written by Beckie of beckiegkengle.com Last month was the Prime: Focus on You photography/business workshop. If you weren’t there, let me just say that I think you missed out on an amazing weekend of learning and networking! We had four leaders this year; Amanda of Everyday Elements, Jill of Jill Jarvis Photography, Kelly of kellynewbury.com, […]

March 13, 2013 by 4 Comments
written by Beckie of beckiegkengle.com I was just looking at the calendar this morning, and realized I have been writing for Everyday Elements for an entire year already (March 14, 2012 was my first post)! Wow how quickly the time has flown by! Through Everyday Elements, I have learned new things, traveled new places, and […]
The importance of networking!
March 6, 2013 by 4 Comments
written by Beckie of beckiegkengle.com What is networking? It’s not just about social media (though that plays a big part in networking). I’m talking about getting out there and meeting up with people who do what you do! Stepping outside of your comfort zone, and introducing yourself to others. It has the potential to create […]
Take Time for a Family Picture
November 23, 2011 by 12 Comments
Life is short. Let me repeat- life is short. The sudden and tragic death of my neighbor and her son made me realize that while things can be going along fine and dandy, you never know when you won’t be coming back home. What does that doom and gloom have to do with the topic […]

So many of you continue to inquire about Delanie and Magalita, our two resident miracles, and I so appreciate the continued thoughts, prayers and love you send their way (and my way). I thought y’all would like to seem some pictures of them and hear a few updates. They are both healthy and energetic and […]
Spring on a Farm
April 23, 2011 by 20 Comments
A picture I took about a month ago while on the backside of a pasture, where it meets the woods. Stray trees have grown up along the fence line (thanks to birds who sit and p**p out seeds they’ve eaten), but I thought it created a interesting image with little buds of leaves, the light […]
Dreaming of a New Home Office
April 13, 2011 by 7 Comments
I have a dream….. That one day the bedroom-turned-office would be well organized and functional. That the office would be a place that I did not avoid rather that I enjoyed being in and thus got more work done. That I could go there to relax and talk with friends or read a book; that […]

April 1, 2011 by 8 Comments
Hello!!! I am posting for the first time via my new (refurbished) 15 inch Macbook Pro laptop. Yep, I now have “dual citizenship” …. I belong in both the PC world, with my custom built PC desktop, and in the Mac world, with this lovely little Macbook. Why the heck did I want dual citizenship? […]
