How to summarize that which makes up my whole being in a few short paragraphs? I have never felt a particularly need for labels, since I am, and can only be, myself. Still, introductions are awfully tricky to write without them, and there are a few titles that I do not mind.

I am a wife. My husband and I were handfasted on June 23rd, 2007. I love him for all that he is because he loves me for all that I am. He contributes more to my inspiration then I think he realizes and is one of the main driving forces behind my creative pursuits.

I am a mother. The most challenging and the most rewarding job in the world. My son, Damian, was born on Friday, June 6th, 2008. He is the precious shining star in my husband and my life. I am currently pregnant with our second child, due in December. We are looking so forward to meeting her!

I am a gardener, a crafter and (obviously) a bumbling novice photographer. There is something that lives deep inside me which calls out to be allowed to create. It wants to learn, to grow, to live life to it’s fullest. If I do not let it out I become a very cranky scary person indeed.

I am a child of the Wild Old Mama Earth. I was on this path which for a long time before I realized that there others walking the way with me. Some might call me a Pagan or a Witch, and I don’t mind, as long as it is said free of hate. We are so blessed to have this tiny blue planet to call home and I consider it my spiritual obligation to do all that I can to take care of it.

I love my life and I love to laugh. I love the sunrise and set, the passings of the moon, the flowing of a river, the changing aspects of nature and the simple joys life has to offer. I love the feeling of being a small part in a whole. Thus far my life has been quite the journey and I know there is much more self-discovery to come. I am blessed to have my husband, my children and my friends as companions along this wanderlusting way. I hope that you are so blessed too.

Live with Inspiration,
