Don’t have very much time to blog. Busy day. Years ago I saw a whole book on self-portrait photography. It was fascinating to look through all the different ways in which the author captured herself on film. She used mirrors and sunglasses and water — taking each picture herself. Truly a creative expression.
This attempt is not, I think, going to make its way into any book.
I am currently serving on the Women’s Retreat Committee with four other women. We are in the process of planning the retreat for April. I love working with these ladies. It is such a blessing to meet, pray and see how God is moving in the lives of the women at our church. My children and husband think I have WAY too many meetings and secretly (or not so secretly, more like loudly) suspect that we are just going out for coffee and visiting once a month. I guess the blue, flowered folder I carry with me to Starbucks isn’t a very convincing cover. Ha!
Last year was my first time being involved in this way and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was tickled when they asked me to participate again. We attend a great church with very passionate leaders. It’s exciting to be a part of God’s work.
This is a picture of one of the AWESOME women on the team. I am so pleased to get to know her better this year. Beckie has an amazing, cheerful spirit. She radiates joy and a love for the Lord and His people. When I first met Beckie she welcomed me to the church with warmth and friendship. She has a gift of encouraging and accepting people with true sincerity.
I am sometimes overwhelmed with how gracious God is to bring friends in to my life.

This is one of the most hilarious attempts at self-portrait I have ever seen. I had a real laugh at what showed at the top of the page tonight. Thanks for including it.
It is a rare privilege to live with such a consummate photographer. Any day, now, we’re expecting the call from a publishing house for a juicy new digital photography book contract.
Actually, yesterday marked the first day in the last two weeks in which Kathy took less than 50 pictures, and so it may be that the pickings were a bit slim. We’ll try to do better.
One interesting outgrowth of this project has been the intentional efforts Kathy is putting into affirming those she loves. I think it is a great way to build up her spiritual gift in this area and I admire her greatly for doing it.
I love the top photo – or I love most of all that you included it in your blog. {G} Your blog is a joy to read.
