Most people list a special restaurant or a cute little café. Though there are many of those that I adore, I think my favorite lunch place is in a natural setting.

This week, I was cleaning up my computer files and ran across a video that I made when teaming-up with a philanthropy devoted to helping teens overcome serious struggles with self-esteem. I was asked to answer the question, “What is beautiful?” Out of concern for those who struggle with identity issues, and those who love them, I’ve decided to post …
Gotta love a grandma with so much attitude that she’s been kicked out of several rest homes. How many partially-paralyzed 91-year-olds would figure out how to sneak past her motion detector?! She reasons that life is too short to be hindered by a little thing like that. This picture was taken before her stoke. Well, Grandma was recently forced to …

It was a gorgeous, sunny day when my friend, Kylee, and I decided to drive to a nearby dock to take pictures. But once we were underway, heavy rainclouds converged upon us and unloaded their bounty. In a bizarre twist of fate, they left the moment we arrived. We were dry for the entire ten minutes that we snapped these …
This was by far the toughest video I have filmed. Even minutes beforehand, I didn’t know if I’d have the courage to make it, and as you will see, I had a very hard time just getting through it. I grew up with severe dyslexia and dysgraphia, which is something I’ve tried to hide most of my life. But in …
