hi i'm amelia.
welome!
this is my little spot. my escape. my solace. my sanity & creative outlet. this is where i come to unwind. here is where i dream and spill my soul sometimes.
i have always loved art and all that goes along with it. it makes me giddy. i love looking through a camera lens and seeing the world in a whole different way. i love to doodle. anyone who knows me understands that if i am on the phone and there is a piece of paper or napkin and a great fine tip pen (or any writing tool for that matter) i will record everything i hear and think about. and most annoyingly, when i get excited about something, there's no shut eye!
i love music and love it loud! my husband sam and i are night owls and spend many late nights in our shared office working away on our computers while jamming to music as he writes code and i edit photos or play with graphic design. i think we're pretty fun together :) oh yes, sam makes a pretty mean breakfast sandwich at midnight. come on over!
fresh flowers, straight from the vine homegrown tomatoes, chocolate cake, basil, lemons & pilates are a few of my favorites. i enjoy the simple stuff, like the smell of a newborn baby, summer rain on the rooftop, little tiny giggles and rosy cheeks, the sound and smell of the furnace on a cold snowy day, old & new friendships, the crackling sounds of a fire, lots and lots of hugs & kisses, ahh - love it all!
i have lived with rheumatoid arthritis for the last 9+ years and have to consciously make the decision each day to not let it get me down. it's crappy, but it sure has made me really appreciate my health. i enjoy my "feel good days" in a whole new light.
have you heard enough yet? gees! with that said, i'll get to the point!welome!

as a busy mother, wife, friend, daughter, etc., i loose my luster! we all do.
with three daughters & one new baby boy, i want to make the daily decision to be the best mom i can be. i believe the best way for me to do that, is to dig, search, learn, actively "do" and pray for help each day.
i wanted to start this blog really for myself, so i could "tune in" each day, find something uplifting and bright and take a minute to reflect on what really matters. i believe we can all use daily boosts & reminders to help us be better. i thought i'd share these things with you. hopefully this can be a venue where you can arrive and be edified, uplifted, engaged, refreshed and of course, laugh too!
i think about the greatness of short simplicity.
we're so busy! admittedly, we love to jump on-line and see what's happening out there, so i wanted to create a spot where anyone can visit and not have to spend a lot of time.
i don't usually have the duration to read long entries. i enjoy express stopovers and then back to my day.
i aspire to make this worthwhile as i share some brightsides, ideas, tips, pretty things, silly things, and even a little spiritual enlightenment to make your day, along with mine, a little more luminous!
i hope you enjoy.
*note to readers: i really should take a writing class. please bear with me, it's been a while since college. for whatever reason, i love run on sentences.
and, i love your comments! don't forget to leave your link if you have one so i can follow you too!
