My grandfather sent this to my grandmother Christmas 1952 while he was in the Navy. It might be the most romantic, sweetest thing I have ever read. I cherish this card. I know they are looking down on me and my whole family this lovely holiday. I will meet my soul mate soon, just like my grandparents, I have a feeling they will send him my way the moment I’m not expecting it! Cherish your family and friends like no other, it doesn’t matter how many gifts Santa left under the tree, all that matter is love sweet love! Merry Christmas to YOU!!

It’s been ten long years and I still have yet to recover. I pray you never experience loss like I have but I’m afraid it’s just something we cannot avoid. So, hold on to the ones you love as long as you can and never take a moment for granted. I love you Ma, forever and always. I am a firecracker; staunch, feisty and genuine. These qualities I’ll always attribute to you. miss you.  (Taken with instagram)

Today.

Today, I thought I saw a ghost.

My heart sunk to my buckling knees,

my lungs took one final breath.

I was shaken to the core.

If only it was, it couldn’t have been… you.

I had a dream last night that I was hanging out with the members of *NSYNC… my fantasy life hasn’t changed much in the past fifteen years.

If you open your eyes, love is everywhere.

If you open your eyes, love is everywhere.

Adele - “Rumour Has It”

Tonight I decided to make these tasty treats for the first time for my wonderful brother, Christopher:

When I finished, it reminded me of one of my favorite movies and then I remembered it was The Sonny Side of Chér Sunday Funday! My second week in and I almost forgot! So, while Cher did not win an Oscar for this performance, I still hold it with high regards:

Mermaids has and will always be one of my favorite films. It’s just one of those films from my childhood that I can watch over and over and it never gets old! When I’m a mother I have a feeling I’m going to take a lot of cooking cues from this movie.


EDIT: I posted the recipe I used for the Fruity Pebbles Marshmallow Treats on this lovely blog.

Everyone wants to know my thoughts of the marriage… here you go, have a video. I left him so I could learn to love myself, now that I answered your question, I’m going to go get back to doing just that. I wish him the best, always have, always will.

The next time you show up in my dreams unannounced, my fist will tango with your face before our lips do meet.

Sobriety has cleared my head in ways I never even thought were possible. Now that the dizzy spell has passed away, every creative cell in my body are fighting their way through my fingertips. I’m through with surrounding myself with people who need to escape from their own selves. Love cannot flourish hiding under abandoned houses and I’m a walking testimonial. Every morning I wake up and discover something new about myself that I had long forgotten or worse off, never discovered. For many years I was convinced I could never be seen as anything more than an empty vessel, all from trauma I endured all those years ago; I’m now beginning to see myself as an oyster. An alluring oyster, from pain comes beauty. The pearl has finally started to take shape. 

I haven’t made these statements in quite some time: I’m a writer. I’m a photographer. I’m a lover. I have these gifts that grant me access to see the world differently than any other. Its time now for me to start sharing my gifts and holding myself accountable in ways I never had. Friends, I ask you now to support me the way I have always supported you and together we will shine amongst the greatest of our hollow generation. Its time to start living in the present; out of my dreams and away from my past. I’m finally present, are you?

To all my friends, near but mostly far, Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day! I love ALL of you.

This boy has awakened my soul. I am already a better person for knowing him and he would say the same for himself. This is what it is suppose to feel like. When you meet someone and you&#8217;re both willing to prosper, sacrifice and be better for each other, I think that&#8217;s when you know. All my failures were just training grounds, I am sure; this is what it was all for. you. I&#8217;ve never quite believed in anything before quite like I believe in this. and myself. and you.
