Single and Enjoying Life

When I turned 30, I found myself as a single parent, I lost the security that marriage offered. With time, my broken heart healed, and I got my independence back, along with my my friends (which I traded for a husband). Eight years later, I'm enjoying my life more than ever. I've fulfilled some of my dreams, which never would have happened in my married life. While married I put my desires, and dreams on hold, thinking they would always remain "just dreams". My dream was to travel, since finding myself single. I have had the chance to enjoy my dreams. Hawaii, California, Mexico, New York State, Vermont, Quebec, Alberta, and more of Beautiful British Columbia. Taking my camera with me on my travels, I have been able to capture the memories on film.
