The Artistry of Autumn & September 2011's WINNER!

CONGRATS TO SEPTEMBER 2011'S WINNER!
AND THE WINNER IS... Jill Collette!
For leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, you win $20 toward your choice of print(s)! Super excited for you and thank you for leaving such a sweet comment! Enjoy picking out something you love!

Take a moment and imagine how it sounds and feels to walk on autumn-crisped leaves... heaps and mounds of them blanketing the sidewalks, being lifted and tossed about in the chilled wind, children jumping into huge raked mini-mountains of them... especially gorgeous when you witness a car driving along a tree hugged street and like a scene from a movie, the bilateral flurry of color captures your gaze.

The branches are barren. Everything turns crisp. The fallen leaves are drenched in the vibrantly rich hues of the changing of the season, released from the heat to be embraced by the cold. The colors are immense and brilliant. A sign of the whitewashed palette to follow.

Mother Nature never, ever, EVER ceases to amaze me. Whether being one-on-one in nature to the worldwide heartbreaking tragedies that connect us all, I am stilled by the immense power displayed, the thrilling discovery of and unbelievable imagination that created nature.

And I take pictures of it. And other stuff.
Just something else I enjoy, for others to enjoy as well.

If you would like to peek at more, I would be really honored! What simply began as a few photos, became a collection, and from that collection, became my online gallery.

And, if you find something you love from the images above or while viewing the entire collection on the site, please let me know and I would be more than happy to accommodate getting it to you, for adding a special touch to a space or for a unique gift!

To Think About ...

The common phrase, "We are what we eat," is SO very true. Just take a look around. Then look in the mirror at your body. What foods have made YOUR body what you see in that reflection?
***************************
If you only had 24 hours to live and 24 pieces of paper to use, what words would you write, and to whom would you?
***************************
It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.
{Mother Teresa}
***************************
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster.
{Og Mandino}
***************************
It is predicted that by the year 2020, 60% of all children in the USA will be overweight, many in the obese category. Sadly, the school system lunch meals are to blame for much of that pending issue.
Oh. My. Goodness.
***************************

"Each relationship between two persons is absolutely unique. That is why you cannot love two people the same. It simply is not possible. You love each person differently because of who they are and the uniqueness that they draw out of you. And the more you know another, the richer the colors of that relationship."
{William P. Young, The Shack}
***************************

"Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can't make more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time. It is not enough to just say relationships are important; we must prove it by investing time in them. Words alone are worthless. "My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action." Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is "T-I-M-E."
{Rick Warren}
***************************
Drinking half of your body weight in ounces of healthful fluids per day is a great rule of thumb to follow to keep you well hydrated. Every organ relies on proper hydration to function optimally and as your body is made up of 70% water, it needs consistent replenishment.
***************************
"At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by "I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in."
{Mother Teresa}
***************************
"Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail."
{Og Mandino}
***************************
"Don't ever discount the wonder of your tears. They can he healing waters and a stream of joy. Sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak."
{William P. Young, The Shack}
***************************

"I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness as it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge."
{Og Mandino}

A Little About Me

Having spent a combined 20 years in the health industry specializing in both Clinical Nutrition and Marketing, I am very experienced in working with people of vast medical issues, primarily with those in rehabilitative need, memory loss, specialized diet and weight challenges. Seeing the positive outcomes of those I assist as I guide them to empower themselves to enjoy a renewed and vibrant life with optimum health touches me deeply, as my ultimate goal has always been to pay it forward, to get so I can give, and in return, I am personally rewarded tenfold.
