Faery Child

This is my little friend McKenna I mentioned ... made of magic and faery dust.  Her mommy might disagree since she went through the whole birthing process but somehow it's hard to believe she didn't just magically appear on this planet to remind us of the wonder of it all.  On the way home from Escondido, in the car,  she sang Jason Mraz "I'm Yours" in her sweet little voice, with perfect pitch and looked me in the eyes and grinned. I almost burst into tears. Magic.

Learn to listen to silence.

Listen to the world around you.

And the silence will sing you a beautiful song.

Every child is an artist.

The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

Become as little children.

Back from San Diego!

I have been absent from my computer because I was off to San Diego for an amazing, extra long weekend! I visited with friends, ate ridiculous amounts of food, took pictures (of course!), and made jewelry with my hilarious and sweet friend Erin who I met in my very first acting class ever. We did a scene from the Importance of Being Earnest in full costume and became friends for life.

There was also a good amount of party dress hunting for my friend Kristen. She is having one of those landmark birthdays when it hits you how fast time has gone and you realize that magnifying mirrors are evil.

These picture were taken in Escondido after a Charger party.  Apparently they kicked some booty but I was busy sticking my head in the guacamole bowl and taking pictures of my friend's daughter McKenna.  I am convinced she is made up of faery dust and magic.  I will definitely be posting a couple of those.

Just to be is a blessing.

Just to live is holy.
