Angela Giles Klocke » Southern Colorado Writer & Photographer

  • Welcome to my personal blog…

     
    When I die I hope they say, “She sure lived and loved each day.”

    I am a God-loving wife of 1 (I'm all New Testament like that), mom of 3+, and a full-time student, writer, and photographer. I live my life in Colorado, surrounded by love and smiles and family and friends - and cameras and books.

    The purpose of my blog is to celebrate life - mine and yours. Obviously it focuses on mine and those around me, but I hope that in sharing my life (through words and pictures), you will be moved or inspired or just want to laugh.

    Thriving is my thing!

Turning right, right, right…hey, I recognize that tree!

In 2008, I started my educational journey at the local community college. I went in without a clue. I signed up for a business degree. A business degree? Oh, that’s funny! It is so far away from anything I’d really want to do that I was more scared than excited. By the end of the…

The journey is long

I’m giving myself 20 minutes to free-write the junk in my head before I release it for the day and move on. Today marks 14 years. Fourteen years since his life ended and mine began. Fourteen years of traveling through guilt, recovery of self, sadness, happiness, relief, more guilt, and patching up wounds that never…

Of writing and photography and burning out and moving forward

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.” -Ansel Adams Over the last year, I’ve been eyeball-deep in photography. I was burned out on writing as a whole. I saw it coming and I let the fire burn out anyway. I even let writing…

Your life is NOT over

Open Letter to Pregnant and/or Parenting Teenagers Dear Young Mothers, I know you. I’ve been you. In many ways, I still am you, minus the middle of the night wake-ups to feed baby. I still have the same children I gave birth to when I was young (14), and I’m still too young to have…

I don’t make my bed

Dear Friends, Coming back to blogging (or not – ha ha ha!) feels kind of like coming home again. Which is…so opposite of where I was a month ago. I was really really really REALLY sure I was done with this. I had thought about it for months. I really had. Why is it the…
