In a few hours the old year will come to end, and a new one will begin. A time where new goals are made; bad habits are sworn to be broken, and new ones, planned to be established.

I hope that with the start of 2010, your strength and empowerment sticks with you; that it helps you as your life flourishes and that you may find whatever pieces you may feel are not there. In some way, I feel like the new year is in some way a new slate. It gives you a chance to start something new or fix things that may have broken down in the previous year.

Go out into the New Year and teach, create, inspire and learn. Laugh at yourself and with others; wake up and smile from time to time and don't forget to, do something positive.

Thank you, my dear readers, it has been an adventurous year and,
I hope that we will continue to share the adventures with one another.

Happy Holidays Everyone,

TED Tuesday - Carolyn Steel

So I was catching some breakfast at the airport and decided to watch one of the TED episodes on my iPhone. This one is about how food shapes the world. Hopefully it makes you think.

Thoughts: I have always wanted to improve the diet in my life: cut my sugar intake down, eat more fruits and veggies, create a proper eating schedule. This week has helped reiterate that idea. I'm about to get on the plane, but today let's talk food.

WIP - Two Photos on a Saturday

So I currently have two photos on my desktop that are in work-in-process mode. I feel like I have a little bit more post processing to do, but for now I will share with you guys where I am at.

I merged the shadow figures with the greed vortex light from two different photographs


what is known as an HDR photo...taken in Colorado.
