Girl Power

I went to my first ever water polo game the other day to watch my niece , Carly play for her high school JV team. It was quite thrilling to watch! Water polo is a fast paced game that is played while all the girls are treading water. The play is very intense. As I was watching I couldn't believe this was my first time watching the sport. I love anything where girls show their beautiful powerful true selves!

This is Carly, #14 , defending her opponent.

Instead of running you have to swim hard to get to the ball.

There is a lot of pulling, kicking and elbowing while going for the ball.

A well deserved time out...the only time to take a breather!

Carly is making a shot on goal.

I'm very proud of you Carly! You work so hard at everything you do! I can't wait for the next game.

Interlochen Arts Academy

This weekend was a family trip to Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. My niece , Jackie, is a Freshman at the fine arts school. First she entertained with a choral concert.

The school of 500 students is in Northeast Michigan. What a beautiful setting to nurture creativity!

The campus is 1200 acres, founded in 1928. Young students come from all over the world to attend.

One look at the classrooms will show you this school is extraordinary.

My girl's favorite part was the beautiful ceiling in each classroom. It is open - as if to let enlightenment in!

Some famous alumni include Josh Groban, Jewel, Felicity Huffman, artist Robert Snyder to name just a few.

Beautiful open corridors....

Another favorite spot, the huge library.


We are so proud of you Jackie! Thanks for a great weekend.!
