Gratitude

My book Gratitude is a rebirthing of grateful moments shared between a mother and daughter.

It's a story of a daughter who had the great fortune to have a mother who reverently taught her to look beneath the surface of life to find Gratitude.

The Journey of Mother and Daughter focuses on their precious time together as the mother teaches her daughter profoundly the meaning of Gratitude through gardening.  The introduction is whimsical, kind, and thoughtful. As the introduction delves, the daughter finds Gratitude in photographing springtime. In Gratitude, the beautifully photographed springtime flowers are paired with pithy words of wisdom from her mother.

The lily on the cover of Gratitude is powerful and lovely. It represents life and reminds us to embrace Gratitude every day and appreciate the opportunity for rebirth and growth.

The readers will feel inspired and uplifted as Gratitude reminds us all to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures in life and express Gratitude for all of the blessings in our lives.

Gratitude is my story, a beautifully written and photographed love letter to my mother. All readers and photography lovers can enjoy it.

Diamonds and Pearls
One brisk spring morning, my husband and I were walking,
and it started to rain.
Rain fell from the sky and rested softly upon rose petals and leaves.
The raindrops glistened like diamonds and pearls, and it was breathtaking.
