Hi guys!<br />
<br />
I wrote an article the other day that was published on two different websites!<br />
<br />
It's all about Max and language and respect.<br />
<br />
I think you'll like it.<br />
<br />
Go check it out <a href="http://www.allthingshealing.com/Family-Parenting/Spread-the-Word/10026" target="_blank">HERE</a> and <a href="http://www.awakeparent.com/catherine/guest-post-spread-word/" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />
<br />
Also -I'm on the <a href="http://www.catherinejust.com/" target="_blank">new website</a> most of the time now. The blog there is more about photography and inspiration. I'm not certain the fate of this blog yet. But I would LOVE for you to head over <a href="http://www.catherinejust.com/" target="_blank">there</a> and continue to be a part of my tribe. I am honored to read this blog at all and would be thrilled if you jumped over there as well.<br />
<br />
Much love and happy year endings!<br />

<br />
We've been HUGE fans of <a href="http://www.talktools.com/" target="_blank">Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson</a> ever since we heard her speak at a Down syndrome conference when Max was about 8 months old. We had a speech therapist named Amy Johnson in Los Angeles who studied her Oral Motor techniques and incorporated them in with the rest of what she did. We actually got on the waiting list when Max was just 8 months old because we had heard that Amy was the best in LA. By the time Max was ready for Speech therapy - the therapist was available! Seriously she was THAT busy! We loved how she worked with Max. Max loved her - and she told us as we were moving that Max showed promise of talking very soon. Then we moved...<br />
<br />
When we moved to Utah - we searched high and low to find a Speech therapist who incorporates Oral Motor Therapy into the mix. No such luck. It was actually heart breaking to me. Speech is so important - not just that Max can talk, but that he can be understood. We want to give him every opportunity to have articulate speech. Oral Motor Therapy provides the way. I've seen it. I've HEARD it. I am 100% behind it. But - no one does it here in UTAH. So - we found out that we could go to a travel evaluation by someone trained by Sara Rosenfeld Johnson. We picked San Diego so we could see family.<br />
We videotaped the 2 hour session. It was......AWESOME!!!<br />
<br />
I will download the entire video and put it on youtube so you can see it for yourself. We plan to see her every 6 months. She is going to send us the evaluation and you better believe I'm having the Speech therapist here in Utah watch the video and read the eval. I think it's the BEST money we've spent on any therapy to date. YES - WE LOVE Michael Workman, Max's PT. But Max doesn't really NEED a PT the way he NEEDS Oral Motor Therapy. I would highly recommend both of these therapists to anyone in search of Speech or PT. However - The Speech was so fine tuned, specific, intuitive, educated, insightful in a way we hadn't seen yet. And that is powerful. <br />
<br />
After the session we decided to stay and visit friends in San Diego and Los Angeles and I took GOBS of photos.....ready???<br />

Our first night back home and Max and I are both sick with Croup! The good news is that Max is sleeping through the night for the first time in over 4 months. He had double ear infections that kept him up a LOT - every night. Now he just kicks me in the face and sleeps and sleeps! Took him to the doctor today and he is on meds for that now. His ears looks good. Knock on wood. And we are awaiting the speech therapy evaluation so we can get started. One thing we've already started is to eliminate the sippy cup. only straws for him. And only the kind they suggest. This ONE change can make a HUGE difference in his motor strength and on where he gets used to putting his tongue. too much info to type now - Must get ready for my parents to arrive tomorrow......<br />
<br />
Have a GREAT thanksgiving everyone!<br />

