Shelby got Married.

And I went. Lovely out door wedding....at the end of Sept in FL still HOT.

Fellow Friend Brian Kenney & I hot and sweaty.

Enjoying the scenery & people.

Wedding party fail. A glass of beer shattering on floor while taking pictures. Ha.

Out of Towners.

Just remember...

Today one billion people don't have clean water to drink. Please help. www.charitywater.org

IT's quite different to blog about something that is in the moment. IT's usually an upcoming event or something that has past. BUT I just finished with the Fashion Show. And What grace God has given me. I sweated to death during the speaking part of it, but I think all the words came out fairly decent. That was the consensus anyway. God imparted energy and strength coming off a long month of traveling, work, preparing and personal stuff. He gave me confidence through His peace, which was my verse from this morning's Streams in the Desert....."In me.....Peace" John 16:33

It's amazing when you step out of your comfort zone to be a reflection of Him. He prepares and follows through.

I am truly blessed.

(Now onto two days of vacation in Savannah. But not before laundry, unpacking, packing, library, bank, cleaning, etcerta)

James Does France

I am so happy that my kid brother is living his dream. He has been in France for a few weeks now. I got to Skype with him the other day and it was So wonderful to see his face. They (Sheena and he) have been all over the South of France for the past week or so, Discovering some of my favorite places in the World. If you were to be his friend and reading this you could get more updates by them on www.sheenadoeseurope.blogspot.com. Cheers.

Coke Posts

I should be working on Fashion Show stuff and I am, but I just had to post this. I have been obsessing over these for days. It amazing the so very many images that people can come up to market one item. COKE probably the most recognized image in the World. There are about 160 more original ideas. Look them up on Flickr!

LIFE

This month has been one of the busiest of my life....it feels like. It's been good, but between work, producing a fashion show & tough family life situations it's been a lot. I think I will be working every day this month except for maybe two. I'm tired. Sometimes I forget what day it is.

God has been incredibly faithful and is pushing me towards asking for things unseen. Which is oh so very hard for me.

"He is the LORD; let him do what is good in his eyes." 1 Samuel 3:18

Ok I am now going to go for a run in the brisk weather. I will be thankful for that.

Just Perfect.

Minus the foul cigarette.

It's So Much Better...

...IN First Class. Booyah. Tess & I living La Vida Loca. It's amazing how big fat seats & Bailey's make for a MUCH better flight. I need to do this more often.

The Sun at Setting Time.

It's amazing that God does this world wide. Constantly.

Thank you.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police

Recently I was in Regina Canada....What you've never heard of it? Well it is bustling metropolis, right above Montana. There was a plethora of things to there, but somehow I managed to pay way too much and squeeze in a visit the Royal Canadian Mounted Police training grounds and museum. Believe me it was a thrilling as it sounds.

There aren't mounted (on horses) anymore, but they still have these charming outfits.

These are the markers that you had to stay on for the tour. You don't want to know what happens if you step on the grass.

There's me.

Some of their Indian Heritage.

And this guy just looked so bad A**

The Fruit of my eerrrr....Labor

Ha! This is the only thing that survived out in the garden/jungle. Started it with good intentions. Being gone all the time makes for a bad garden...plus Im not going to lie...Summer in FL is no joke. I failed big time with gardening. But this little guy made it somehow!?
