My heart is a deep chasm of love,
Feelings cherished as a gift from above,
Two hearts that will beat as one,
Like no other under the sun.

My heart is yours now and forever,
To you I’ll gladly surrender,
May these feelings leave me never,
For I know you’ll treat me tender.

We’ll take each others hands,
And walk through times golden sands,
Forever and just one more day,
In this cocoon of love we’ll Read More...

I happen to love the television show, Dancing with the Stars, and I have often admired the dancing shoes that the women wear on the show.  I will admit to a sort of shoe habit, and I think I have mentioned it on here before, so I notice shoes quite often.

I found dance shoes just like the ones that the ladies wear on the show, and I am so excited!  Now, not that I am going on the show, or that I will be dancing Read more…

Let me love you,
For you’re in my soul,
Let me love you,
For you live in my heart.

Let me care,
Because you mean the world to me,

For it’s all I have to give,
Let me keep you in my soul,
For it’s where you will always live.

Let me honor your caring,
For it’s all I want to do,
Let me love you forever,
For Read More...

And to promote the release of the movie New Moon, Robert Pattinson (Edward) and Kristen Steward (Bella) did a glamorous photo shoot for Harper’s Baazar magazine that is coming out this month.

I have to say that looking at the photos that they shot, they really upped the glam level, and also the playful side of them both too!!

You can see another photo from the shoot over on Soy Wax Candles Blog, where I did a quick writeup of the photo shoot. Read more…

It is heartbreaking and painful. Most of the time, it also leaves hideous black and blue marks, bruises and contusions. There are more unfortunate ones who don’t survive to tell their story.

It can happen to anyone– your mom, your best friend, your neighbor or office mate. Or, worse, it can happen to YOU.

This ugly truth is called Domestic Violence. Read more…

Christmas is surely coming mighty quick, and I am just not prepared for it!  I would love to see family and friends this year, but I just don’t have it in my budget. I have heard of emergency loan lenders, that will loan you the money quickly and easily to help with things like this, that are not a regular thing, but a once in a lifetime opportunity.

If I could get a little loan to help with the finances this Holiday season, then maybe the Holiday reunion isn’t such Read more…

I don’t ask for starry eyed bliss,
Just the taste of your sweet kiss,
Or the embrace I can’t resist,
For only that is what I’d truly miss.

I won’t ask for the sun or the moon,
Just the love that makes me swoon,
Wrapped up in this emotional cocoon,
In feelings that won’t leave too soon.

I don’t ask for reason or rhyme,
Just those tender moments of time,
That would never be denied,
And will Read More...

This poem is for every woman that made it
Who’s life did not end
With them laying in a casket
The pain and shame you felt
You were too proud to admit
Lying to the police
Because you were afraid to tell them
Of the crimes he did commit
Walking around with kid gloves
Don’t’ know when he would break out into a fit
Because you know you would be the first one Read more…

I’ve been purchasing my shoes from Shoebuy.com for about 5 years now. It started when my husband found a pair of shoes at a specialty wide shoe store. He was born with club feet and wears orthotics in his shoes, so buying shoes that fit is not easy. But once he found the pair that worked best for him (at quite a high price I might add), I decided to try Shoebuy.com. I found the same pair of shoes in several colors at a dramatically reduced price. Read more…

A good friend of mine, Bambi, has started a blog and wrote the most amazing story that happened to her, and I would love you all to read it here.  It is called Blessings, and it touched my heart and soul.

It reminded me of the many times that I have done something similar, and the thought made me wonder if any of you have ever had the same thing happen?  Or maybe an altogether different kind of experience?

We all should look out for each other and help whenever we can. It truly Read more…

Black Friday is a big deal in our family. Every year my daughter gets up at the crack of dawn to try and beat other shoppers and get the best deals she can on Christmas presents. Me, I am looking forward to Black Friday 2009 Online Deals, just like I did last year!  I have had enough of the pushing and shoving and the yelling that makes up the busiest day of the year for shoppers and retailers.

For many years I too was one of those crazy shoppers who had to get out early, before all the Read more…

Angels Are All Around Us

Angel winked her pretty sparkle.

A pin point of illumination, they

appear all around us.

Some have perceived or others reject as

imagination.

Nothing to me will steal their thunder because

travelers’ linking, world’s workers for

the Lord.

Wings in voyage, but not fantasy these

aren’t fairies.

A quick flicker of an eye you may encounter

Cradle me with your warmth,
Seduce me with your smile,
Hold my heart with tender hands,
Walk with me through the sands of time.

Play me the music of your heart,
Dance me to the end of our days,
Let me know your very soul,
For in love together we’ll lay.

You’ve captured my heart completely,
I’ve fallen so very deeply,
My hearts pieces itself together sweetly,
And this love is for you only.

With my heating system just getting fixed in time for winter, and the cost of heating bills, in addition to the groceries and the electric bill and the mortgage, I am having a hard time finding extra cash that I will need for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.

I think this year I might be making some of the Christmas presents that I give out, if only to save a little money that is very hard to come by. I know that I can make some beautiful gifts that people will love and use, so unless I can find some hidden Read more…

Every morning the sky shines bright. Another night with you and all in the world is right.

Last night I held you in my dreams all night long. Snuggled up close; hearts in rhythm swaying to a tender song.

The afternoon sun is warm against my cheek. I close my eyes and smile as your hand brushes back my hair. They come back Read more…

Lately, I experienced some weird changes in my body (and mind as well) that left me wondering if these are symptoms of an illness or just plain psychosomatic episodes. Was I going crazy?

And then I came across an article in a magazine which discussed burning health questions, particularly hormonal imbalance and hot flushes in women. It talked about Menopause but I could relate to some of the symptoms that were mentioned there despite the fact that I am only 42 and definitely not of menopausal age yet. For a woman Read more…

There is another house for sale in our neighborhood. This time it is a 4 bedroom, 2 ½ bath Colonial style with a fully finished basement. Nicely landscaped. Fenced in back yard. Upgraded kitchen. A million delightful family memories await, from Homecoming pictures on the stairs to a majestic Christmas tree in the front room to freshly baked chocolate cookies gently cooling on the granite island.

This is perhaps the fourth or fifth home we have seen listed within just the last few months in our subdivision. We live in a modest suburb located about Read more…

I am back…Sort of….
I had to buy a whole new computer, and this one has the new operating system in it… Windows 7, and I am having a really hard time!! It keeps freezing on me!! I can’t be on my browser for very long before it freezes, so I will save this and add to it as I can.

I want to give a sincere thank you to everyone who still came by and who stuck with us through this very stressful time!! You are all the best, and I wish I could give you all hugs!!! Read more…

A flower blooms when it is ready.
The sun and the rain are friends that
help on its way.
Tomorrow will come tomorrow…
What is important is all that you do today.

“Is this okay with you?” I asked my 13 year old daughter, Jazmine. “This”, referring to the Sun that has become a part not only of my life but my children’s as well.

“I have never seen you this happy, Mommy. No one has ever Read more…

We play bingo for charity to raise money for the local animal shelter here in town, and I just heard about a new law that is being considered in California, where they are not letting charities use the electronic Bingo machines, and are forcing them to use the old fashioned paper and ink daubers.

Bingo is one of the easiest and cheapest ways that we can raise money to help these little creatures, and if the Read More...
