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!

“I believe that every person is born with talent.”

-Maya Angelou One of my very favorite things is to watch young artists develop their talents and grow. I love showcasing their work and talking about them (bragging, really). I’ve shared some of my eldest son’s writing before, and recently my daughter’s poetry. (I’m waiting to see where my middle child’s artistic interests are.) I…

Following Jesus leads to $$$

Today I am writing not as some Bible scholar (Lord knows I’m not, no pun intended), but as someone who has read the Bible cover to cover a couple of times, someone who is still struggling to understand much of what I have read, how I’ve read it, and how I’m still reading it. I…

10 Random Things

1 – I never name inanimate objects, since I usually forget their name anyway, but I did name my Kindle: Flufflesquizz! The husband said because of this, I’m not allowed to name our future RV. 2 – We’ve grown too dependent on emoticons, and because of such, if a person doesn’t include eleventy-katrillion smiley faces…

Poetry breathes from my soul

Eh. The thing is, I love poetry. I just don’t have a great history of writing it in a way that makes people go, “Ooooooh, poetry!” Usually, it’s more like, “Thank you for sharing.” Yeah. Every once in a while, I think I write something in a blog post or my book(s) that sounds poetic,…

So much new, so much shiny!

First of all, I love a new day. I love the whole chance to begin again, to wipe the TO DO LIST clean, to be completely (hopefully) refreshed. A new month can often do the same. But a new year? Totally the bomb! Normally, though, I am anxious for a new year because the previous…

I don’t have anything to say, but I don’t reckon that’s ever stopped me before

When you have a million things on your mind – ideas, plans, thoughts, scriptures, menus, budgets, etc. – it’s funny how it all boils down to feeling like you have nothing to say. I mean, I obviously have something to say, but I’m not sure it falls into a neat little package. Does it ever?…

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…
