Hello! My name is JoAnn. I am excited that you have come to my blog to see what I am about. I have been thinking about doing this for a long time and felt this was the time! What you will find out about me is that I enjoy encouraging others and I hope this will be a place you come to for that. I am a wife, mom to 4, grandma to 1. I enjoy reading, learning, music, photography, creating things, technology, connecting with people, and shopping in Thrift Stores and Anitque Shops and… the thrill of the find! I live in the great Pacific Northwest and I enjoy all of the beautiful creation around me.
Let me ask you something… Have you ever wondered why blogging is so popular? I think it is because people need connection. Connection with others is very important and it is at the center of our well-being. When we are connected, we can break out of the our isolation and enter a more spacious place. I hope that this blog is a “spacious place” where you can find connection as we walk the journey of life together.
Grab a mocha or cup of tea and sit a while with me in this spacious place where you can feel free to connect. God bless you.

Hi JoAnn,
It was great to meet you at the class last night! Your blog and images are awesome! Very nice work!
Thank you! It was so great to have a chance to come and hear some good information. I love to learn more and have been seeking out ways of learning without a lot of cost involved. So I read my head off and use the camera ALL the time! Your class was great! Thanks so much for doing it! If you do a class on Lightroom, I will be the first one there!!! I also started a photography blog on blogger at http://www.journeysofmyheart.blogspot.com for sharing the photos but find the blogs hard to do photography in many cases. I enhanced it a bit to personalize the look but still it is rather difficult. Thanks again and also thanks for the encouragement!
JoAnn.