I'm excited to share more news! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today an article I wrote was published on Meghan Hof's Gathering Light Photography website! The article is a part of the series she is doing called " The Happy Bride Project "</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to write <b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Top 8 Tips on Choosing a Wedding Photographer</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This topic is near and dear to my heart because I was a wedding photographer for about 5-6 years in San Diego and Los Angeles and I was also a Bride in October of 2007. It was interesting to not only be someone who works within the wedding industry, but to also be on the other side of things as a Bride who needs to HIRE the photographer! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I really LOVED getting to know the bride and groom and making sure I was a good fit as their photographer as well as having the couple feel the same about me! It's SO MUCH MORE than just picking someone based on pricing and portfolio.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Today I opened up registration for my <a href="http://www.journeysofthespirit.com/trips/oregon-photography-workshop/" target="_blank">Oregon Coast Photography Retreat June 7-11th 2012!!!!</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The photo above is from the first trip - and let me tell you - it was magical. I miss those gals and I am still in touch with most of them. A few of them are currently taking my <a href="http://www.soulfullphoto.com/" target="_blank">Soul*Full eCourse</a> which is in the 5th week. We are all starting to comment that we don't want it to end! It's been a wonderful experience and I cannot believe we only have one more week after this one! </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I am touched beyond words by the honesty, openness and talent in the group and feel blessed to have such incredible women taking this eCourse.</span></span><b><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></i></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><i>"I was thinking about something you said in your
video yesterday, with regards to the focus of the class, and I had an
image. For me you are a gardener. All of my potential to live a soul full
life has always been with me, yet I was not taking the time to nurture
it. You have been such an inspiration to assist me, as a flower bud, to
essentially bloom. The videos, interviews, photography exercises,
journaling, and flicker community have all worked together brilliantly
to coach me in my discoveries and encourage me to grow spiritually.</i></span></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This week we are hunting for our Power Objects. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What is a power object?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's something - that when you see it - it reminds you of who you really are. It has a message for you. It calls to you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some people find heart shaped rocks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
others find messages written on windows or license plates</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I took my son Max out to swing in our backyard yesterday and he opened up his arms and closed his eyes and smiled big - I knew that this was the "power sign" or "power object". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The ease he had letting go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The joy he expressed so openly and freely</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Taking it all in and being present for it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All a big message for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Let Go!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's so easy for me to see all the areas in my life where I need to practice letting go. There's a little voice in my head - who sounds like a 5 year old who says " I don't wanna wait! " " I want it NOW ". I call her my inner Veruca Salt. Remember her from Willy Wonka? Yea - She lives in my head. If I act on what my inner Veruca says - I am all sorts of controlling and trying to push things the way I want them. But if I Let Go and Trust that the universe supports me - My life feels so much more free. Like Max in the swing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What Power Signs or Power Objects have you seen this week? What was their message to you? Do you have an inner Veruca Salt? What does she say to you?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Here are some things I'm lovin right now:</div>
<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/k7X7sZzSXYs" width="640"></iframe> This video!<br />
<br />
I'm loving the <a href="http://www.worldsbiggestsummit.com/#">video interviews </a>here and that it's free!<br />
<br />
I've known about<a href="http://hulaseventy.blogspot.com/"> her </a>for a while and I am LOVING her work.<br />
<br />
I want to buy everything they <a href="http://www.sycamorestreetpress.com/">make</a> and take their classes! And they are in UTAH! yay!<br />
<br />
Should I sign up for <a href="http://www.altitudesummit.com/">this</a>? It's here in SLC! How can I resist!<br />
<br />
COUNTING THE DAYS until<a href="http://thedarlingtree.com/"> Jo from The Darling Tree</a> gets back from her month long European vacation. We've got lots of new work brewing and I cannot launch it without her talent.<br />
<br />
I ran across this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Heart-Moon-Ali-Farka-Toure/dp/B000AQ69DG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1319243368&sr=8-3">CD </a> and cannot stop playing it.<br />
<br />
I purchased <a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1399618">this</a> back in May and I think it's the best book I've read on lighting your own fire! The resources, videos, content....kicks <strike>ass</strike> butt!<br />
<br />
That you can pre-order <a href="http://www.susannahconway.com/">Susannah Conway'</a>s book on <a href="http://amazon.com/">Amazon.com</a>! I've already purchased mine. <br />
<br />
Quote by Andrea Scher of<a href="http://www.mondobeyondo.org/"> Mondo Beyondo</a><br />
"Are
our dreams just intuitive hits on our future?" " None of them are
impossible if you dreamt them from your heart. It's just a matter of how
much you want to bring to them "<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend! I'll be over on my Soul*Full eCourse hanging out with some incredible women. I'm so glad that each and every one of them signed up for my first run of it. It's been incredible. People are already signing up for the <a href="http://www.soulfullphoto.com/">January Session</a>! I'm pinching myself.<br />

