was the best mother that ever could have been. I am grateful to God that He put me into her arms. Without her, I wouldn't know what a true mom was supposed to be like. And maybe that is why I am so resentful towards my real mom, because she wasn't the mother she was supposed to be. Whatever the reason is, it was always her fault. If any of you wonder why I am distant lately, or if I seem like I am irritable; that is why. My heart breaks over and over again as the years go by. But there is one day out of the year that saddens me the most.

What to do?

I know I am not the best writer, and I didn't take any college courses in writing or journalism. My ultimate goal is to write a book. After reading The Twilight Saga, it gave me a passion to read more about stories like that. I know of a few that is out there, but none have caught my attention. I wanted to write my own, but I am lost! Coming up with characters, the plot, the story line is mind puzzling! It is a dream of mine, that I hope to do some day. I am hoping that blogging will help strengthen my imagination. How is it, that I want to write a book but I have nothing to write about! I don't get it, but I look forward to doing it, and any thoughts that anyone has feel free to give me a shout!
