It saddens me to watch the kids get older and one by one leave the nest to explore adulthood. The breakfast table is reducing in size... the chatter is replaced by laptops and xbox. The one moment I have their complete attention is when I'm cooking... the aroma beckons them to step into my world to see all that is being mixed in the wok. They hover...and question "when is it going to be ready" I pretend to get annoyed at the hovering but deep down, I'm liking it - the attention - even if it's through food, I'll take it.

My niece has been covering her walls with photos and artwork. I love that. She is a girl after my own heart who has a deep appreciation of the importance of capturing life moments and more importantly, displaying these life moments for all to see. She called me a few weeks ago looking for an 'artsy' photo for a lonely 8x10 on her wall surrounded by photos of family and friends. She wanting something to tie all the photos together.

The past few weeks I've been submersed in rebuilding my website and working on my branding. Promise Tangeman's eCourse has been been simply amazing and filled with an abundance of information. There are so many layers to this process... not just about colors and pretty things... it's about me, discovering me and who I am at the core. I will say I am sooo excited to see things come together and every once in awhile, I pinch myself in disbelief that I am here... doing what I love most.
