Latest Update...

Hey everyone-
I wanted to check in with all of you and let you know that things have been very busy and that is why you have not seen anything from either, myself or Jayson. As said in the last post, Jayson is home in NC. He is finishing up his duties with the Navy and then is off to have some well deserved personal time. He continues to work on the project while he is back in the states though. He has been interviewing several wives of Marines. The stories they share, with their truth of their men and the real life that they have to adjust to, is very intense.
As you can imagine, there is a great deal of stress and anxiety that they will experience in their readjustment to life here. And the wives, having not been through or seen what their husbands have, have to adjust from a blind perspective, but out of love, they push through with tears! Can't wait to give you more details later.

Some of you know this already, but my sister is in Iraq now. She is on the Lincoln for the Navy. Her daughter is here with our parents and her fiance patiently waits to hear from her every day. So it is not only the wives, it affects all of our loved ones!
Here is an amazing image that she sent me:)

So much going on!

Hi everyone-
I have been way too busy for my own health. I apologize for not updating all of you on the events with Jayson and his project. He should have left Iraq on Saturday, the 10th of May. I have not spoken to him yet, but we agreed to speak tomorrow, which I am really looking forward to. I can't wait to get a decision from the judges on the art board! I will keep all of you posted and I can't wait to see Jayson and start on this amazing book!

Contributions to the development of this book are appreciated....please contact me with any inquires in regards to how to help...

Art Show Update...

Final selections for the upcoming art show that everyone has been helping us with, will be on June 14th! Everything will be dropped off for viewing next week! The anticipation is so uplifting!

Count Down!

Hi everyone-
We have only 4 days until Jayson can return home. You can only imagine how relieved and excited he is! He will be able to spend time adjusting and unwinding from the Navy. His enlistment will be up shortly after his return and as of now, there are no plans to re-enlist. Keep posted, he will be able to communicate more when he returns!

TEN DAYS!

We only have 10 days until Jay will be home! I can tell you that he is so relieved to be coming home and living a new life with his new found love for life and creativity! Upon his returning and situating himself, he will be finishing his time in the Navy and then promptly moving to San Diego for the summer. During his stay here, we will be spending time developing the long awaited book with beautiful imagery, captivating interviews, personal stories, and the evolution of the human soul.
It's count down time:)

For Military Wives and Girl Friends












I wanted to offer something special to the women who are supporting their men from afar.
I started taking these images of military wives and girl friends for friends of mine and the response was huge!

"He told me that he felt like I had given him a piece of my soul and then he cried"

What an amazing thing to hear and feel while you are distanced by war. I would like to offer my services at a discounted price for military wives and girlfriends.

Please Contact me if you are interested or know some one who is:
