Wake up each day, and unveil your mask. Be true to yourself with each new task. We can’t be anyone else, we are, simply, who we are, and the journey of life was never promised to be very far. (bwphotocontest

These are my entries for the @jasonrussell Portrait Photography Contest This week’s theme is ‘smile’, and I was pumped to show you one of my favorite smiles. She had JUST gotten her braces off, and she

And so I drive. I drive because I am feeling lost. I drive because it feels good to get away. I drive because, even though I’m down, I can be healed by the beauty in this day. I drive farther, turn after

I captured this beauty yesterday! I love Woodpeckers. (Even though one of them put a small hole in my siding. 🙄) They are just such pretty birds! I’ve been trying to get some photos of Woodpeckers, Red

@papa-pepper is giving away a camera?!?! Yes, it’s true! The camera he is giving away is identical to my own camera. I obviously do not need it, so I have asked if by chance my name is drawn, he sends

Frigid temps. Snow on the ground. Icy roads. Cancelled school. Husband home on vacation. Yeah. It has been a pretty great week. Here is a Marshmello/Khalid cover that we recorded last night. We aren’t

While my daughter and I were grocery shopping, We saw an Aldi worker changing some prices. There were a few other customers surrounding the lady, so of course, we went to see what was up. That’s when we

I absolutely adore singing with my daughter, @okylxx. In fact, there is no one on this earth that I would rather sing with. Last night, at the last minute, I asked her to participate in Open Mic with me.

I haven’t been as active in Steemit lately, and that needs to change. I have participated in Open Mic, and I have been curating, but I haven’t been participating in contests or posting as often as I would

I really enjoy Caitlin Rose. She has some pretty great songs! This one just happens to be one of my favorites. Luckily, I recorded this earlier in the week! If I hadn’t, I would have nothing to submit

This is my entry for the contest created by @anomadsoul. I’ve enjoyed reading the entries, and it made me stop to think about my own year. Life is certainly up and down, and sometimes the downs are necessary

I’m not even sure how many times I have played this song, or just listened to it, and cried. Lol! It really gets to me. One would think I would just stay away from it, but there is something to be said

Oh, how I love this song! I love singing it, along with Patty Griffin, in the car... when no other cars are next to me. Hahaha! Do you know that scene? Giving a song your all, at the top of your lungs,

This is a silly song, but I just couldn’t resist. I mean... it is the week of Thanksgiving. Hopefully, you are all familiar with Adam Sandler. If not, it may seem even sillier, I guess. I did find that

Well, hello there, Steemit! It has been a minute. My whirlwind life has recently gotten a little crazier, as I have taken on a zillion new things. Okay. Okay. Only two. I’ve taken on two new things. :)

I am trying my best to win a Steemit coin. There are a few contests going right now, and I’m trying to be a winner! This hand needs a Steemit coin! I’ve collected coins for years! I’m thinking I was about

Here is my entry for Open Mic Week 56. I was trying to wait for my cold to pass, but I’m starting to think it may be here to stay for a while. So, I decided to drop the capo, and participate anyway. I

Okay. So, I’m not sure if I have said it before, but I feel like I have. I’ll say it again... I’m 35. In fact, soon, I will be 36. As far as aging goes, I haven’t fought it too much. I am refusing to be

My world is a constant battle, inside of my own brain. I find love, joy, and happiness, yet so much fear, darkness, and immense pain. It pulls. It drags me, from side to side. It makes me feel crazy. Why

I look forward to Friday. Friday, for me, means that I am getting a little break from my job. My job IS my family, and it is the hardest job I have ever had. I mean... I’ve hauled hay. This is harder.
