Well, the work project that we started a few weeks ago took a very different path today. Again, I won’t go into details and compromise our patient’s privacy, but I’m sure you can guess from the photo that this story is a tough one. Unlike our last photo session, this is not the story of…

Sisters, Soap, Sunflowers
Last day of a work road trip brought us back to the countryside for another visit with the Benedictines. Today we visited the convent, or as I like to think of it, home of the Holy Water soap. (Not the official name of their business, but the Sisters do add Holy Water to each batch.)…
Conception, Missouri
A small detour during a work road trip took me to a beautiful Benedictine monastery in the Northwest corner of the state. I’ve been here a few times before, but there’s something new to photograph every time. There’s a wonderful collection of Madonnas, the Basilica, small grottos on the grounds…it’s a peaceful, holy place. Given…
Hidden
“Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are hidden in the most unlikely places.” – Roald Dahl I saw this quote on twitter today and it reminded me of this super fun little find in my blueberries a few days ago. I keep looking at this photo because…
Past…Present…Future
After spending part of the afternoon catching up with a long-time colleague and friend (one of her sweet kitties pictured above), I came home and noticed a letter addressed to my younger son in our pile of mail. His elementary school was scrawled as the return address in the obvious penmanship of a child. I…
Beauty is in the journey…
…not in the destination, as this video proves in the most ridiculously gorgeous way. Ah-mazing.
What a gift…
As part of a photo project for work, today I got to spend some time with a lovely elderly patient of ours. The objective of the project is to provide our patients’ families with large, framed photos of their loved one’s hands. To some, I guess this might sound strange. Not everyone has attractive hands….
Your smile made me happy.
After another full day of training today, I decided to forgo my run and just wander around the lake with my camera. I snagged a sandwich to go, sat on the pier and took it all in. Even as the sun was making its way down, there was still a lot of activity on the…
I Spy…
For months, my various running routes have all had one particular corner in common. And for all these months I have failed to notice this empty bench sitting away from the curb, slightly hidden by unruly hedges and overgrown weeds. I saw it tonight and it stopped me in my tracks. It was like a…
Neighborhood “Library”
I tried a new running route tonight and passed by this strange little contraption. From a distance, I thought it was a short, over-the-top birdhouse. But as I moved closer, I realized it was something different. A library…? I was totally intrigued. At first I thought it was just a really sweet gesture by a…
Discovery
After eight years at my current job, I start a new chapter in my career on Monday. I’m still with the same “parent company,” but it’s a new job with a new desk, new parking space, new building, new faces. It’s all very exciting and a little daunting at the same time. I realized today…
Message Received
As rain dripped down my office window this morning, I noticed this guy staring woefully at me from my bulletin board. Grumpy, I sighed. Oh, dude. I’m so with you. Then I noticed a study in contrasts directly above him. Oh, Buddha-dude. You make me laugh in spite of myself. Then I looked more closely at my droopy…
Happy Friday!
This took my breath away. (and yes, the baby turtle made me cry.) On that note…happy Friday, happy every day. video via momentmatters
