Our Intimacy…

It was an early Sunday morning, we lay side by side with only the street light illuminating the interior of the room. My dark meaty pecan leg stretched out and nestled atop his olive tinted thigh, his hand lay on my thigh creating a gentle warmth that said, “I’ll always be here to protect you”…this was our intimacy and I loved sharing it with him here in the early morning silence of our bedroom where the only sounds came from the hum of the fans and the gentle sounds of his slumbered breathing.

Luckily…I Married My Best Friend

I may question many things in this life; what I want to be when I grow up, what career am I really suppose to focus on, where should my next vacation be or what should I make for dinner?

However, the one constant, reliable, and thing I know without a doubt, is that “Luckily, I married my best friend.”

Understand that we were not bff’s when we married, nope we grew into those roles over time. See he knows me almost and sometimes better than I know myself. He loves me with his whole-heart, he holds nothing back. He savors our time together as he knows that our days are numbered. He makes me laugh often and most times until I’m in tears. He is patient, loving, kind and understanding; but again he is my best friend, my life partner and my protector.

What man agrees to remarry you every year for the next twelve years…luckily, I’m marrying and remarrying my best friend and it is he who assures me daily that my happiness is his happiness and our happiness is all that matters in our world.

…where my heart lies

I love watching, listening and just being beside my spouse while he sleeps.

Probably, within a year or so after we married we discovered just how important functioning as a team; one unit would be. Early in our marriage we begin working opposite schedules and that scheduled separation lasted over seven of our thirteen years. Of course, this separation taught us to truly value our time together awake and or asleep.

That in no way should cause one to believe that we crowd one another, but totally the opposite…we enjoy spending time together, but also acknowledge and respect that we need time apart (however unlike many wives, I prefer to travel with my spouse) and most times, I prefer his company over anyone else.

I often snap photos of him asleep, because watching him and being near him gives me security and also because in his slumber he reminds me of the innocence and peace you see only in small children…and he is totally lovable!

Create Your Own Happy! Pt 1

Have you ever wondered from where happiness comes, how it begins or why we’re entitled to it? My belief is we must each create our own happy.

Dance with your heart

It is my sincere hope, my desire and my dream to always dance to the beat of my drum. To hear the music playing if only in my head. To allow the beauty of what I hear, what I see and what I feel be passed to those who are unable to move to rhythmic vibrations that grow from deep within the pit of my body causing my pulse to race, my face to flush and my heart to pound until I’m certain that the next beat will cause it leap outside of my chest.

I move as I speak with the integrity of my determination and a belief in tomorrow and your voice is mute to me.

Knowing and Doing

There is truth in this sentiment and I am not afraid to admit it, I am still learning everyday. I am learning about the world, the people I encounter and of course myself.

Before I was a woman, I was a girl. I laughed, I cried, I wished and I believed. When I be came a woman, I laughed, I cried, I wished and I believed. As a mother I have failed, I’ve fallen, I’ve nurtured, I’ve taught, I’ve learned, but most of all I have passed it on.

The world extends a lesson to me everyday that I am blessed to open my eyes. People I have encountered have taught me to look behind the mask they initially choose to display as it is rarely who or what they truly are. Learning about myself is a never ending task, opportunity and adventure.

Something to consider…

The right direction ❤

I personally find performing “Random Acts of Kindness” empowering, because the act of giving something without any expectations has led me to amazing gifts.

When thinking about what you have to share or give, look inward first.
