HOPE

"We are all TOGETHER
We all have GIFTS to bring to the table
We all have our STRENGTHS
Let's UNITE and bring HOPE!
We walk in this journey with others navigating life together.

Through the passing of our daughter Emily Irene, we have discovered the purpose and meaning of life. We want to help you find that your life has purpose and meaning."
- Cath Adams

We LOVE you, Emily Irene Adams. Your Angel wings are of snow-white feathers of our tears!
Dad, Mom, AJ, and Ashley


I sit, listen, share stories and create a human connection together with others.  This path of transcends into an awareness of compassion and reflection of our present moment.  A continuous change to our meaning and purpose in life!
- Cath Adams

Life through another lens!

1/9/2023

 
"In the midst and panic, chaos, feeling confused, helpless and consumed by emotions that in the moment were impossible to pinpoint I had the opportunity to radically change the prison I seemed to be living inside.
Nature…experiencing nature through another lens, the camera. Being outside, hearing the sounds around me and existing in the present moment gave me a sense of gratitude, peace and ease that had not previously existed."

Street Photography

12/31/2022

 
The last day of 2022, I had the honor to walk with an aspiring photographer, Em in my Awareness Photography outlets. We looked at seeing life differently and opening an awareness of our environment. Here are some "street photography" images captured by Em and her words of reflection:
"Photography is a way to keep the world in a permanent moment. You can inspire yourself and others by taking a few moments to look at the world through a lens and create some new perspectives.

THINK

11/14/2022

 
Whenever I have conversations with school aged kids about the many layers of illicit drugs I ask them to share their thoughts and what they wish to share with others. Here’s one of the cards “THINK” and I reflect on this word.
Is it “THINK” about others
Is it “THINK” about choices
So many meanings “THINK” can carry, but maybe it’s just sitting in silence and “THINK” about the world we live.

Who Am I?

2/4/2021

 
Who Am I?
"I am the rock stuck in a hard place, frozen in ice. I feel the flow of the underlying river bubble around me. It provides direction and shape. It's cold and quiet, yet tranquil. The heat from the rising sun begins to warm and crack the barriers which keep me stuck. I do not move. I instead feel and notice the gentle flow, which is life. I am the frozen rock amongst many in this brilliant winter landscape. I long for connection, and though I am seemingly locked away, the stream connects me to all. I am not alone. It takes time and energy to melt ice. I wait for a warmer season with eagerness and patience."

PLAY

12/18/2020

 
This was Emily's type of play and maybe this is what heaven looks like. Whatever the unknown to me, I know she is flying and her soul is free of this world. She has walked into our lives in many ways that we are so in awe. We absolutely ache for her earthly presence but she has such a stronger presence in our lives watching over us and showing up when we least expect. Whether or not you believe, her spirit has appeared in many lights.
And just like Emily on earth, she is marching into heaven with purpose!

Insta Results

9/20/2020

 
Being creative with instant results
In this world where everything is instant, we tend to become accustomed to the fast-paced lifestyle and lose the essence of "time." However, looking beyond and being creative with the instant cameras can build upon patience and awareness of our environment.
