Bebopping Through Life
Well, alright now...this is where I will write a few words now and then. Right now I'm trying to build this website...To Be Me Jewelry. It's actually more work then I realize but I love it! There is so much to learn. So, stick around please and give me a shout out!
I plan to introduce a chance to win a free pair of earrings in the future. I'm just starting to plan this little "freebie". So mark To Be Me Jewelry as a favorite and check back frequently for details.

My cousin Joe turned 50! We were invited to a surprise birthday party for Joe at The Breakers in Spring Lake, NJ. The party was wonderful! Joe was actually surprised. My cousin, was brought to The Breakers on the pretense that he was playing with his band at a party for someone else. Not only was Joe surprised by the party but in total shock that Johnny Winter came to play! Of course Johnny Winter played fantastic. It was a night to remember!
The reason why I'm jotting this post is that this night got me thinking. What I noticed about Joe is his passion for music. It was pure passion. Wonderful to see. In looking at my cousin closer, I think Joe is passionate about everything he gets involved in. How great! Going through life and experiencing passion for something is such a gift. I know that I am passionate with many things that I do and experience. I think that is part of the key to having a positive outlook on life-find passion for something and it will help buffer negative "stuff" that comes in our way.
So, what I wish for anyone reading this is to find passion in something and you will find happiness.

Oh boy! I signed up for a eight week photography class through Macom in Tinton Falls, NJ. Wish me luck. Taking photos of jewelry is a challenge. I'm hoping this class will assist me with taking better photos. We'll see!
I live at the Jerseyshore-quite nice. I decided to practice taking photos for my class. This was taken in Avon, NJ on a windy day last week. It's difficult to see but this "Avon Guy" is sand sailing. His sand cart is on wheels. The wind was really moving him fast! I would like to comment on the instructor that I have for this photography class. He is a wealth of knowledge both in life and photography. He is certainly making this class unique and fun. He has a website that you may like to visit - www.valentinesvalentine.com Of course what's his name? Valentine.
