Welcome, 2020. As usual, I have seemed pretty absent from my blog — I wonder if anyone will even check this?

It is important for me to continue my blog in the new year because it was created out of love and a passion for photography. I was recently gifted with a new iMac, and it will be perfect to help me continue this website … hopefully posting more each week.

Saying goodbye to 2019 was filled with mixed emotions. I had to say a final farewell to my cat Jimmy Dean. Following a mini stroke, JD struggled through the last few months of his life. Anyone who has visited this blog since its inception, would know JD was the inspiration for many of my posts and was always present in different holiday, crafts and “just because” entries. He was a very important part of my life. I still struggle to realize he is gone from this world. No other soul will be as special or unique as his.

As I begin 2020, I have many goals (as we all do). But it really is to say committed to my blog and photography. Time never stops, and photos are my way of visiting precious memories from the past.

I hope you will still join me.

All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
