Who Am I — Really?

It has been a fun, and surprising, journey growing the first Heart Challenge course I shared in the early part of this year.  It transformed into a revised, refined and streamlined online digital course now titled “Do A Life-Story Album in 3 Easy Steps”.    You’ll be hearing more about this when we launch the full

Lessons Learned

In creating the Heart course “Do A Life-Story Album in 3 Easy Steps”, there was a major theme we had to follow in order to make it a “doable” project:   we had to think like a Film Director!  That means instead of getting overwhelmed by trying to do our “whole” story (or a family member’s

Do You Have Photo Power?

Let me expound upon Nick Kelsh’s quote (have I told you how much I love him and his tips?) !! Because in the background, my family is shouting, hooting, singing ‘Oh Yeah’. You see, MeMaw (that is what my first grandchild named me) carries around her red DSLR camera to every sporting event, every family get-together,