Can you believe you would have to PAY to LOOK! That just makes me laugh.<br />
<br />
I must say that looking and discovering new things is on the top of my favorite things to do list.<br />
Not just through the viewfinder. I mean - in every which way.<br />
<br />
I love to go on a road trip with no destination and see what I see.<br />
I love to take a walk with my camera and discover new things in my own neighborhood.<br />
I love to go to new restaurants, boutique shops and parts of town I've never been to.<br />
<br />
Another way I love to "look" is what I call research. I love research so much it feels like I'm on a luxury vacation when I'm doing research! Isn't that odd? But I love it. I love researching artists, bloggers, cities, towns, photography techniques, photographers etc.<br />
<br />
But one of my all time favorite things to research is.....<br />
the beginning phase of starting up my own business.<br />
<br />
When I am inspired by a new project - I dive into it like it's a big fat piece of Chocolate cake.<br />
And new projects revolve around my new business ventures and it's yummy here!<br />
<br />
I love taking eCourses on <a href="http://www.dowhatyouloveforlife.com/">doing what I love</a><br />
I love reading the<a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1399618"> Spark Kit </a>forward and back and foward and back again. I bought it back in May and I think it's the one book that I recommend the MOST for people who want to Spark their own Fire!<br />
I love learning about social media, being a great business woman, and making it fun, exciting and helpful for myself and for people who want my "products". I love watching videos by<a href="http://marieforleo.com/"> Marie Forleo </a>. <br />
<br />
I love looking at other artist/blogger gals like me. Making connections, hearing their hearts spill onto the page and relating to them. I think of that as research too - the "where are my people" research.<br />
<br />
I love how one website leads to a list of other amazing places and people.<br />
Yesterday I went on the<a href="http://www.altitudesummit.com/"> Alt Summit </a>website ( still thinking about whether I should go to this or not - since it's in SLC and I live in SLC and there are FANTASTIC speakers ......no brainer? )<br />
And found out there is an <a href="http://www.sycamorestreetpress.com/">incredible printmaker </a>that lives HERE in UTAH. I mean....I keep feeling like my "people" live " there" over there not HERE - but there she was! And yep I signed up for her newsletter. I'd love to take one of her letterpress classes. More yum. ( and her work is sold at.....Anthropologie.....I'm in love )<br />
<br />
I love creating something out of nothing. That just turns me on. And research plays a big role in that for me. Even researching what happens when I use new film from the Impossible Project. Or what happens when I mix a red ink with a little but of orange ink....you get the idea. Research is like playing. It requires my attention, and requires some letting go and just moving forward. <br />
<br />
That's what's happening over here late at night after Max goes to sleep. Lots of Research. I'm having a great time. And this weekend we are going to research Silver Lake. I've never been and am so excited to explore unknown territory. Yea - I guess you could say I'm an explorer of the unknown. It excites me. Especially when the unknown leads me to a greater understanding of myself, how to run my business successfully and authentically, learning about others and what feeds their soul, and the world around me. <br />
<br />
When you think about who you are - and what you like to do - what comes to mind? Not in the usual sense of "I like to paint" but what else makes you feel like you are on vacation even if others might find it grueling work or boring.<br />
<br />
Curious!<br />

