Title: Dionne
Journaling Text:

IDENTITY - When I became a mother of triplets, not only did I instantly have my hands full, but some how I lost my NAME. There are so many people who recognize me by site while I am going about my busy life. They all refer to me as the Triplet Mom or that lady who has triplets and so on. While I may have lost my NAME, I most certainly have not lost my IDENTITY. I am a Mother, a Wife, a Daughter, a Friend and a Person who is just doing the best I can each and every day.

PASSIONATE - I have an internal need to push myself and strive for more, never resting, even after I reach pre-determined goals. It’s never enough, as soon as one goal is crossed off the list I waste no time replacing it with something even more challenging. I don’t like to call my nature compulsive, but rather PASSIONATE about the things I take on.

FAITH -My feeling is that God blessed me with more then I could have hoped for when he chose me to become an instant Mother of Three beautiful kids. Now talk about upping the anti on me in a big hurry. Not to worry, I am up for this challenge I welcome it with open arms – I just wish I had one extra arm – so I could hold all my babies at one time. My FAITH will carry me.

LIFE - When strangers on the street stop and ask me “how I do it” I share my favorite motto “FAILURE is not an Option”. It true, that is my motto, which simply boils down to get it done; take care of things; so don’t miss out, there’s a lot of good stuff to enjoy in this world. LIFE is Not Going To LiVE ItSelf!!!

HISTORIAN - When I was 19 years old I worked at the California State Archives. How could I know that many years later I would become my families own HISTORIAN? Documenting all the little and big events, pouring heart and soul into layouts so that they are not forgotten, so that the viewer can feel the moment that the photos was taken even if they were not there, a place to preserve the words that describe what that moment was to us when we lived it. This is more than putting pretty decorations on a page; this is a record of our special moments, our hopes, our dreams and our love for each other as a family. Yes, this is more than pretty pictures.

INSPIRATION – Oh it’s everything and everywhere, flooding my head all the time. I do my best to capture my random and sometimes fleeting thoughts by stashing little notebooks everyway (yes, everywhere); I jot crazy notes, half thoughts, sketches, whatever pops into my over-burdened mind. I tear those little pages out and (the ones that I don’t lose) really do turn into scrapbook layouts.
