Diabetes Blog Week Day 5: More Than My Diabetes

Today is the last day of Diabetes Blog Week (THANK YOU KAREN,) and it's all about our passions besides diabetes. 

I am more than just my diabetes and I certainly have other interests besides diabetes. 

I love cooking and I love cooking for others.
I love traveling and I need to do more.
Children and animals make me smile and I try and spend as much time as I can with both.
Books have been my life long friends, going to the movies is and attending plays and important to me. Speaking of, I love performing and I miss it. 
Yours truly is a fan of all things sparkly because I am my mothers daughter.

I have a large collection of  antique jewelry (real, but mostly costume,) that span the decades and I love learning about and finding new pieces. My collection adds flair to my most basic outfits - as well as my most fab.

Native American jewelry are stories in silver and stone and I love learning and wearing those stories. 

The beach and the ocean bring me peace  - I love being in and on the water and along the shore and in the waves are where I feel most free and centered.

Same goes for art in all mediums, though photography is the one I actually work in.

I LOVE  photography. 
Taking photographs is way for me to see the world through different lenses and perspectives - it’s also my therapy.

There was at time I loved to have my picture taken - now I like to be the one taking the pictures.
Some of my photos are in this post and I hope they make you smile!
