Encouragement

  Leslyn. One of my babies that has one of her own now.  Leslyn went to Ouachita (like most everyone in her family).  She was one of my kiddos.  One that I cooked for and let me giggle with.  During the days I was getting to know her, she was getting to know a...

If I didn't love her so much, I'd be done with this one alone just from her daily mountain views in her Instagram feed.  She is teaching me so much about loving a visual moment.  About snagging the everyday and capturing it in a way to share with the world.  About...
