VALENTINE'S DAY EVE

Valentine's Day is one of my FAVORITE holidays!  A day devoted to LOVE LOVE LOVE!  Yes, I know all the anti-lovers are whining about the commercialism of the holiday, the expense, the running around for gifts, candy and of course flowers.  I ignore THOSE folks because as Hallmark expresses in their new campaign...It's a day not to celebrate you, but a day to say I love US.  BEAUTIFUL!

Seriously, aside from all the forced romantic overkill, love has its place and although many us express our love for one another everyday I wanted to share my favorite defining verse on the subject.  Believe me it doesn't get any better than Corinthians 13: 1-13.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13 -

Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Chrisette Michele..Blame It On Me..song & lyrics

One of the best "Break-Up" songs ever! I just discovered this song and man-oh-man I needed it!

STUCK

I have decided to change my mind about being stuck.  Even though it may feel like I am, I am not.  I think being stuck is really cocooning and any minute a break through is going to happen.  This is how I am choosing to move forward.

I used to stay stuck on being stuck.  I used to think that the only way out is to wait.  Waiting is not the answer and yet it is the answer.  I can wait while doing...tending to my life.  Being stuck affords me the opportunity to attend to the places in my life that are causing me a bit of grief or unhappiness.  Being stuck isn't a license to whine, pout and do nothing.  Being stuck is perhaps the greatest opportunity to move in an ENTIRELY NEW DIRECTION... and really end the negative thoughts and drama that seem to keep you mired in mess.


Change my mind to change my life.  Stuck? Think again, I may just need to flip the script and move in an entirely new direction.

This Time I'll Be Sweeter Angela Bofill

Yep, I am feeling just like this.... This time I'll be sweeter. It is amazing how clear we get when everything we ever wanted we destroyed and we are left rebuilding from the ground up. The hardest part about rebuilding a loveship is knowing that you were responsible for the damage in the first place. Yep, I am coming clean...oh not here. Where I should have been all along...

SNOW 2011....THEY LOVE IT!

My kids have been praying for a big snow storm (bigger than the one last week)... I on the other hand have been counter-praying for NO SNOW! Well apparently God liked their prayers better because we got 20 inches! UUUGGHHHH! Thanks Margeaux & Khalil.

COME BEARING GIFTS....

Perhaps this post ought to be posted over at PCHATS...

I am a woman for making love round' midnight.  I love the wee hours of the night, well before daybreak.  I like the way the house is quiet and the only sound that can be heard is heaving breath and hushed whispers.

I love low sexy talk and witty banter and hands and legs entwined.  I love making love.

My libido has grown over the years.  My desires have become more acute.  I can't imagine not having a robust sex life now that I have rediscovered passion.  I love to have the back of my spine licked.  I love lots of pillows on my bed.  I love champagne and vegan chocolates and fresh cut flowers...roses, peonies, orchids.  I have discovered flame less candles...I can sleep by candlelight and not burn down my house.  I am a woman for mood. 

I love high thread count sheets washed and rinsed in lavender.  I love Oscar Peterson playing in the background. I am a woman for sights and sounds and taste and touch.

This isn't about being horny.  That I can take care of....  This is about romance and making love.  A wonderful day spent, a lovely evening lingering, a steamy night to get lost in.

It is fantasy and reality and drama and desire converging on the alter of my king-sized bed.  It is taking time again and again and again and again.  It is the long slow kiss.  The long slow caress.  The long slow stroke.

I am in the mood for romance and making love.  Not a quickie up against a wall or on a couch.  There is time and place for that.  I want want want want want deliberate, long playing, breath catching, earth moving, love making, complete with picnic in bed and love poems recited.

Perhaps this is my mood indigo.  Perhaps this is a prayer.  In any case it is now spoken into the universe with an expectation that someone will come bearing these gifts.
