Zappy Springs

So here I sit pondering so many thoughts to a world that surrounds me.  My thoughts are just intimate pieces of who I am.

I’ve always been a free spirit and think out the box kinda girl so finding a perfect spot in this world  is always a bit tricky.  I’ve spent some time looking for somthing to call my own but nothing quit fit..  Well in a little package came a baby.  My little Juneau came in 2002.  What a secret surprise and finally something to call mine!

Yet, was it enough? I was still so shy and still had this radiant free spirit personality that seemed to set me apart.  Months came around and the more attached I became with my son the more he helped me let go and just be me.  To grow, to empower, to fail, and follow a path of forgiving happiness and run with wild ideas, to except failure and to know with failure comes a new path of passion.  Thank you, Juneau.  Could I ever imagine that just a baby could teach me so much about life?

Then in 2008, I started catering.  And well let’s just say it didn’t go so well.  Yet, I won’t lie I’m an amazing little chef!!!  Then I tried a meet up and nobody joined.  My son entered Barton Hills Elementary and that ended terrible.  Then we sent him off to private school and that was amazing but so expensive.  Finally now 2010 we are trying home school.  We love it!!!

Back in 2008 I also had my second child, Tasi.  She is my soul.  Tasi is Polynesian for love of water, goddess of the ocean.  She lives up to her name!  She is beautiful, strong, and so much like her mother, ME!!!

Finally last but not least my world, Rob.  I could write a novel on this one, but a simple phrase will do.  He’s my best friend and I wish I had met him so much earlier in my life.

So why Zappy Springs?  I searched and tried, so many things, and nothing quite fit.  I don’t believe in day care.  So I wanted something to call my own but I still wanted family.  No separation, no feeling of doubt.
Yes, start my own thing.  No boss, no day care, no doubt.  So now you have the one and only….. Drum Roll…

Zappy Springs!!!!

I’m a free lance photographer, story book designer, year book designer, and a mom. I have to say it’s so empowering to know your decisions are ones you call your own. You fail, you succeed, you cry, you make tons of mistakes. Yet, in the end it’s your call.  If anything I’m learning it’s just to be me!! My D90 Nikon is an amazing gadget and everyday I’m learning so much, but I won’t lie it’s tricky as
heck, if not just plain complicating.  But I love my freedom…..

So now you have it universe, as to ever reads this!!!

Springs Springs Baby, a journey of learning, freedom, empowerment.

A quote I live by:  “Take a risk everyday, even if you think you may fail”

There my second entry, oh and the photo I posted is my 5 month excursion to South America with my 4 yr old son.  He is sitting up front right next to the bus driver as we traveled across Argentina.
