Well it has been awhile since I have posted…for that I do feel bad for not keeping my readers up to date… BUT I have been taking a little time to decide what and where I want to go with the direction of where I am right now in my life.

With the economic times, changes in our daily lives, loved ones who become sick without notice, life’s ups and downs and just dealing with the rush of  life, this is something I have begun to ask myself more with each passing day. Sometimes we  tend to think about the bad and the ugly instead of thinking about the good times, funny stories and the  priceless moments of life gone by.

Marti of Fauxscapes in Baton Rouge Louisiana, whom I have worked very closely with over the last year, was going to be doing  a modello for one of  her previous clients.
