My final thoughts for the night.... This collection marks a new chapter of my life. An embracing of my age, My wrinkles, my scars, my grey hairs. They are not to be feared, but to be celebrated. A life lived well.

My very first cover with Kris. He did it over zoom a week ago, and we've collaborated on the cover. It's the first one in the "Real Live Man" series. I wanted to showcase the man I am now, not some face from the past.

This is actually the photo that Brent told me made him wonder about me. He said he'd looked at it many times, wondering why he looked just like the man in the photo.

My final thoughts for the night. I've got a lot to be proud of, but I'm not done yet! For me, life is an adventure. Always something new to explore. My next step in my life? This photo is the first clue. More to come....

Ah, peace and quiet.... Our honeymoon in the Bahamas.

My husband the ham. That's why I can't take him out in public.....hahaha

I told him, "DO NOT EMBARRASS ME!" Did he listen? Noooooo. Daniel and I decided at that point he'd had enough caffeine....

Both of us had already had too much coffee, and he was in a playful mood.

CAMOMILE 🥰🥰🌹♥️🥰. Will BE EUTHANIZED AT #nycacc UF SOMEONE DOES NOT STEP UP FOR HER! DM ME IF YOU CAN FOSTER HER! REPOST HER! Urgent 🚨

My first time working with my husband. Turns out he's hilarious to work with!

Taken one week after the back surgeries. Daniel insisted on the blazer to help hide my back brace.

I was actually in a foul mood that day -- migraine headache, and I told Daniel " you only get one take.". That glare is real, but after he created the cover, I think it turned out pretty good.

Pre back surgeries. Daniel talked me into it, so I went along. How was I to know I would actually end up liking it?

SHE IS FREE! 🎊🎊🥰🥰😘😘📣📣

My hubby's favorite. He actually has this one as his wallpaper on his iPhone. Don't ask me why; I'm just the model.

Surf's up! Another day at the beach. I know, I know, my legs are scary looking 😁

Los Angeles. That truck was a rental, and since they don't allow smoking in them anymore, I was craving a good pipe. Hubby caught this on his iPhone.

I know I've already posted this before, but it's a favorite. Our first kiss at our wedding reception. Hey, he's my husband so I'll kiss him all I like....hehe

What's coming up are some of my favorite photos. They're Daniel at his best, so be ready!

I've decided to open the vault and see what's actually in there. You've seen me in jeans, T-shirts, and less, so here's one of me all buttoned up and trying to look like an adult.

I had no idea what was under his suit coat. Halfway through my playing, he slipped the coat off and smiled at me. Oddly enough, it turned out to be just the inspiration I needed....

Wyoming.... Oh my. In my defense, he kissed me first -- I was merely returning the gesture!

Clowning around with my camera.

Kris, my new photographer, has created several little video clips based off photos of me, my husband, and the one baby photo I have of Brent. I saw this and cried, it was so good!

Laciee knows McConnell is dead- mad that she soon will be at 2yrs old too! #nycacc just placed her on the euth list! NY NJ NH NE CY DE DC MD NE PA VA VT RI- FOSTERS NEEDED! DM me! Pls REPOST HER! Urgent 🚨

My final thoughts for the night. Sometimes you just gotta... Kiss like nobody's watching. Say "I love you" just because you can. But the best part is just to love and be loved in return.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqAv... After the year we've had, it's high time for some joy and celebration! How about reposting this thing and see if we can get something going? And go ahead, sing along... You know the words, and besides, what would it hurt?

www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6sk... okay, okay..... I'm in a playful mood. But guys, this guy is one of the singing Masters. There's no touching this! I think it's time to clear the airwaves and let some joy come through....

www.youtube.com/watch?v=A39x... Throwback Tuesday... You've all heard this one before, I know. Nobody does it like Smokey!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7su... Ah, yes. This was the soundtrack to our night together last night. I'm not one to kiss and tell, so I'll say it like this: Flickering candlelight, plus this song, plus one very, very handsome husband, divided by nothing, equals: You know the answer....hehe

My final thoughts for the night. Peace. Serenity. Safety. Such short supply these are in, Yet they are always wherever he is. His gentle touch a balm for my weary soul.

My new photographer Kris created this for me a few days ago. He took photos of Brent, me, and my husband and digitally blended everything together to create this. Isn't it cute?

One of the very few photos I have of me and my little son. This is the remastered version that Daniel created for me awhile back.

After 22 years I got to meet my son! Last time I saw him, he was three days old. I got a video call that started with "Hi, Dad." and we ended up talking half the night. He's quite a handsome guy; smart, funny, and he has my sense of humor.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=agff... My final thoughts for the night. I've loved this song for years. It reminds me of the nights my husband held me, of the nights I've laid awake and just watched him dream.

Ducky needs a July miracle! He’s 2- has Cherry eyes and #nycacc wants him dead. A rescue will help his Cherry eyes- we just need a foster for him! If you’re in NY NJ NH NE CT DE DC MD ME PA VA VT RI &can save a life- DM me! Please repost him! He is urgent! #Sundayfunday

Happy Sunday Snoozing 💤

Good morning! I thought about it, so here it is. Our first evening in the Bahamas. Time seemed to stop, and that kiss made my heart race. The world can come crashing down for all I care; as long as I'm in his arms I'll be just fine.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6VI... I just thought I'd post this today. Great movie, and well, I figured, "What the hell?"

Timeline cleanse..... This is the one photo that always makes me smile. Without fail. It reminds me that love still exists and that dreams do come true.

She couldn't move after being thrown from a car. Locals heard her screaming at night from over 100 yards away in pain. The end was near for little Skye. Just look at her now one month later ❤️

Daniel did a complete series titled "Darkness". Some of the photos he did of me were included, and this is one of them.
