Photographs and philosophies about marriage, motherhood and life
The world tells you to keep writing new chapters in life…
…sometimes
it’s ok to sit back and re-read the chapters
you have already written.

There comes a point in life where you look around yourself and take stock. You realize you have come to a point where what you have is what you have… and what you are going to have until you pass on.
At this point you are either satisfied with what you have achieved, or saddened by what your life has amounted to.
If you are satisfied you will be happy in your final years, reflecting back on a full life.
If you are unsatisfied you will become bitter and angry, and blame the world for your personal failures.
So how do you make certain that you are satisfied?
Measure your life in love and laughter,
Not money and things.

More than just a braid,
the delicate, intertwined strands
that represent the love
of a mother
for her daughter
❦
All of her hopes and dreams
meticulously woven
into a beautiful,
intricate
and strong bond
they will share for all eternity.

I was yelled at, swore at and called profane names by a complete stranger the other day.
Why? …
Because I stopped to make sure that all of the children that got off of a school bus had safely crossed the street.
I was dumbfounded.
On so many levels this behaviour baffles me.
Was this man in such a hurry that those extra 20 seconds were going to change his life?
Is he so important that the death of a nation rests upon his shoulders?
Is he that entitled that he feels no one else has the right to be on the same road as him?
How does someone become such an angry individual?
What man yells profanities and calls a woman names like that?
What man treats another man’s wife that way?
What man yells at a child’s mother like that?
It is in the news more and more. Men punching women in the face, men physically and verbally abusing women.
What is happening?
❦
Men are supposed to honour and uphold women, and women are supposed to honour and respect men.
❦
If you know a man like this, I would ask you to help him. Help him find his way back from the violence and hatred, even if that requires calling the police and reporting him.
I did.
I pray he finds the help he needs to live a happier life.

Raising a son is like
Rocks
&
Roses.
Teach him to be strong and firm, to provide a solid foundation for those who love and need him.
The Rocks
Teach him to be full of gentleness and kindness, and not fear beauty, to be brave enough to open up his heart.
The Rose
These sons will become the fathers and husbands our world needs.
❦
The prodigal sons who will go out and find their way in life,
The Rocks
Then, they will return home to their families… stronger, wiser and full of love.
The Rose

If you are constantly focused on what is coming next,
you deny yourself the opportunity to enjoy what you have
accomplished right now.
