I'm a Florida girl living in lovely Arkansas!

Rescued from the rat race of the
casualty claim insurance world,
I now live my life by priorities instead of demands.


I am so new to photography ... learning and growing!
I love expression through creating cards and journals.
I also love inspired scrapbooking and am learning digital
slowly but surely w PSE 6.0. I am a quote and font fanatic!

My life is about living inspired ...
not just to receive inspiration,
but to share inspiration with others.
It is fitting that the first Flickr Group I joined
is "Shades of Inspiration"!


A few of my favorite things would include
sunsets ... music ... paper ephemera ...
all things silver ... flip flops ... seashells ...
sand between my toes ... flowers ...







My favorite places would include
anywhere in Florida and
my own "la-la land"
in the natural beauty of Arkansas.
I will stop my car for a photo opp (safely) ...
and a fave way to spend a day
is to be in a new place with camera in hand!

Please know that I am interested in
your photos and your way of looking at life
if I add you as a contact ... and will strive
to be a loyal flickr friend :)

"Keep your eyes open,
hold tight to your convictions,
give it all you've got, be resolute,
and love without stopping."
1 Corinth. 16: 13-14 The Message
and
"Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life."
Proverbs 4:23 NLT

"I remember the first time I viewed one of Marilyn's photographs. I was so impressed with her creativity. As I went through her photo stream it became clear to me how gifted Marilyn was at photography and each image having a wonderful message of inspiration.
I have also learned so much from looking at her photostream. Nearly every photo she puts onto Flickr makes me think, "I want to do that" or "I want to try to do that" Even without knowing, she has taught me so much about photography and impressionism and more importantly the lesson to -let your work touch someone's heart. Her images have touched mine.. I thank her for that and for her wonderful support and kind words she leaves on my stream.You have a delightful talent Marilyn,thank you for sharing it with us here."19th April, 2010

""It is always a joy to browse through Marilyn's work. Her images capture many elements that make it much more than just a simple picture. Moods, emotions, feelings....all these things are contained within the images she shares. Its a real treat and a real experience. When looking through her work I feel as though for a tiny moment I am there in the shot. Your work is an inspiration to us all dear Marilyn .
Keep going on, Marilyn, make us curious and happy ! Thank you for your fabulous pictures !
Hugs from Belgium . Heni ."24th March, 2010

"I’m not sure if Marilyn takes a vacation every other month or if visiting her stream just makes me feel like I am on vacation. Either way, it’s a great thing. Marilyn is one of the nicest people I have never met and her photos are just bursting with creativity. Check out her work! You will love it!"
