Carpe Diem

Seize the day....  Live, love, do, enjoy, rejoice and praise. You always hear everyone talking about live for the moment, while that sounds bold and exciting lets be real not all of us are rock climbing or sky diving but it could be just have a cup of coffee with a friend instead of making sure your laundry is put away, going to the playground with the little ones instead of scrubbing the toilets, make a casserole while the kids are in school so you can talk them on a walk after school instead of cooking.

Recently I had a big distraction, I kept putting off visiting someone until I had a small professional mishap taken care of.  Timeline: Last Monday I really finished up that problem ,Wednesday I had another meeting sorting out a few more issues. Wednesday night I messaged my client/ friend who had not been well, asked her for her address. There was no reply. See, I have all these amazing Irises blooming at my home and wanted to cut a big bunch of them and bring them to her, visit and talk with her see how she was doing. Thursday evening I received word from our mutual friend she had passed........ Live and Love those that matter everyday, tell people what they mean to you before you have to write a blog about it and HOPE they knew how thankful you are to have met them or known them.

 Dawn made me feel so thankful to have picked up my camera, she trusted me to capture images of her in her most real natural self. We had lots of great fun during her shoot, she wanted me to teach her how to make her hair do "that" again, and I completely planned on showing her how simple it was. She told me she felt more comfortable about herself then she had in a long time. Just being a small part of her journey, for that I am grateful. Dawn and I talked about doing a project to show case breast cancer survivors and their journeys.


 I have told my friends many times I don't want anything to happen and them wonder how much they meant to me in my life, unfortunately this time I did achieve that this time. I will have this regret, I believe she knew I was thankful for her inspiration how much she trusted me.


I don't have any deep thought or inspirational quotes just wanted to share my thoughts and emotions...
(sorry if there are any typos probably not going to do the best job proof reading myself)

"More Than a Mom" ~Lindsay

To find out more about being featured as a More than a mom click here Faced with divorce, I was forced to take a hard look at myself. Why doesn’t he love me anymore? What am I doing wrong? Turns out, he did still love me but I wasn’t me anymore. I had poured all of myself into being a mom after our youngest child’s Autism diagnosis. I could no longer think of the last time I did anything that didn’t involve the kids in some way. So, how do I get back to me? Who was/am I? I am more than a thirty four year old mom of three great kids. I am an athlete and I love the outdoors so I started running and hiking again. I am a great friend so I’m making an effort to hang out more. I am an artist; I am taking time to create again. I am a hard worker and I love my job, coworkers and the patients I serve. Most importantly, I am still my husbands smoking hot, sexy, spontaneous, free spirited soul mate. I am so sorry I lost sight of that. I still love him dearly. Lindsay Highhouse ...
