Everyone else was looking at street signs so we didn't get lost, restaurant names so we could eat, etc.

I couldn't stop looking at the other stuff.

Everyone else was looking at street signs so we didn't get lost, restaurant names so we could eat, etc. I couldn't stop looking at the other stuff. Colorful flowers giving life to an aging home. Tops of buildings using the sky as a backdrop. First-time quirky activities. That's my zone & I like it here. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Which of the photos best describe your focus when exploring? #ThrillerMom #DoingAndDining #FamilyAdventures #ExploreMoreTogether #EverydayWonder

I realized that lately, I haven't been looking for more excitement. I've been searching for more depth. What moments really mean to me. How someone's presence makes me feel. (Drained or inspired?) I think those are important factors we should be honest with ourselves about. ❤️ What does depth look like in this season of YOUR life? #ThingsIveBeenNoticing #Storyteller #LifeInTransition #CreativeLiving #SlowDownAndNotice

You're not the only one feeling it. Everything is going too fast.

You're not the only one feeling it. Everything is going too fast. And I'm not interested. At 47... perimenopausal... with children at different stages of life who need different versions of me...a changing body to figure out... to-dos that only my planner can hold + A new relationship, new city, new home, etc., etc. I don't want to keep up with fast-paced anything. And you won't get that content from me often either. I'd rather you have a space to relate, breathe, reflect, feel something, and hear your own thoughts. I'm sure it's been a while. Btw, isn't that a beautiful night sky? #LifeReflections #MidlifeTransition #MiddleAgedWoman #Over40ContentCreator #WriterAndPhotographer

Her week was full of to-dos.

Her week was full of to-dos. Her weekend full of surprises. A last-minute, tween-planned sleepover. A live TXT, (K-pop) concert at an IMAX theater that lasted double the time we expected. Chunky guac. A hospital bed. Her eyes are tired. Her heart is full. 💓 #MomLife #WeekendRecap #MondayNight #txtmoacon2026 #FunAdventureFamily

This weekend, get out if you can and look around. Document or capture whatever *feels* beautiful, interesting, and unique to you? Create ways to enjoy YOUR life. Because how YOU feel is just as important as how good you try to make sure everyone else feels.

My scared azz was out there with the alligators, y'all. 🐊 Let me tell you... if you want to feel safe and bayou-informed, Ultimate Swamp Adventures is the place. (Near Westwago) I can only speak about our guide, Nick. He was fantastic! Choose a swamp boat (slow moving) or an air boat (fast). Whatever is your speed. A storm missed us, cool breezes were blowing, and wildlife cooperated. Oh, and the animals behaved, too.😏😆 In the last slide, you'll see a man almost lose his phone after we'd just been warned‼️ #SwampTour #OnTheBayou #AlligatorWhisperer #AdventureWriter #BlackTravelWriter

If you want to feel alive again, do something that excites you.

It can be an old hobby you've put aside or something you've wanted to try.

Having a camera in hand is the closest thing to magic for me. I can make time stand still! ✨️

If you want to feel alive again, do something that excites you. It can be an old hobby you've put aside or something you've wanted to try. Having a camera in hand is the closest thing to magic for me. I can make time stand still! ✨️ Over the holidays, my family gifted me the camera I've really wanted. That means the world to me. Now, to learn to use this wonderfully complex thing, lol. #SelfDiscovery #IgniteYourPassion #SonyAlpha #TakeThePicture #DoSomethingYouLove

Pickled pigs lips.

Have you eaten them? Would you try them?

I grew up in Granville County, NC and I've eaten pork my whole life. I know many people who eat pigs feet (I don't), but I've never heard of eating pigs lips until now. 🤷🏾&zwj;♀️
