We are missing one child in this shoot, because…..she’s grounded for life. She was doing large amounts of missed homework during this time. But, D takes amazing photos and I had to share some of the babies with you!!

Once, I was a girl who knew no bounds. I ravished through the hearts of lions, picking the torment out of my teeth with satisfaction. An unbreakable soul, an untouchable heart hidden deep behind a sea of green. The gates that bound my heart were immaculate, well maintained, formidable. I was a fortress.
I lavished in my solidarity, fighting for it, thriving on it.
My young were set up on a pedestal, where they were worshipped like the Gods and Goddesses. Protected by me like a tiger protecting her cubs. It was us against Them, and we were winning. Winning what? The War, of course. Against fear, failure, pain, and agony. We climbed to the highest parts of the world, secluding ourselves indefinitely. They kept trying to come, trying to penetrate our fortress….but, they failed, they fell and we rose even higher. We sang our war cries and danced to our song, loving the moments of our success. Nothing could tear us apart. Nothing could break us down.
Then we saw it, a glimmer of hope. She came from our blind side knowing how to get passed our barriers. I was raped of my caution, seduced by desires….thrown from my position. We gave up the pedestal to her, a throne of her own. They cowered in her presence seeking approval and acceptance. I yearned for her fire, her life, her breath. Slowly, the chains binding my heart began to wither, rusting from negligence. Fears forgotten and filled with something bigger….something brighter….something stronger. My soul was reborn with the glow of an Angel’s enlightenment. There was a new kind of warrior in town.
We followed her anywhere.
Softened by comfort, we have forgotten how to survive. Smothered by love, we have forgotten how to live without it. Tricked by unity, we have been betrayed…..
But, we will rise again to the highest ends of the world. We will fight through the pain that has been inflicted.
I have learned a lesson and I’ve learned it well. The ache in my heart will soon dull….it will fade…it will serve as a reminder that there is only us.

Is it important to love the job you’re doing? Or is it more important to make money, just enough to get by? Our economy makes this decision for most of us, but, what matters deep down?
For me, I want to love my job. I want to create things, beautiful things and get paid for it. All things aside I would love to paint pictures, do photography, write novels, or even just raising children which is the most beautiful fulfilling creation of them all. There’s a some what whimsical romanticism to art in all of its various forms. The beauty in it is astounding.
My head is filled with these wonderous desires…..and then I see the grocery list, the bill for daycare, and realize rents due. Reality crushes me without guilt and it hits hard most times.
Then I go on living like we all do, trying to be content in the mundane life.
