Things I found #1 (Debut)

September 9, 20131 Comment

It’s no surprise, I like spending time online. I listen to music, chat with friends, watch videos and I read. Boy, do I read. I figured I’d share some of the stuff that I find interesting.

Liar, Liar! – “A new study shows that 62 per cent of us pretend to have read classic novels in order to appear more intelligent.”

Take a peek! – Look inside someone’s closet.

Video: Welcome to World – Why Poverty?
““Welcome to the World” travels around the globe to examine the lottery of childbirth. Directed by Brian Hill for the Why Poverty? series, the documentary profiles three impoverished women having babies in the U.S., Cambodia and Sierra Leone and looks at the different options and chances that greet the world’s youngest citizens.”

I think many of us wonder if we did something wrong to cause our #miscarriage. You didn't. It's not your fault. xx

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, unless you’re Todd’s uncle on Breaking Bad last night. He apparently misses every shot.

Photo: Empty

One of the ways I deal with my grief, pain, experience, whatever-you-want-to-call-it is through creative expression. Whether it be with my camera, iPhone or my own hands, I love to create.

This particular image I took the next night after my D&E procedure. I remember I couldn’t sleep. I was tossing and turning until 4:30 am. I took this photo in the dark, because that’s where I felt I was. And after I applied some Instagram filter, it created the image I wanted to depict:
An empty womb.

XO, Isabel
