…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.

R & R…Forward

Much like this photograph, I can see the reflection of yesterday, whilst keeping a keen purview of what is ahead.

Reflection and Rejuvenation this is what I like to do throughout the month of January.

Getting to, through the holidays and ready to ring in the new year always leave me totally spent?

I believe it is important to reflect on who I was, what I accomplished and where I was in the preceding year, how I left it and why it ended the way it did.

I take care to set aside “me” time to properly rejuvenate my spirit by exercising my mind, body and soul. I make every attempt to disavow negativity, I decline participation “in” and ownership “of.” I monitor what and how I treat this temple for it is the only thing I truly possess. I extend love to my friends, family and also strangers, I do this not only in my actions, but also with my words. I share hope without any expectation or reward.

Each day when I open my eyes, I am thankful. I will choose to be refreshed, to have a new perspective and to share that with those I encounter…Forward is my blessing.