I've been trying to make a video of all of his signs for a while now - but each time I turn on the camera - he gets shy. This time he did it! He was tired and distracted - but he did it! We wrote out all the signs we thought he knew and asked him to show us each one. Some are more obvious than others - but because we are around him a lot we recognize his "baby" signs. It's just like baby talk. Only the parents really understand them! This morning he showed me 3 more signs that I didn't realize he knew...so I'm going to add to the list and do another one in a month or so. It's truly incredible to me how much sign language he has picked up. He LOVES Rachel Coleman and Signing Time DVD's. I cannot recommend them enough. We have a portable DVD player and we have it when we go out to eat so he can watch and learn while Jerry and I actually have conversations with each other. It's so helpful on many levels! I don't think I would be fond of it if all he did was sit in front of it watching any such thing. But I'm so grateful that they made Signing Time DVD's because the singing and dancing and repetition create a fun learning experience....for all three of us. I literally wake up with the songs in my head.<br />
<br />
Right now Max is outside swinging in our backyard with our <i>babysitter!</i> We hired someone to come here 3 times per week so I can actually work on my photography business and get some much needed time for myself. It's been a hard thing for me to actually do for myself. I feel guilt. I feel inadequate. I feel like I'm missing out on time I could be with Max. Time that I can't get back. But I do notice a big difference inside my being. I notice that when I am with Max I feel more present. I feel more light hearted. I feel less distracted by my business and all the things I want to get done that I cannot get to. Mama NEEDS this time. I've got my tea, my favorite candle is lit, I'm going to turn on my itunes playlist and let myself sink deeper into my own skin so I can be an even better mama for Max - and a better friend to MYSELF! I do notice that Max benefits from having a mama who is more fulfilled. Don't get me wrong. It is very fulfilling to be Max's Mama. AND it's fulfilling to create my artwork, create my business, be alone, take a bubble bath, sip tea in a quiet room and wear my favorite boots and dress up for no reason. Yes - I put on make up and did my hair for my day in the studio. I'm curious what fills you up when you get time away from mamahood? What is on your dream list when you are deep in diaper duty and dream of having time to just do what ever you want? Add a comment and let me know.<br />

The Handcar Regatta - Santa Rosa, Ca. One of the best events I've ever attended. Look at the costmes! People really did it up. Loved them. And the handcar designs were out of this world. I wanted to sink myself deep into this culture. It was fascinating. It was a cross between Goth and Punk and Science and Old Time Period Piece and just outlandishness. Loved it. <br />

Mondo Beyondo Dreams do come true.<br />
One of mine was to meet <a href="http://www.superherojournal.com/">Andrea Scher.</a><br />
I wrote the dream down and put it in an envelope and sealed it. This was about a year ago when we were living in Los Angeles. I remember sitting at the dining room table writing it down and sealing it away. One day as we planned our trip to Santa Rosa for our cousins wedding - I thought I'd e-mail Andrea and just see if she would meet with me for coffee. I felt like "why would SHE want to meet with ME". All of that self defeating chatter came up. But I asked anyway. Sometimes the earth/universe moves my fear away for a brief moment so I can ACT in behalf of my self and my dreams. I hit "send" and waited her response. She was into it. Actually - it felt a bit normal to be emailing back and forth with her. I had seen so many photos of her, had interviewed her on skype for my upcoming <a href="http://www.soulfullphoto.com/">Soul*Full eCourse</a> ( Which starts this Monday by the way! ) and had corresponded with her for several years. I've also taken her <a href="http://www.mondobeyondo.org/">Mondo Beyondo eCourse</a> ( Life changing by the way - you should take it if you haven't already ) - I took her <a href="http://mondobeyondo.org/dreamlab/">Dream Lab eCourse</a> - Super fun - and most recently participated in her <a href="http://www.superherophoto.com/">Superhero Photo eCourse </a>- which was not only super fun, but I learned a bit more about being present, seeking more gratitude and joy and how in the bleep to pack my camera gear AND my diaper bag and child with me...not an easy task but doable.<br />
I've also worn her <a href="http://www.superherodesigns.com/jewelry/index.html">Superhero jewelry</a>, and must say it does make magic happen.<br />
<br />
All this to say that I am clearly a huge fan(!) and I am grateful she took the time to sit with me. I actually brought my son Max and husband Jerry with me and the 4 of us sat and had coffee ( well, Max sat and tossed food onto the floor ). I promised her that next time we meet I would leave the fellas at home. <br />
<br />
I think what stands out about Andrea for me is that she is so BRAVE. She tells it like it is. Authentic and Honest. I've always adored her transparency on her Blog and it has helped me to let down my "professional photographer" mask and just be myself. She is talented and surrounds herself with amazing creative wise women. And is married and mother of two children on top of all of her creative projects. She talked with me on the phone after my first photography retreat on the Oregon Coast and had such supportive words for me as I processed it all. She is a dear soul. She believes in dreaming big and helps others to go for the secret dreams you don't want to say out loud because they are that big. I LOVE that about her. Don't you? Ok - thanks for joining me in a peek inside my Mondo Beyondo Moment. She is largely responsible for the Soul*Full eCourse happening at all. Does she know that? I guess I should send her a link to this blog post...<br />

