If you ask my students, I am always writing, or living a moment that will become a part of a story. If you ask their parents, I am a teacher. If you ask my family, my name is mom.

I thought I was tired. Haha just kidding. I ran before installing an update so my app cued three minutes as three miles. It really was only a six mile run. 🤔That feeling when you realize why your characters seem to solve their problems at the small town cafe. 🤣 You know the universe is sending a message when you try to turn off the DVD because you’re too tired, and it pauses at Tony Horton telling you to get your sorry butt back in front of the t.v. You know an actor is good when you want to kick him. Yes, this is that horrible, brilliant villain, Iago. Shakespeare in the park: Othello. It happens. I see someone I admire and want to say: I wish I could be like you, you are my hero, or something that would make Maya Angelou nod and say, “I couldn’t have said it any better.” Instead I get tongue tied and something like “Do you want a piece of gum?” 🤦🏽‍♀️comes out. Now my pictures. Every once in a while, I capture what I see in them...what it is about them that provokes the admiration and subsequent loss of words. Sure it is cool that they save lives and homes. The determination fueled by love of mankind, community, and the world in which we live defines them as heroes. I captured two in this picture. Thankfully our world is full of men and women who are just like them. To the random firefighter, police officer, military personnel (active and retired) thank you. I know I speak for many when I say we appreciate you. If you ever need a piece of gum and an awkward smile to remind you of our admiration, I have three flavors in my bag. 😉
