For all that you are,
and ever will be,
I’ll love you forever,
Happy Birthday, Mommy.

We’re twins!

My mom was my Nana’s 30th birthday present, three days late. After remembering my Nana’s birthday a few days ago, I couldn’t let today go by without mentioning my mom. (Love you, Mom!) . . .
It’s funny. My blog has often gone differently than I had anticipated. I thought I would zone in only on travel and my experiences abroad. Some of you are far more focused than I. I’ve discovered, though, that my best writing comes from within, and from human experience—which, as we all know, is hard to define, and shifting all of the time . . .
Perhaps my blog isn’t named so badly, after all.

Great photos! Your mom looks so very happy and proud of you both.
Thank you! They were actually slides my dad scanned a few years ago. Fun to look back.
Thank you for sharing little pieces of YOU.
Thank you for caring enough to read! Your comment made my day. Happy Friday!
I enjoy reading what you have to share and making someone smile to boot? Awesome. Happy Saturday!
You too!
This is who you are Jess…no need to go beyond your thoughts.. whatever comes within just let it flow through your words… I love this…
By the way – To your sweet Mom… H A P P Y ~ B I R T H D A Y
Aww, Kazi. You make me feel better. Sometimes I feel I ramble too much… It really is true, though, that our blogs reflect who we are… And thank you! I will tell her what you said. :)
Aw, that’s gorgeous. Love the photo… and happy birthday to your mom!
Thanks, Mark! That means a lot. And I’ll be sure to give her your message. :) Hope you have a great weekend!
So are you saying that ‘inside-Jessica’ is a mysterious mess!? Reading your blogs I beg to differ! I think you are a MARVELOUS mess! ;-)
Well, “mess” is certainly the right word for it, whatever kind of mess that is. Thank you! I think we’re all a little bit messy inside. That’s what makes us human. :)
without family…what are we really?
we don’t exist!! haha. but some of us don’t have to be close to family ALL of the time… but you already knew that. ;)
On first look from the reader, I did a double take. Your mom reminds me of Princess Diana, lol… I don;t know if she does to you. Tell your mom I said she’s beauuuuuuuuuutiful :D
She’s been told that before, Sam! There was definitely a big resemblance when she was younger and had her hair cut in a similar fashion to Diana’s… I will tell her what you said! Or maybe she’ll read your comment herself… I hope you’re having a great weekend! :)
I am Jessica. You take after your mom :D Stay beautiful and pleaseeeeeeeee do take care of your eyes!
I will! Thanks so much! You, too!
Yes – “Shift” perfect name Jess… and this is a beautiful post– happy birthday to your mom – I love the photos :) ~ Your mom is stunning. I agree -the best expression of art is from deep within the most genuine self — perfectly stated! :) x Robyn
Thanks, Robyn! Yes, so long as we are true to ourselves, the rest will all fall into place… And I’m glad you like “Shift,” too. It just seems applicable to everything… Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! :) jess
