I ache from head to toe from sweating over a grant for a mentoring program. Its not easy to write a grant about a program other than your own. I patched together information from 4 sources and unfortunately don' t feel like I left enough time to polish it properly. Hopefully the need will speak for itself.

I hope that I can help find money to keep children from joining gangs. Theatre groups, sports...yes. Blood no...

I want to do nostalgia today but my scanner is playing games with me so I will dig in the archives...

Wanna be here with my girls getting ready to take a ferry into the city to see a show! Its been to long. Check out www.myspace.com/bodiesfullof magic. They are gonna be in the city in June!

I can hear a banjo playing in the sound of the ceiling fan. A song we played long ago. Wish I could remember the name - it was a good time in my life and the song makes me smile.

April 19, 2009 I am hoping that this new place to share my photos, my thoughts, inspirations and visions will also become a place where I can expand my creativity by getting in the habit of writing. I need a place of catharsis and release where I can channel my energy in a positive way. Let go of the past and find a new path. I am comfortable communicating graphically and I love sharing my world through photography. I also love sharing the photographs that my father and other family members took. My great grandfather was a photographer. More about that in the days to come. TaDa - it begins... Arts links will return soon. Picture of the Day I took formal family pictures of these 2 but this was my favorite. Sisters!
