Dates are set!! Announcing my 5-day Branding Photo

Dates are set!! Announcing my 5-day Branding Photo Challenge, February 1 - 5!
LINK IN BIO TO SIGN UP

We all need personal branding photos! But who has time every month or every other month to hire a professional photographer?

You need updated photos on the weekly or the monthly and it would be so much easier if you could do it yourself!

Guess what? You totally CAN!

Grab your spot and let's do it! It's easier than you think and you have everything you need already!!

Why I've been quiet lately ... I wrote about it on my blog ... link in bio ... and below:

The last two in a half months have been super hard, I'm not going to even try and make it seem like it hasn't been. I've been quiet. Quite on social media, quiet in my personal life, just quiet.

When my dear friends climb rocks for the perfect photo, I hold the dogs and wait. And apparently they snap photos of me!!!

Thank you @raybyersjr for the awesome photo and @lovemymtnlife for our crazy ideas!! Love you guys!!

Yesterday afternoon I got to call this “the office”!

What a beautiful display of how amazing nature is.

This photo adventure was just what my heart and soul needed. Fresh air, away from distraction, quiet, and the company of dear friends...and a camera in my hands!

No matter what we are going thru in life, there is always something to be grateful for!

Sunday was just too perfect not to share!! This was at 10:30 am when usually there would surly be fog! After crossing back over the bridge on the way home I stopped to take in the City in full panoramic awesomeness. No photo. I just said thank you to our creator Jehovah for all the good. And also said some prayers.

Today was one of the most beautiful days I’ve ever experienced In San Francisco! The ski was crystal clear, the temperature = perfection, and I got to see families I love! An amazing day!!!

These beautiful flowers were at a bench that were there 3 years ago and just as lovely!

As I was driving home today I felt so thankful. So thankful for all the beauty that surrounds us. We just have to take time to notice it.

For friendships. Im so thankful for each and every one in my life.

Every day is a blessing. Keep your eye on the watch for the things that being you joy, no matter how great or small.

My heart is full.

It’s such a beautiful Saturday morning!

Sometimes I have to pinch myself that I still get to do what I love.

Be yourself ... no really, be yourself! Don't wor

Be yourself ... no really, be yourself! Don't worry about what others think, life is too short.⠀
⠀
Here's the thing I want to share. About 15 years ago, I was sitting in a cubicle squirting this cheese on my crackers and someone I really respected said " OMG, Penny, I can't believe YOU eat that!" I was embarrassed, I quickly said, shyly "I like it". and I wanted to add I like other refined cheese too ... but it was too late ... the embarrassment was there.⠀
⠀
Then I went home and questioned my choices. How dumb! Seriously, who cares what I like and why in the world would I not buy squeeze cheese because a supervisor thinks it is less than desirable??!!⠀
⠀
Truth be told ... it wasn't until last weekend that I bought it again!!! WHAT??!!! you say .....⠀
⠀
Fast forward to last weekend ... note, I am a foodie, I'm not going to lie. I love food. But, OBVIOUSLY, I'm not too pretentious about it. I like the finer things ... I like the not so finer things. There honestly isn't much I don't like. For the record, I don't like beets! I don't care how good they are for you - they are not crossing my lips!I came home from the grocery store with my squeeze cheese and Ritz crackers - YUMMM I thought - a guilty pleasure to the MAX. Izzy asked " Mom, do you REALY like that??" with a questioning disapproving, like OMG look ... I quickly responded ... "Yep, and don't ever let someone make you feel dumb about what you like" "Be you, sweetpea, especially when it comes to food and wine and you will always be happy".LikeCommentShare

Sometimes being in front of the camera is so hard

Sometimes being in front of the camera is so hard for me. 😜

My inner gobber-oldest-child-of-five comes out and I have to resist sticking my tongue out or throwing up a peace sign! I know, I know ... trust me it drove my mom crazy!🤷🏻‍♀️
But I have to admit, this little challenge I’m creating around being comfortable in front of the camera ... it’s kinda fun!
More details coming soon, I promise!

Are there little things that remind you of someone

Are there little things that remind you of someone special in your life?⠀
⠀
For me, hummingbirds remind me of my Grandma Cele. Dragonflies, my Grandma Cop. The smell of burning wood of my Grandma Dettlaff (they actually had a woodburning stove when I was growing up - yes, I know, I just dated myself for sure!)⠀
⠀
I would guess that bumblebees remind others of me. I love them! I wore a jeweled bee in my hair when I got married. I wore a different pair of bee earrings when my niece and my nephew got married on their wedding days that I will put away for them. And as each special young one in my family grows up I will be sure to have a little something special for them that is a bee too.⠀
⠀
Bumblebees are just so neat. Tiny and mighty. They seem so happy, which I do realize sounds ridiculous to say - but to me it's true. Hard workers and happy - two things that I strive to be myself. The humble bumblebee is sorta a mascot of sorts for me.⠀
⠀
Funny that I'm allergic to them, but I give them all the respect ... kinda like sharks in my mind ... except I'm terrified of sharks!! And a jeweled shark might not have looked so classic on my wedding day!! LOL⠀
⠀
Oh ... I love pineapples too - but that's a whole different story!!!
