I Heart Faces this week is "Self Portrait"


Adult Category:
I went on a business trip with my DH to the LA area. While he was in meetings I took the rental car to the beach! The expression on my face shows the peaceful feeling I get whenever I am near the ocean. Oohhhhh...I miss it!


Kids Category:

I know this will never win any awards, but it's an emotional one for me. I took it with my cell phone. My daughter, Jourdan, just called off a relationship with a guy she absolutely adored. The bottom line? She wanted religion, he didn't. She's been crying, but has come to sit in my lap for some nurturing and comfort. Oh~I love my girl! I am so proud of her for making good choices. She starts her first semester of college today.

Be sure to take a look at all the other fabulous entries this week at I Heart Faces!

  2. Great story about your daughter. I've had so many of those moments as a grown-up, when I need to just hug my mom and cry. What a lovely relationship you two obviously have - great photos!

    And what a poignant moment between mom and daughter. You really must be so proud of her!

    i like the background in your first picture very much. and i like how your eyes are looking up instead of directly at the camera. it's very pretty.
