Week 8: 365 Project

February 25, 2012 ~ Tara R. ~ 7 Comments

I took a Mulligan (it being Leap Year and all), and published  a 365 Project photo that wasn't taken on THE day I posted it. It was still taken this week. In my defense, I did take a photo on the day in question, even sent it to another site for posting later, but won't … Continue reading Week 8: 365 Project

Until the end of time

February 13, 2012January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 17 Comments

When I was a teenager, I was active in my church youth group. We were lucky in that we had an advisor who let us ask him about anything. We were able to talk with him and each other about topics that often our parents avoided at all costs. I still remember one discussion we … Continue reading Until the end of time

January 25, 2012January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 11 Comments

An innocent photo can be manipulated, twisted into the most grotesque caricature. Where once rumors would range only as far as the next office, or … Continue reading In a fishbowl

Into the wind

Ever feel like you're shouting into the wind and even your own voice won't answer you back? Yeah, me neither....

Living in a fishbowl

October 12, 2011January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 7 Comments

My daughter and I have this annoying conversational quirk. We will ping from topic to seemingly unrelated topic. Yet to us there is a logical transition. To others it appears to be disjointed fragments. Add to this that we can pick up a conversation, after being apart, right where we left off. We call it … Continue reading Living in a fishbowl
