Life is a Gift
One thing I never understood was, why is something so valuable, more cherished than something free? Love is free. Nature is free. A smile is free. Should they not be more valuable? It is not how much something costs that makes it better, it is how it is given, and how you receive it.
I would rather have a smile or true love, than money any day. And that comes directly from my heart. Because anyone can build an empire, but an empire built with love can only grow warmer.
And from there, your riches can be seen. xo
Kemah Boardwalk
We spent yesterday in Kemah with our nephew Jason and his beautiful girlfriend, Sandra. What a fabulous time! We rode so many fun rides; including the roller coaster (in which my eyes remain closed during the entire ride, and the Drop Zone. 
Ugh, that Drop Zone was scary, but a lot of fun! Sara, myself and Sandra rode first. While going up, we were amazed by the scene as day was slowly coming to an end--the evening sky dressed in the perfect blue and the sounds of summer spilling out against the horizon. We discussed how we would survive if we were to fly out--we came to the conclusion that we were simply out of luck! Just as we began to squirm, we dropped. I do not think I have ever held my eyes so tightly shut, but I was not about to look!
And the roller coaster was a bit bumpy, but was just enough to frighten me. I have no idea why I am such a chicken when it comes to coasters, but I really am working on getting better. The ride was fun. ;)

We also rode the Ferris wheel, where Stefan and I kissed. ;)

After a few rides and the delicious daiquiris that we sipped, we had a late dinner inside Joe's Crab Shack, where Stefan and I shared dungeness crab nachos and chatted with everyone. I never thought I would enjoy anything that like "Crab Nachos", but they tasted fabulous! I sensed a hint of cream cheese within the mixture and simply must have that recipe! They definitely have become a quick favorite of mine.
We really had a great day, it felt good to just relax and smile. The food and drinks were was delightful, surrounded by great conversation and friends. The night was extremely beautiful along the water--the view was unforgettable.
We spent the night there and have arrived back home. I cannot wait to go back.

Define the heart.
"Let us give something to each person we meet: joy, courage, hope, assurance, or philosophy, wisdom, a vision for the future. Let us always give something."

If I am able to bring forth a smile to most of the viewers of my pieces, I have managed much more than I had set out to do... I merely wanted to draw at least one.

Written Beneath the Skin
I woke this morning fantastic. The window ajar,
I heard the birds on the wire, in the trees
they sang the most beautiful of songs
as sun arrived in splendor, brought dreams of
love and mirth, and for a moment
Spring was here.
I imagined it warmed your hands, fingers that
one day might feel excitement, only to leave me
in a dream-like state, inquisitive, moist,
ever so aware-unclothed.
O love, tell me they will discover all that
I have to render! My thighs
[pushthemselvestogethertightly]
at the thought.
Never have I imagined such magnificence
and a boy that can
make it last forever.
I am completely and utterly in love.
And as fervor slides into the lungs
like a breath in the rain, everything
becomes soundless, where even the wren
find it much too wet to sing.

Princess
A letter from from my husband. I enjoy placing his beautiful words into my blog from time to time--it makes my heart happy. :)
"Cher, I'm completely, unconditionally mad about you. Crazy in love with you. I am nothing without you. My breath begins and ends with you. You are my masterpiece, my princess. I am head-over-heels in love with you.
You unleashed unbridled passion when you push yourself upon me, looking into my eyes from above me. Your body, warm and smooth expresses in motion your love for me. I am captivated, enthralled and entranced by you, wholly.
You are gorgeous, and beauty ushers forth from your tender heart engulfing your entire being, evidenced by the smile on your precious face. I simply adore you. I am so proud to be your husband, none and nothing compares to you. Your smile releases immeasurable fireflies in the dark, illuminating untold lives, passing through me in a swarm of emotion, invoking me to desire. Your smile holds the secrets of joy and pleasure, your kiss is love and the knowledge thereof.
To my princess, I bring with me none of the finest of fragrances, frankincense or my-uh, nor can I offer the wealth of a king, I bring to you myself, in the throes of passion, of desire, of want, my hands offer to you all...I give you my heart. Take it unto yourself, hold it, guard it, caress its texture, lines of scars or hurt, with your tough heal the wounds, revive its beat. Nurture and feel it with tenderness, happiness and love. Tenderly kiss the source of my life, warm its core. When you have done these things, open the cavity of your chest and place my heart inside of yours, safe and secure. Two hearts beating as one, one until the celestial majesty crashes deep into the sea.
Cher, you are without doubt, my beautiful princess and I have come to take you away. I will love you always.
Stefan"
Thank you, Baby for how you are. Your words made my heart flutter as if it were a butterfly in itself. You make me feel beautiful, make me feel more loved than I ever have been. I know that I am. It is a great feeling to be married after all these years and still feel as we did the day we first fell in love--the passion igniting over and over again. We work well as a team. Together we are beautiful. I love you more and more each day. 
I adore my prince. He is my heart, my life, my everything.
Now that I have placed this "loveling" into one of the places where my heart and thoughts thrive, I will prepare for sleep.
Good night, sweet world.
-Cher

The Breath of Love
"Cher,
None dare stand against me, the breath of love fills my sails, the force propelling me forward, conquering all. Nothing stands as a wall when love abounds boundlessly, unconditionally and true.
I am who I have become because you live, you breathe.
-Stefan"
(If my memory fails as I grow older, I want to remember everything about you.)

