This week for Beyond the Layers we were asked to come up with a six word memoirs, Kim’s inspiration for this was found on Smith Mag. I have written a few:
daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend forever
living, loving, laughing, singing, dancing, capturing
And then I used this one processed with simplicity texture……

Kim thank you for sharing your way of processing with a texture not only are your textures amazing, but your willing to share and teach really I have no words…… I would love to have a white room one day you laugh if I told you how I get my white backdrops:)
Next for this week we had to capture for one single word…..
My word is Imagine I captured this one with my Lensbaby. I had actually captured this image right before I read the email and thought it was perfect to go along with your words vision & blur. This image was processed with the plaster squared texture……..


Week 4……
This week I went back to my childhood…… My son pulled out the Care Bear books and I was inspired. A lot can be learned from children’s books. The Care Bears teach great lessons on caring and all around just being nice. I mean seriously they live in Care-a-lot what a great place. Living up in the clouds with hearts, stars and rainbows!!!!! And can you believe it everyone is different and that is what makes them special. Each special trait is worn proudly on their tummy instead of hiding on the inside….. just imagine if we could live in world were being different was embraced instead of discouraged. I feel it very important for my son to learn to express his feelings. I feel to many people these days would just rather go on being angry and hurt and never express it. I know for me if I am truly hurt and angered I need to let it out or it just festers and makes me a very negative being. I need to surround myself with positivity, I have a hard time being around negative energy. I want my son to know even grumpy feelinsg are ok as long as we feel them and deal with them with a heart smile. If just everyone in the world was a bit more Tenderhearted, Shared Good thoughts, had more Fun and Friends, helped spread Cheer, and Loved- a-Lot, maybe more Wishes would come true…….. If we all just cared a bit more!!!!!
One of the questions in the book was What Makes YOU Happy? If everyone thrived for more happiness and a less drama and negativity our world might just be a better place………..


One thing that makes me happy is expressing and sharing my feeling through my photography. Help me spread this message start by expressing yourself the way it makes you happy. Spread a little cheer share a smile with someone today and everyday. Make and keep friendships. Enjoy today and just CARE!!!!!!
Week 3…….
This week I have realized that life without my husband would be very different. I found inspiration from a song I have worn out lately……. 05 Without You (Feat. Usher) The words that really got me in this song are ” I will never be the same” This is absolute after being together going on 12 years, which 8 of those years are marriage. When you spend that much of your life together there is no way you could ever be the same without…… ” I won’t run, I won’t fly, I won’t ever make it by without you” Although we have had plenty of time apart if I have my choice my choice is to not be without……. ”I won’t soar, I won’t climb, if your not here I’m paralyzed without you” He builds me up as much as I am here for him, he is there for me I always know as long as I have him everything will be okay. As cheesy as it may sound I would be incomplete without….. To always have that shoulder to cry on, to always have that friend to lean on, to always know I will not be without….. makes my heart beat faster:)

If I had to choose again I’d choose…….
“YOU”
