…humbled…

…I spend most of my days walking through this world with a smile on my face and a heart full of thankfulness.  Thankfulness for my healthy family, our home, our love for each other, our jobs.  Every once in a while it all sneaks up on me and I can’t help but think…”my life is too perfect, the bottom is going to fall out”…Panic sets in…and I go through lots of scenarios in my head until I convince myself…Just be thankful for the here and now.  It’s the only thing that you can be sure of.

Well I recently met another mother who was faced with this scenario, only hers wasn’t just in her head…it actually happened.  A parents worst nightmare. Doctors told her that her beautiful baby boy Charlie had cystic fibrosis.  An eventually fatal disease. 

I am humbled and honored to have met this family and to be able to assist in their search for a cure.  To read more about their story or to help in their search go here http://www.cfangels.org/charlie.html

Now I get to introduce you to Charlie and his baby sister Mya…two of the sweetest little souls I have ever encountered.

I just love all of these lovely children, their expressions, their soul, and best of all, your sensitive capture. Lovely work.

I read your blog about the blue cabinets. Tell your partner/friend/husband that I am a realtor, and I think you will be fine with blue cabinets regarding re-sale. As long as your improvements are tasteful and coordinate with the rest of your kitchen, you won’t have anything to worry about. Not to mention it sounds like you won’t be moving for a very long while, and by that time all your improvements will be outdated anyway! Feel free to communicate further if need be! P.S. Beautiful pictures of Charlie and Maya!
