#NaBloPoMo – My Passion

Today’s #NaBloPoMo photo prompt is “Your Passion.”  It was tougher than I thought to choose one thing as my passion. I did finally narrow it down to a couple of things, though.

#NaBloPoMo – To Selfie or Not To Selfie?

I love a good selfie.  Granted, they can be totally overdone, but sometimes you just need to take one. I even went as a selfie for Halloween last year. I actually hope to eventually have a mirror cut to fit the hole and hang this as you walk into my office at work. Of course…

Happy Easter!

I have an old children’s book on my shelf that makes me very happy. It’s called Marshmallow, and it is about a little white bunny and his friend Oliver the cat. I hope that this Easter you are enjoying the company of your “near relations.” Happy Easter from Marshmallow, Oliver, and myself!
