Loving this moment


I am having so much fun at this moment in my life it hardly seems fair!  I get to play with my sweet baby Augustine, who is 11 months old TODAY, and I get to play at work too.  That’s a heck of a lot of playtime!

I am moving full speed ahead on a number of wonderful projects, with more on the horizon.  Life is definitely a balancing act of work & family, but if I take it one moment at a time, I’m okay.  Sometimes I have to stop and tell myself to enjoy each itsy bitsy millisecond, don’t think about what you’re doing next or what happened ten minutes ago.  Just enjoy this moment.

One of the mystery’s gifts to me is the opportunity to create videos for families.  When I put together a life story video I’m granted exclusive access to the family photo albums, which is like a window into their lives.  The passage of time never ceases to astound me.  Babies grow up in the photos, from infants, to children, to teenagers and adults.  I think of my own beautiful baby and how fast this first year of his life has flown.   I am constantly surrounded by and reminded of the timelessness of life.  What a remarkable journey we each get to take, and what an incredible task I’ve been given to try to preserve it. 

I’ve been writing about a few of my recent projects in this blog.  I hope you can check out some of the short video clips – from helping author Michael Koryta create a visual synopsis of his latest novel, “The Ridge”, to uncovering the history of Black Christian Churches in America, to learning about what it means to “Channel” for someone.  Hope you enjoy!
