    ACCESS

    I was walking through the hospital the other day and I used my badge to get into the building and instantly what came to my mind was the word access. Before I go on I feel the need to define the word, access, which means, permission, liberty, or ability to enter, approach, or pass to and from a place or to approach or communicate with a person or thing. Because I work for the hospital they have given me access (permission, liberty, or ability to enter) to get into the building. I was able to get into doors other people (that do not work there of course) are not able…

    Let’s Catch Up

    I know, I know, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I figured I’d take some time to catch you up on my life. I’ve been crazy busy lately, and honestly, procrastination is real. LOL.

Let’s start…

    Capture the Moment

    Pictures are a way of capturing a special moment in our lives, whether it’s a professional picture for a headshot, a fun picture to celebrate a birthday, or pictures that commemorate a moment. Recently, my cousin encouraged me and some friends to work on a project called “Day in the Life.” Day in the Life is a one-day documenting project to record everyday life stories, the basics of your life right now. In preparation for this day, I set reminders throughout the day to take pictures and journal. As I took pictures and wrote little notes about my day, I realized the importance of capturing moments. Life moves so quickly,…
