Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

I'm a commercial and fine art photographer. My husband is a stock broker. We met through the sport of rowing. We have a thing about water, which is why we bought our fixer-upper on a lake in a state park. We can row everyday now, if we want. Speaking of wanting, we want a baby, and right now that's pretty much what my blog is all about. Adventures in, not travel, but infertility, although we still try to get away form time to time, and stay on that road less traveled.
As an exercise once, I had to pair up with another artist and we had to describe each other. This is what my partner wrote about me:
1. Magenta
2. Emotional strength
3. Direct energy
and my favorite...
4. River in spring
I keep it pinned by my desk to remind myself how others see me, that I am strong, because going through this journey, I sure don't feel like I am.