Our love, a trellis of iridescent
fiora--rooted, where darkness
is pressed flat and the sky
undresses the clouds into
the perfect blue.
The subtlest moment,
ours alone. ღ

The Best of the BEST in Interior Design!
Seeking a Top Interior Designer? A Lifestyle Expert? Well, look no further, because I know just the person! Barclay Fryery is the best of the best! I absolutely adore him! Contact Barclay to begin a better lifestyle today! A lifestyle of luxury that will leave your friends covetous!
About Barclay Fryery:
Turn on the TV or radio, pick up a newspaper or magazine, surf the net and you're likely to see Barclay Fryery. He gives new meaning to the term “Million Dollar Man.”
Fryery is a Greenwich, CT-based lifestyle expert, interior decorator, TV host, columnist, author. He has been named one of the top 125 designers in America by "House Beautiful" for four consecutive years. He has also been featured in "Elle Décor," "Maison Francaise..." He decorates for those who are truly chic and for those that want to be - he fusses over the way they dress, the way they decorate, the way they entertain, he teaches them how to “Indulge!”
Barclay was the winning designer on the USA Network's "House Wars" in 2003. You can also catch him as a guest expert on A&E's "Mansions, Monuments & Masterpieces." Fryery has also appeared on "Living it Up! with Ali & Jack", ABC Good Morning America, CBS - The Early Show, Weekend Today in NY-WNBC, Fox & Friends-Fox News Channel, The Flip Side and The Biz-CNNfn, Style Court-E!/Style, Everyday Elegance with Colin Cowie, and Style & Design with Leslie Mueller. Regarding his press appearances, Barclay says, "All my life I have wanted to share everything that's wonderful and help people become fabulous through my design work, radio, TV, print and of course, there's my Web site, he said.
Currently, he is shopping a TV show and book called "Indulge - Seven Ways to a Fabulous Life" - from his own experience he will inspire you to be the very best that you can be. 
"There is simply NOTHING WORSE than seeing someone walk through the halls of their home not looking like they belong there," Fryery insists. In order to create a lifestyle for a client, he looks at the architecture of the home, how the client dresses, what is the flavor of the neighborhood and gives the client an elevation of their current style within their range. He gives them something they never, ever thought they wanted. Some of Fryery's design maxims include: "When in doubt, think symmetry;" "A balanced room is never a bad thing," "Try not to do too matchy-matchy- mix it up," and "Fashion inspires great interiors."
As a creative consultant for very special events (he actually plans them for you) his beat includes fashion shows, museums, auction houses, choice lunches and occasionally Wal-Mart by day; at night it's grand events, openings, galas et all. His professional lifestyle goal is to track down what's hip; what's not. When "House Beautiful" asked him his preferred window treatment, he responded, "Pencil-pleated silk draperies that pull up high, paired with petite bamboo blinds underneath." About his featured layout apartment, he said, "I think the secret of life is learning how to delegate. This place (his apartment) functions like a hotel, which keeps me free to focus on the next project."
In his lifestyle manifesto which introduces a compendium of his work, Fryery defines key style terms: "Style is a distinctive manner; glamour is an essence that encompasses excitement, beauty and charm; elegance is a manner of tasteful grace and refined luxury."

They Say Wisdom is a Journey
I find it wrong for someone to speak negatively about a parent to their child. Unless the other parent abused, it is wrong. During a divorce, personal feelings can cloud judgment and wound the children--good memories fade.
You see, if the other parent feels wronged in some way, they hurt. And with that pain, they spread it to others by saying negative things. Funny, even when they make the other parent go to marriage counseling before they can divorce and it does not work, the pain turns to anger and they really go off the deep end; they try to keep the children and much more. If that person was so bad, why make them go to counseling? They do so because they do not think that person is bad at that time and truly want to save the relationship.
Really, it is so sad for the children involved. What is best for the children should be #1, not what is best for the parents.
My mother never spoke a negative word about my father and set those values within me; she wanted me to know him myself, and not from a one-sided story. I am grateful for her wisdom.
(I just saw a program about it and needed to speak my mind.) ;)

As Intended
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
— Marilyn Monroe
Notes Scattered Along the Trail
...and I will never forget how we loved those warm nights--not for the security of it all, but for the way they witnessed us; moving separately and arriving at one...slowly cooling beneath the summered moon.
Echo
This morning, I stretched across
the bed, my night gown moved
over my hips... I thought of
you.

The Orchard
As adults, we often feel unfulfilled. We feel the need to keep up with the latest trends and so much more--grasp all you can deep inside the orchard!
It is not always about the latest trends, where you go or who you know—accessories, accessories. Sometimes, it is about being unique, discovery, and holding tight to meaningful things. It is about standing out in a crowd of 100 people wearing Prada, adorning a fabulous unknown piece and a smile.
There is so much one can learn to live without and be truly happy--a child-like simplicity.
Like any uncharted territory
I have often wanted to share my heart with the world, to make an impact without uttering a word.
I photograph because I want to.
It is my comfort, my passion, my explanation, my connection, and my hope. I need it the way I need the sun, the breeze, the moon, the stars, the sea, good conversation, honesty, cappuccino, love and friendship.
May my need for these disappear, when my need to capture something beautiful does, for then I shall be truly lost to myself.
