Happy Birthday to my belated Angel, Buddy. Love me, Grandma, and Brie

we love and miss our Buddy...

he'd be 14....still feels like he should still be with us....I can't believe it's been six years

forever in our hearts

reminiscing the good ole days, when we used to bike the glacial-drumlin trail with our beloved Buddy

please keep your fingers and toes crossed for me......(I bought raffle tickets)

I NEED to win this!  my girls have both outgrown the trailer and I lost my seat on the bike train....it's REALLY hard going back to a standard bike:D


Buddy used to ride with us....before kids....that was his trailer :D

Happy Mother's Day!!!

mommy's day gift from my Buddy; 2001

in the depth of winter i learned lay within me an invincible summer...

these very words are my heart and soul ....
So grateful for my island cowgirl bangle that I wear and cherish daily to remind me of how far I've come....

and on this beautiful winter day, the five year anniversary of Buddy's transition, which was probably the hardest day of my life...and which also represents so much else for me....

I wear these words on my wrist and in my heart and soul with absolute Love and Gratitude

we love you Buddy.....

I can't believe it's been five years....and you STILL should be with us...we feel your Loving Presence every day!

Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Buddy

I can't believe it's been 4.5 years already....you left us so young, that you should still be with us.  I'm grateful for the time we had with you, and am even more grateful for your continuous presence in spirit.....I feel you, always! 

We love you Buddy!!!!!! 

Sparkle and Create (and always trust;)

So I've seen a common theme as of late where people kind of "adopt" their meaningful word of the year, at the start of the year. I too have experienced this. Last year my big word was "create." I had no idea what was in store for me; I just had these dried up creative juices just ready to burst! Well, a year ago, I attempted to make myself a bracelet. I had never done that sort of thing before, so I was quite surprised when it actually turned out, kind of pretty too;). And, true to being me, I posted a picture of my bracelet, thinking nothing else of it. Well, I think the Creative gods had a plan, because people immediately asked me to make bracelets (I was kind of scared at first;)...and in one year I have now sold around 200, and i've recently started metal stamping to really personalize!! I'm very grateful to everybody! I can't begin to express just how healing "Create" has been!!!! So, what is my word this year? "Sparkle;)". (And ""trust" is an underlying theme word, every year, that keeps evolving;)