On the third day in Minneapolis - they took me to Izzy's Ice Cream. I decided to eat everything I normally don't eat - and this day was no exception. I normally refrain from wheat, dairy and sugar....however I must admit that the latte ice cream was worth it. And on top I had a taste of chai ice cream. Um...holy dairy and sugar products! That was tasty. And I ate it in a waffle cone. Yes. Indulged. <br />

Just before I headed to the airport - Amy and I took her two kids across the street to a Buddhist temple. They were having a day of healing and meditation. When we walked in we couldn't believe it. On the outside - it just looks like another house on the block. then you step inside and BAM! High ceilings and a large room filled with GORGEOUS Statues and Relics.<br />

The Man Sitting in the chair is a Monk who left Tibet with the Dalai Lama. He was offering blessings or healings ( not sure what they call them ) so we went - and I must say when I sat in front of him and he placed his hands on my head - I actually felt the energy. It vibrated and was so clearly healing energy. I have only felt that one other time and that's with Miguel Ruiz. It was so incredible.<br />

So - I hate to fly. I get all sorts of uncomfortable when the plane has ANY turbulence whatsoever. And this gal sitting next to me held my hand and we both helped each other through any bumps along the way. SO sweet of her. We talked the entire way home, Exchanged facebook info and e-mails. A new friend in Utah.<br />

My first morning home I took this panoramic with an app called DarManDar on my iPhone. I love it. Thanks to Amy's husband for telling me about it! This is what I see every morning when I feel Max his breakfast. I love our open floor plan and all that light coming in. And I love being back with my family! <br />

My first day home was so fun just getting back to simple abundance of the everyday moments. Sitting out on our driveway while Max plays with his car. Seems so perfect. And I miss Amy. I miss her all the time. I've missed her since our days back in Minneapolis when we lived together and she decided to move to San Francisco. We've never lived int he same city at the same time again. I cannot wait to go back to Minneapolis again to see her and her family. I love all of them.<br />
<br />
I got back on Sunday night - and then on Friday we all packed up and went to Santa Rosa, California for my cousin Andy's wedding. I'll post those photos soon!<br />

Sex in the City movie ( the first one ) with a giant bowl of popcorn
covered in earth balance and sea salt. I couldn't stop eating it. Vera -
Joined us and I couldn't help but play around with my iPhone and some
goofy portraits. Then Sean, Amy's husband got in on it. It was pretty
hilarious actually.</span></div>

In the afternoon Amy and I went to the Creative Connection to go to a Panel that was moderated by Beth Nicholls. And Kelly Rae Roberts was on the panel! HAD TO GO! I took <a href="http://dowhatyouloveforlife.com/e-course/">Beth Nicholls Do What You Love eCourse </a>and it was incredible. I interviewed her for my <a href="http://www.soulfullphoto.com/">Soul*Full eCourse.</a> She was so fun to talk with, but meeting her in person. I was over the moon. She lives in the UK so the chance to meet her was really unique. <a href="http://kellyraeroberts.blogspot.com/">And Kelly Rae! </a>Are you kidding? I'm a huge fan. I took her <a href="http://kellyraeroberts.com/learn">flying lessons eCourse,</a> and own a few of her things in my home. <br />

