Following the Passions of My Heart
I am starting out fresh here at my new web page, which is more than a blog. It's a place where I can express my feelings and passions and share them with others. The past year, although it was rough losing my beloved cat of 13 years, Ashley, and my dad being so ill. I have had many blessings for which I am grateful and feel as if my life is changing for the better. I will never forget those who supported me through the rough times and celebrated with me through the good.
2006 was a year of discovering my true passions; to explore and expand photography and poetry writing. I feel as if I can truly express myself through my photos and poetry, although still a novice, I strive to learn more and hone my skills. I started the K&M Photos and Poetry website with Monica and it's been enjoyable and has inspired me to write from my heart.
My dream of earning my bachelor's degree is unfolding before my eyes, with four terms left. Although I won't have my degree by the time I turn the big 4-0 next month, I will still receive it in my 40th year. I have such a feeling of accomplishment, it's incredible. Did I really say I'll be 40? It doesn't feel like I should be 40 when in my mind, I'm about 26 or 29 at the most! 
Although this is a somewhat serious post, I am still the same goof ball I always was. I am going through a lot of changes, for the better, but I will still basically be me. I had experiences that taught me to focus on getting my degree and focusing on becoming the person I want to be.
I want to thank Christine M for hosting me for the past three years on her domain and server. I truly appreciate all she did for me.
This feels as if I'm finally home in many ways, and I invite you all to come along with me in my journey and share in my new passions.
Happy New Year, everyone!
Karen
