this is a song (no video anywhere to go with it…anywhere!) that i keep playing over and over.
i just love it.
breathing in and out is a blessing can't you see…
today's the first day of the rest of my life…
i'm alive and well.
and today you know that's good enough for me.
i'm alive and well.
Cheap Jordans - IT IS hard to look at the Capitol in Washington, DC, without a frisson of excitement
Mikaela - I am a mom of 2 from WI and stumbled upon your blog from The Macs. I love all your pictures! You’re work is amazing. I am not sure if this is proper to be asking or not but wondered if you sell your pictures? If it’s not appropriate, just disregard my question, I totally understand. But if your game…what I am looking for is picture to go with the saying “Skip to my Lou”. I make barettes and wanted to make a sign to accompany them where I sell them or for a business card. I am a pastor’s wife and just do this on the side. It’s really not a big endeavor, just something small to try to help my sister’s family out….they are in the process of adopting a little girl from China.
I love the last picture of the girl standing on the bench with the sunflowers in the background. I would just want the picture from under her armpit down. Could you crop it down or could I? Let me know your thoughts. Please be honest with me and sorry if this is way out of line to be asking. Honestly, it’s taken me months to even muster up the courage to ask you this question because I just wasn’t sure if it was appropriate. Either way, know I love your work. You can e-mail me back at besureofHim@hotmail.com