AMy's husband Sean taught me about 2 apps for my iPhone that I didn't know existed. One is called <a href="http://www.dermandar.com/">DerManDar</a> - and creates panoramics like this one above that I took sitting at the table at their house. The other one is called <a href="http://campl.us/">Camera +</a>. Both I used for the photos on this blog post. They are incredible. Check them out.<br />
<br />
What a great day it was!! Loved hanging out with Amy - we often kid each other on the phone for the other one to "GET OVER HERE" and we come up with dream plans if we could see each other. One of course is to just lay in bed and watch movies so it was great to actualize it. The weather was cold and rainy so it made it even more perfect for that kind of lounging. And going to the Creative Connection was over the top mainly because I had no clue it was happening the same weekend I just happen to be in town - so you can imagine my thrill when I found out!! Amy is the only friend really that would want to go to something like that with me so it was icing on the cake to have her there when I went up to introduce myself to Kelly Rae and Beth Nicholls.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow - the final post of my Minneapolis adventure. Stay tuned - you really won't believe what happened on the third day! <br />

Me and Amy Friday Sept 16th - My first day in Minneapolis. I visited with Amy for a while and we headed out for lunch at one of our favorite places called Birchwood Cafe! GO THERE if you live in Mpls. You will not be disappointed. <br />

That night I was off to the Self Revealed Art Opening. Curated by the incredible <a href="http://vqphoto.com/">Doug Beasley</a>. It was like coming home for me. Seeing people I haven't seen in years, being in a city I lived in for 8 years. It just felt like.....ME. Like the "me" that is rooted in creativity and personal growth. It all started in Minneapolis. <br />

A few photos with Doug - Above being corny! And there we are with Tom BeBiaso, who is Amy's step dad, but also was the Media Arts Chair at MCAD when I went to school there. I adore him. I was touched he and his wife Laura ( Amy's mom ) stopped by. <br />

There's my photograph called "Nest". It was amazing to see it up. My photograph was hung right next to one of my favorite photographers Linda Rossi. In College she was my photo one instructor. I wanted to BE HER when I grew up. And here I am having my photograph up next to hers. It was incredible for me on many levels. I was honored.<br />

PAT! We haven't seen each other since 1994 ( we are guessing ). Somewhere in the mid 90's. It felt like no time had passed. We talked for hours. After the opening we stood outside and talked even more. He was one of my very first friends when I moved to Minneapolis. He actually has a very large version of the "nest" photo in his house from way back then. I got to meet his lovely wife Ellen at the opening<br />

Here we are together. They have 2 children together. I've seen them on Facebook, but next time I'm in town I plan on meeting them. Dear souls these two humans are. So GRATEFUL I was able to see them on this trip.<br />

ok That large self portrait doesn't look right in this photo - I mean what I did to it in instragram makes it look blown out on his forehead and it doesn't look like that in real life. You must go see this show. The art is incredible.<br />

Clearly Doug has a few friends! This opening was PACKED the entire evening. After the opening a handful of us joined Doug for dinner. It was so nice to just sit and get to know more about his friends. The trip was so fast - I was there Friday - Sunday - that I didn't get another chance to see Doug. So many reasons to head back there - SOON! I so love it. The rich culture, the creativity - so much to see and do there. People that I feel so deeply connected with. I miss it. I don't miss the freezing cold Winters and the humid Summers...but I miss the warm souls that make me feel like I am home.<br />

I'll post day 2 tomorrow......<br />

SO much to tell you from my trip to Minneapolis. And SO many photos! I got home around midnight last night and have been on my full time Mama duty ever since. The best I've done today is actually unpack everything and put it away or toss into the laundry basket - which usually NEVER happens. I leave it in the luggage for DAYS. Hey... a girl can change! <br />
Until I get a moment to download the photos to post them for you - I'd love to share something I just found out about.<br />
<br />

I'm on a mission to find more of "my people" here. Going back to Minneapolis reminded me of the amazing friends I have there who are all creative, introspective, groovy, against the grain, intellectual, highly crafty and talented, spiritually minded, or fabulously rebellious in a not so harmful way, etc etc. I actually NEED that. I need my tribe. I actually have an amazing tribe already established here in AA and also in the Down syndrome community and I am so grateful for them! Hello Friends! - and now I need to find my creative tribe. Hello? Salt Lake City? Where are you??<br />
So I'm snooping around online - looking at the art classes in town, The printmaking and photography courses, galleries, communities that I can plug into.<br />
<br />
If you know of what I speak - Please comment below and send links!<br />
