Night skies, wishes and a heart

The smile that I carry seems to be lost tonight. I had it, but I guess it slipped away. ... so far away.

Tonight, I feel alone. I am going to lay in the dark: hug my pillow, look out at the night's royal blue sky, make a wish and listen to my play list awhile, (I hope I fall asleep).

I do not like this night. Ever had one like this? It has nothing to do with anything or anyone--just an all too quiet night. And I hope when I wake, the world is mine again.

A Letter From Stefan :)

(Danielle's lil' feet)

My Sweet!

Good early morning to you. I have so enjoyed the last three days and I am counting the days until we share the Eastern Autumn. I woke this morning thinking of how fortunate to have you completing my life.

I thought of how perfect we are for one another. I love how you are a girly-girl, so delicate like California orchid, so loving and caring. You enjoy spoiling me with wonderful words and relentless giving. I am grateful to have found you again in this vast and ever-growing universe.

You inspire me to write again and to take the time to pause and enjoy everything around me even more than I do now.

I am happy to have your daughter, Sara as part of my life. I am in awe of our little family. My children and our Sara are intelligent, enjoy discovering and learning about the world in which we live. They are achievers and have set goals to accomplish things that give back to the society in which we live.

Our children, although they were not born from our loins, have attributes and characteristics belonging to both you and I. As a result, we all fit hand-in-glove, a smooth transition for us all.



(Precious Danielle)

Danielle is a girly-girl like you and pursuing a degree in the Medical Field, aspiring to become a pediatrician, wanting to discover a cure for childhood diseases.

Sara, nonchalant about what people think of her, a free-thinker. Her interest in social issues and world politics, concerned about social injustice and world events, rings similar to myself. I so enjoy talking to her about these issues. Her aspirations of becoming an attorney to help right wrongs and meet social injustice head-0n is awe-inspiring.

Chris, he has everyone wrapped into one Being. Smart, dry-humored, curious, loves sports, very calculated and curious as well. He is easy going and enjoys people. He is a hard working child and willing to give of himself for the benefit of others. He loves to smile, but wants others to pull their own weight and be a team player. He knows that anyone can accomplish anything if they desire to do so.

With all of that said, it just lets me know that we have been together prior to this existence, as energy changes form, but never dies. We are a perfect match and will be together until our last breath on this rock we call Earth. I am anxious to live each day together as if it were our last. To receive from this life all we desire and to give back we are capable of. We have a great family and a love for one another that transcends time and space.

I love you, Cher, more than a moment ago, more than I love my breath, you give me life and without you I cannot breathe.

Always you heart,

See-Saw

A Letter in the Wind

(... an unedited letter of love.)

Baby,

I am sending one thousand kisses for your sweet lips this morning while we are apart, (... you are the best thing to ever happen to me).

And my ideal love, I hope you wake with a smile that could lighten any room. In fact, I know that smile will be on your lips, and I think it exquisite the way your eyes seem to blaze deep within that same smile--you are so stunning.

Last night I dreamt us two beside the sea, the sun delicately on our backs. We sat on the sand huddled close, looking out over the water as you were speaking. You told me of our future, where everything seemed composed and affectionate. You spoke of adoration and how the sound of my voice brought you to your knees. (And I want to you to know that with each word I utter, my heart beats even more rapidly for you.) You spoke of that ancient rock and how you truly believed it would carry me to you. Well dear, we are now one--nothing could break the union between us two.

Speaking randomly for a moment:

Whenever I am near the sea, my heart seems to be in utter fascination; I could never get enough of the scents of salt, as the breeze brings to me everything that makes the ocean unique. Gosh, I never thought I could love anything more. Then you came along. I am beginning to believe the sea heard my calls and sent you to sit adjacent to me--all those lonesome days, now absolute with your hand in mine. I never thought I would find what I was looking for. I never thought there would be you, See-saw.

This morning I imagined myself against your skin yet again. I thought in notes, a piano, the waves, smiles and the spirit. I anticipated poetry in the sand and that boulder that stood out over the tide, standing sturdy within all that came its way - its confidence in our love, just as strong, where one glance would surely tell of a woman that was loved more than anything in the world, by a man who gave his hand to her.

I imagined that man. He sat beside the rock, a lily in his hand. His eyes were not visible, but the form of his mouth seemed as if he were screaming or perhaps crying for what he needed most. Tears slipped down his cheek in goodbyes to an old friend, and hopes of never parting from his one true love again. He was anxious and now inclusive. I suppose the feeling of being complete is something most could never envision, finding all you sought, and the awareness that the future was secure.

I wanted to reach out and embrace him. I wanted to press my lips to his and show him that there is nothing stronger than love. His back now against the sand, he was lying there looking up. Did he dream of angels?

I closed my eyes again and was taken to that place in the sand, a touch, but no recognition. He opened his hands, tears in his eyes as if to dream me within them at that very moment. Did he not see me? His hands felt through me and back again. Then his eyes closed. My heart fell-- had he not known I never really left his side?

