Welcome to my blog!

Hello!
I'm so glad you stopped by.
Yes, this is me. As much as I love being behind the camera, I am really uncomfortable in front of it. Isn't that silly? I think it's left-overs from my less secure, younger-than-40, days. These days, I understand who I am and I am grateful for that.
I hope that you find serendipity here.... that you find things that feed your soul, things that will make you want to stay and visit a while.
I am very happily married for 19 years + 3 {I like to add the +3 because they count, too, don't they?}. He and I are best friends, and we have 3 children who you will meet and get to know well here.
I have a master's degree in physical therapy and now teach fitness classes {it was the only way I knew to get my tush to the gym on a consistent basis}. True! It is through this past and this present that I have realized that I enjoy teaching, and helping others feel better. It has also taught me that balance is the key to everything in life, including fitness and good health.
My love of photography continues to grow. It feeds my desire to blog, which in turn, feeds my desire to shoot more. Sigh. This is the thing, isn't it?
Let me know where you are so that I can come visit you... Until then, be well!

Cloak of Grace

She wore her cloak of Ego

and was wrapped so tightly in it
I couldn’t see who she really was.

And he,
he was wrapped in stress and fatigue.

And I tried to forget
my own feelings of
insult and rejection

and remember my cloak
of Grace

of unconditional love
and acceptance
and forgiveness.

We all come from a place of brokenness,
trying to survive,
trying to find the light.
Let me always remember Grace.

She is clothed in strength and dignity. {Prov 31:25}

Love cloud shots, especially the kind from airplanes since I’ve never flown and have never taken in that view.

Wow, what great pictures Patty! Such inspiration on a dreary, rainy day here in good ole Morristown. You were missed in BP today. Michelle did the class, and it was great, but it took lots of people out of their comfort zone. Hahaha!
