Dear World, I was in my thoughts today and I thought of HIM. Couldn't express the feelings in a way that made sense so of course you get some quick poetry.  Thanks for allowing me to purge and go about my day which is going great by the way contrary to the thoughts expressed.   Until next time... Curly Girl     I heard a song today And it reminded me of him. The first thing I wanted to do was call- To hear his baritone vibrate through my phone But conversation now seems like a distant memory I remember jokes and debates about the minor things The way his freckles always appear in the summer time. That he always knew just how to touch me. I always felt safe in his arms and believed he felt the love he professed to me. Too bad the major things that always turned out to not be so major, always made him run away. What we had was simply too intense to slow those fast feet and fearful heart...

Dear World,   I'm sure many of you have heard the old Indian tale of the Two Wolves. If you have not the story goes something like this.  An old wise man speaks to his son about the battle that goes on inside of people.  He explains that the battle is between two wolves inside of us.  The first wolf is bad having characteristics of anger, resentment, guilt, and every other negative trait.  The second wolf is good and embodies joy, peace love, truth, etc.  After thinking about the story the son asks the son which one wins to which the old man replies the one that we feed the most.    I share this tale because lately I feel like the individual with two wolves.  Not necessarily wolves battling good or bad but life pursuits. Maybe it is not even two different wolves rather one wolf with two perspectives of life.  Here is an example.  Relatio...

Dear World, Today I feel pretty.  Not just the shallow word used by the nice aunt in the family that makes the best sweet potato pies.  Not the type of pretty that have parents swell with pride when looking at their genetic creation.  It's not even the pretty that gets occasional likes from selfies posted on social networks. Oh no!  It's the type of pretty that when you wake up, you feel like the epitome of everything it means to be a woman pretty.  It’s the type of pretty that has you waking up feeling as if you have a second skin.  This skin has a glow and although you have touched it a thousand times on this day the water from your morning bath permeates every pore and every follicle of hair.  The type of pretty that have you lingering just a few minutes longer savoring the caress as you put on your morning oils and lotions.  The type of pretty that has you touch...

Only three steps away from the crackling fire, I am nestled in an oversized sofa with my favorite cashmere throw.  The candle warmer is working overtime emitting the fragrance of soft powder and jasmine wax purchased at the candle boutique days earlier and the music in the distance is a mix of smooth jazz and oldies.  I peer out the large bay window of the great room at the most picturesque vision. A mountain peak is covered in thick sheets of snow....Screeeeeeeech!!! All of this this would be amazing if it were real. However, the harsh reality is much less entertaining.  I am sitting here at my work desk covered in manila file folders drinking my morning cocoa and wishing this dream was my current situation.  One day it will be. That I am sure of. But right now I feel the itch of another escape surfacing and what is a curly girl to do? Draft my travel itinerary for 2015!!! This itinerary includes everything from tropical beach excursions, exo...

Hello World!   I've missed you!  I have been soooo busy lately.  I know I may sound so cliché right now but I really am.  However, I just can't stay away from you for too long.  So as I was going through my posts, I noticed that I did not submit the last post about dating.  However, I believe I want to keep this one short and sweet.    I saw a photo today posted by one of my Facebook friends and I must say it struck a cord with me. It is a beautifully illustrated image of a woman and man on a date. I began thinking about my dating life and the ones I've had over the years. Some were funny, romantic, mind numbing boring, and so amazingly over the top.  However, as I get older the more I realize times have changed.  When did dating become replaced by hanging out? As a 30 plus woman I have a very hard time taking anyone seriously even mentioning this.  Maybe it is a proposition to not scare o...

Hello World, I hope this post finds you all in great spirits as I'm excited to share my short lunch excursion at the museum.  As you may know, I absolutely enjoy every opportunity to experience something new and different.  Although visiting the museum is not a new experience, it has been long overdue for me to make a return visit.  These exhibits did not disappoint as they invoked a host of emotions such as passion, pleasure, pain and love.  I must admit being exposed to so much history and creativity from artists really gets my creative juices flowing.  So my question to you is, "What are some things you do to get inspiration?"        

Dear Future Husband, I thought about you today. Thoughts that consume much of the day and haunt the mind like a weary spirit. Yet, there is no melancholy or sadness only joy on my mind. I thought about all the things I want to share with you.  My secrets, dreams, goals, and of course fantasies. I thought about how I will never give up hope that we will meet and be together soon.  Even though this world has not been so kind, I am saving the best of me just for you. I will never let anyone steal what is rightfully yours. You deserve it. You deserve this. Without meeting I know that you are all I ever wanted, will want and soooo worth the wait.  Where are you? I'm praying for you-for your strength, safety, career, life, hopes and dreams. I'm rooting for you. I'm here for you. Most importantly, I Love you..... Until next time, Your future wife
