Our first instinct is to try to make some sense out of these things; however, this act could never make sense. Upon hearing today’s horrific news I literally got sick and like you  have been sobbing for most of the day. It took every ounce of will power  to not jet to Mini-me’s school, pull her out early just to hold her, to have her near.  I waited for normal dismissal.  When I got there her class wasn’t downstairs yet. I couldn’t wait…went up to the class to bring her home.  We received strange glances  as I carried my Kindergartener across the court-yard and to our car. She looks too big for that, maybe she is too big for that. I didn’t care, nor did she.  She held on tight, as I kissed her sweet face she whispered to me about her day and comforted me more than she will ever know.

A little bit before bed I watched the video below and then asked Mini-me what her favorite word was (I knew what the answer would be). She answered,  “LOVE. I love you Mommy. I love all my family. Love fills the world.”  I had her write down her favorite word and took this picture.

So, from the #mouthofbabes Love fills the world. Breath your loved ones in tonight and every night, know that every single second is a gift.

Howdy! Obsessed with all things photography. Love to teach, and heal through this art. #photogHER2Day Coming to you from Austin, Tx. Above all else (and it's a lot) I'm Mom to Abby & Atlas. Married to my greatest supporter and friend, Curt. Everyday, I choose gratitude over grief.  #MakeTheTime to create for me, so I can be the very best for all those in my life. My "Why": 10 years ago I lost my brother. He was my best friend, my mentor, my compass.  He got sick out of the blue at the 30 years-old and was an inspiration to many. He traveled the world and never had many images to show for it all. I cherish ALL the images we have of Rafael. Blurry or not, I only wish we had more. I capture images of my everyday. Obssessed with capturing moments of my children, of my life and even my businesses. I believe the only thing that seperates a good image from a great image is its ability to tell a story and ultimately make you, the viewer, feel something.
