While every picture tells a story and each one is worth a thousand words, I believe photographs tell stories more directly and with more impact and emotion.

The photographs I select to share are the most closely related to the experiences and emotions I have at the time when telling my story.

I have lived through much and found happiness in the simple things in life. This journey hasn’t always been easy or everything I wanted it to be but it has been everything I needed. And because of that I have learned so much about myself and who I am. My experiences have shaped my life in many ways and allowed me to grow in many ways I never thought possible.

I have found peace of mind in being my own person and discovered magic in the world all around me. I have a wonderful family for who I am so grateful and cherish every moment we have together. I have met people on this journey who are kindred spirits and people who are just not meant for my story. And I have learned that sometimes our lives have to be completely shaken up, changed and rearranged to relocate us to the place we’re meant to be.

This is my story… @justsimplyangie

I believe you will make your own connection to the images and while reading any accompanying thoughts, ideas or descriptions with the photographs I share to my Instagram page. I know that when I choose and publish a photograph that image has meaning for me and is just as important as what I have or have not written.
