Helloooooo?

I have been thinking about my little place here, wondering when I should get back to documenting and saving and remembering. I have been in Washington for over a year now and taking it one day at a time. I was conquering my photo a day until October 2011 hit and then…. well… I wasn’t conquering. : ( When I get busy taking other people’s photos, I forget about my own. There is only so much I can do with the limited amount of time I have in a day. Anyhow, I was just thinking and thought I would leave a little footprint here for the day. Yesterday when I thought about NOT being limited to photography I remembered that I have this spot-lisaheuer instead of lisaheuerphotography. I am REALLY wanting to learn more about filmaking. I am addicted to learning.

KEEPING UP WITH PROJECTS

I feel like 2011 came swooping in and I forgot all th things I wanted to do. Anyhow, I have a personal project related to my photography and my life that I am doing this year (tried last year but failed). Just a photo a day with some info. If you are interested in keeping up with my project, follow me on my flickr page.

I’d love comments below the picture, if you can figure out how to do it. : )

Until I get on top of all the things I had swimming in my head, that’s all I can do for now. You can also see more detailed info on my photography website-the link is over there on the right.

A winter break

I’m not quiet feeling into the groove… I have spent far too much time on the computer, getting ready for 2011 in the biz world, figuring out what I am doing and what I want to be doing. I am in a funk-unexplainable. For now (or until another scheduled post hits the blog), I will leave you with this… I found it floating around my old blog. : ) Its good!

Awesomeness: When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome again. True story.

Its real

The pool drama

I gave up and hired a pool man! Do you see all the stuff on the bottom of my pool? ARGH!!!!

A little secret

lisa — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 06:30:18 +0000

OK, this needs to stay between me, myself and I.

We had painters come the other day to fix all the walls that had patches of undecided colors, holes from previous decor, staples, markers, putty, etc. When they were here I was thinking how wonderful it was to have such a detail oriented crew-moving everything out of the way, covering everything with plastic, and taking all things off the wall UNTIL I saw this…

I suddenly was feeling gross. I couldn’t believe that the back of my refrigerator looked like THIS. HOW could it be? I am a pretty clean person. I was wishing they weren’t so thorough because not only do I now know (and might have to throw up) but now THEY know too. This is not good. Not good at all. What is worse is the amount of time it took to clean this. I have no idea what it was but it wanted to stay there for good. I scraped, rubbed, scrubbed, and wiped until this section of my floor looked like the rest (which may been just as messy-but that is neither here nor there). When is the last time you cleaned behind your refrigerator? Am I the only one that has completely forgotten that a floor exists back there?

The good news… I found my Costa Vida magnet. : )

What is twitter?

lisa — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:26:35 +0000

You’ve seen the little blue square with a “t” in it, right? I remember hearing the term “Twitter” and wondering what it meant to tweet, and to who, and WHY? Then, I was sent this Twitter explanation on YouTube. Ah-hah. I loved the idea and was excited to use it. I linked it up to Facebook and started playing-like talking when no one is listening. Just thought I would take note of Twitter. Certainly, one day it will be replaced by something else and I will be telling my great grandchildren about how cool it was while being driven around in their flying cars…

a musical moment (again)

I could write so much every Thursday night but it would always say the same thing… it was amazing, the Spirit is so strong, my testimony was strengthened, I love to sing, the talent is fabulous, etc. BUT tonight we sang with the full orchestra and WOW. I almost couldn’t sing because I was holding back my tears-tears that spoke the truthfulness of the words we are singing, tears that couldn’t express what this music is doing for me, tears that testified of the Savior and the Atonement, tears that just meant I was so incredibly touched and moved.

If I could sit in a corner and observe I would feel blessed. The fact that I am a part of this is more than a blessing! I’m so excited to be a part of this choir.

And, I will say that every time I take on something new, something else gets put to the back burner in my life. I can only keep so many balls up in the air. We all come to a point in our life-several times in our lives-when you determine what to keep and what to let go. It is a process of molding, changing, learning, growing and understanding. Sometimes things will be important, sometimes they won’t. Seasons come and seasons go. I love that about my life-I don’t have to be doing the same thing and thinking the same thing with the same route forever. Change is good and it is the only thing constant in life!

narcissistic

I watched Julie & Julia yesterday. Let me tell you what a treat it was to sit on the couch, socks keeping my feet warm, house quiet. It was an indulgence that I was truly enjoying. I was reminded that I rarely take time to sit. Anyhow, the movie was wonderful-about food and writing. A great combination. I realized that I think like Julie. She was always so anxious to write. She wanted to appease her people (except I don’t have people). She loved to write. She loved to document. She loved to have commitments and stick to them. Her husband referred to her as narcissistic-Tim hasn’t said that yet but he did tell me that I needed to stop thinking the world wouldn’t go around if I didn’t pay attention to QCF or the blog. WHAT? People don’t need me? I could melt into the woodwork and nobody would notice? I don’t write for people, I write for me but in a weird sense that somebody is waiting to hear what I have to say… like my kids are sitting by the fire in their old age reading my stories and anxious to get to the next. It is a good feeling to be needed (even if you make it up yourself) and not a good feeling to NOT be needed. I try to write often, not to get far behind. Some months are better than others and some seasons are better than others. Sometimes I can’t stop talking and others I can’t think of what to say. This season and month happens to be a “not so much to say” type of month. I am busy and trying to juggle it all. I am always trying to find ways to cut back. But for now even though I am allowed to think that people need this-my writing- I know it isn’t true and so sitting back for a bit is fine. It doesn’t need to be on the to do list. It doesn’t need to be something that I am concerned about getting done.

I do want to take time to read, to walk, to listen and write when I can… : )

Our Easter Concert

lisa — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 17:44:34 +0000

Family and Friends,
Most of you now know that Zoe and I belong to the East Valley Mormon Choral Organization – or EVMCO. They held their inaugural concert in December and received very enthusiastic praise, I attended and it was amazing. They received feedback that speaks for itself, like "I had no idea!", "I’ll never miss another concert.", and "This really isn’t just another Mormon choir". After hearing the concert myself, I was determined to be part of something so amazing.

Our organization includes over 330 members, including an adult choir, a full symphony orchestra, and professional children’s and youth choruses. It is no exaggeration when I tell you that this is a serious professional organization, and perhaps, like nothing you’ve ever experienced before.
I would like to invite you to join us for our first concert of 2010, titled "That Easter Morn". The music is absolutely beautiful, and I know that you will want to make this concert a tradition during the Easter season.
Ticket prices range from $15 to $39 at the box office, and worth every dime. If you order online or by phone there are additional fees.
Please consider supporting this wonderful organization.
