In the beginning....


there is the notion of having this blank canvas upon which to write. Daunting and yet exciting. I've had lots of thoughts about how I might use this space for my own personal growth and to ignite a spark in a client. Hopefully, some will be useful.

My grandmother, Nana, will be 88 on Monday. She is amazingly beautiful and yet, does not think so. She has great hair - good body and gorgeous color. When she was young, her hair was the deepest, most beautiful auburn. I am remembering specific photos of her which I look at from time to time. Last weekend, we had photos taken of "the girls". The girls in question are no longer "girls" and yet, we are. We're all over 45 (I don't have to say how MUCH over, do I?). In the photos were me, my sister, Debbie, Nana, and two wonderful cousins, Jo Etta and Varga Lee - the daughters of Nana's sisters. Each of us is separated from Nana by one wonderful woman and we miss them all terribly. So, it was so great to get all of us together for this great photo shoot.

Ramie Babcock did the honors of capturing us and I cannot wait to see how they all turn out. She is SO creative and even more fun than creative. I met her recently through a mutual friend of ours - Tori Lococo, owner of My Trainer in League City. Amazing women, these two!

Well, this is my first attempt at blogging and I think I did ok for a first shot. I'll be curious to see the evolution over time.
