Be Stronger Today Than Yesterday...

Yesterday I was talking to a girl I’ve known for years, we work for the same company and over the last few months she and I have build a pretty good friendship, but back to the point of my story, she recently left a long relationship and has been venting a lot to me a lot. I’m trying to offer the best advice I can because  she’s dealing with a lot but one thing that has come out of all of this is how grateful I am to be married to such a wonderful man!  It’s so difficult out there for single people trying to find the right person! I can tell just by listening to her!

So back to my point, relationships are hard and after listening for months to my friend vent, I have come to this conclusion and I think she has as well. (BTW: you kinda need to know the back story: she was cheated on and found out on Valentine’s Day)  

Being in love is great and if you’re lucky enough to find your true love (like me, sorry don’t mean to brag but its true) then that’s great. But if not and you get stuck with someone who doesn’t care about you then what you will one day realize is that it’s no big lose to you, you lived and you loved and it didn’t work out, that person wasn’t worth your time in the first place and rather you realize it today or next year, you’re a better and stronger person because of everything that has happened!

In this last few months that my friend has gone through all this heartache she has transformed and is doing so much better! I can tell by talking to her and listening to her and seeing her that she has grown and is still growing and I love this so much, she didn’t let it get the best of her! I'm all about girl power and being strong and I look at her with a great respect because of how she handled this situation!

Midsummer’s Night:

June 21-22 is traditionally Midsummer linked to the summer solstice, the stars and the rotation of the sun in relation to the earth. So I started thinking about the whole idea and concept behind a Midsummer’s Night Dream by William Shakespeare and its all about twisted and tangled love. One person is set to marry someone else but that person is not in love with them but is instead is in love with a completely different person… Oy Vey, it’s complicated but got me to thinking about love and all that comes into play with relationships and what I like to call “coupledom”…  Could Midsummer really be true, can our hearts be affected by the stars and moon? Who really knows?







But all of this gave me a spectacular idea! Why not create your own Midsummer’s Night Dream in a park or better yet in your own backyard and see what transpires between the players! Since Midsummer brings shortened days and fewer hours of sunlight this will be perfect for an evening picnic event. Use tea lights (candles) or Chinese lanterns to help set the scene. As for food, I’d suggest delicate meals like finger sandwiches, summer salads, pink champagne, and petit fours deserts with an added touch of flowers.  Make sure there is plenty of seating such as scattered pillows and small throw rugs and for an added bonus, toss some de-stemmed flowers all around.

You’re now ready for your misadventure in love!

From My Heart To Yours...

February is the month of love and though Valentines Day had come and gone, it doesn’t mean we can’t still take a little time to show some love!

Ever wonder why we only really celebrate love once a year when love is the one thing that brings everything full circle!

Well today I decided to list a few things that I really love about myself! We all have to learn love ourselves more, we have enough people in our lives making it hard enough so today is my day to mentally pamper myself!!

What I love about myself:

• I have a great smile (I should show it off more)
• I love to read (knowledge is everything)
• I’m helpful and kind to others (best way to be)
• I love my long hair (fluffy and soft)
• I love my adventurous spirit (whoot whoot!!)
• I’m focused, when I put my mind to it! (yeah, if I put my mind to it)

So there you have it, a few things I love about myself! Show yourself some love and list what you love about yourself!