Through the tears I could hear music commence..."Insatiable" began to seep through the air. I felt flushed; I was/am in love. Then I heard it - the resonance from the ancient stone - that man is you. But why must we be apart? Are we really twin souls that have had to learn through life experiences, before being together once more? Living distant as the horizon until our time had come? I believe so--we trust so.

I dreamt of the sea once more; I was there, but no, not beside you - above you as if watching from somewhere within the billows. I did not want to be there, sweetness! "Help me!" I uttered, but you could not hear. You sat there, photos scattered on the shore, and a look in your eyes that tore a hole through my breast. Did I not tell you that I loved you? There is nothing like 'us'? This is no ordinary love? You knew, my love, but remained before the rock in hopes I would never stop falling in love with you.

... these imaginings fill my life with something more moving than the most beautiful of moments--they fill up my life with the gentleness of one heart to another, fill my soul with an unrestricted love--you.

My dream turned and I thought of the most beautiful of days. I woke from my dreams for a moment to feel your eyes. One look and I knew everything would be alright. I knew that the love that you carry would see us through.

You are the most wonderful man that I have ever known. I do not see faults - I see brilliance. I do not worry what secrets you may hold or what despondency the past may have given you. I love you now and forever and will mend your precious heart. Together we will rise above anything and everything--we will make it, my dear, we will.

I promise to always fight for us. I love you and I cannot live without you.

I need to be with you, need your kiss, hand, and your love. I want to be the one who throws her arms around your neck in bliss. I want to be the one who receives morning kisses and fresh rain. I am yours - do what you like, I will never go away. I will not leave you to face the world on your own.

Can you see that I breathe for you? It is in the way you speak of me to me. The way you laugh, cry. It is you, you, you, you, you, you, you. You are my best friend...


... my husband. And I will not let anything harm you, because you have the most gentlest of hearts. I am so in love with every part of you. You are the man that I want for the rest of my life. I want to feel you inside me, beside me, falling asleep inside me. I want to feel your hands touching me, caressing me - loving me. I want to be your kiss - to feel what you feel.

My heart is bursting right now. I am more in love with you each minute that passes.

Know how much I love you, Stefan, carry it with you, and you can see anything through. Our love is the true meaning of love, and I want the entire world to know, I love you.

I LOVE YOU!

Please do not ever go away, my love, I get lost as it is. I need you like I need my next breath... and even that is for you. I thank all the Heaven that I have finally found you. Nothing or no one could ever compare.

Your wife and best friend,

Cher

Beauty Graces the Pages,...

... with language meant for two.

And if I should ever cease to speak,
I hope you find all that you have ever
needed deep within my eyes.

Because sometimes when I look at
you, words like "Love", tangle sweetly
on the tip of my tongue.

Then you breathe life into me. You
give me air, by pressing the warmth
of your chest to mine.

And all I manage to do, is smile.

-Cher

Did you ever know,...

*For my best friend Dawn--I so love you.

Where my heart is alive

You, my love, are everything a woman could ever ask for--you are the best of the best. Each moment that passes, I fall more and more in love. You know, I never thought that possible, because I always feel so completely and utterly in love with you. But as I have said, with each new moment, I fall more. I truly believe I will never stop falling in love with you.

The very first words that come from your lips when you wake are, "I love you". How sweet is that! And that is not just some morning, but all. I am truly blessed.

I know in the past I have felt love. I understand this, I do. But it has never felt as this does, and it has never been complete from the other side. What I mean is, either I was not totally in love, or they never gave their all to me. I deserve that. Some were much too frightened and never knew how to truly love another, some did not know how to love unconditionally,... some just a mere moment in my life; insignificant seconds that brought lies, that in return, brought tears and never really made me smile deep inside.

But you, dear, you always knew I deserved more, and stood beside me every step of the way as a best friend and confidant. You have loved wholly, sweetly, courageously and strong. I have never known a love like this before. Thank you for how you are, for waiting, and for getting me through even the darkest of nights.

... I so love you, Stefan.

I Have it all Here in My Heart

(For Stefan)

It is not in the way your smile warms
me-- the sweetness alone could lighten
even the darkest of days.

It is not the sincerity of your fingers
as they caress my skin--an explosion of
emotions sending love along the curve
of my spine.

I could never get close enough.

It is more in the way that Autumn has
arrived--the colors reflecting two souls
that blend together perfectly,...

... the sound of your beating heart against
mine, as beautiful as one hand inside
another.

There is no place I would rather be.

-Cher

In a perfect world our very own

2 random thoughts:

I. Nothing could be more sensual or beautiful than when my husband kisses me when I am on my back--my hearts beats quickly as I drink the sweetness that slips from from his precious mouth.

II. When we have to be apart, we are always connected on the phone, i.e., when showering, eating, meetings or anywhere else we go. And when the day is done and it is time for rest, he tells me to imagine him behind me with his arms around me tight. Then, he tells me he loves me more than anything, and together we fall asleep softly, our ears tight against our mobile phones. It is incredibly beautiful.

Dear, my love,...

(Am Autumn photo I took last year.)

"... I have dreamt of a place for you and I, (no one knows who we are there).
All I want is to give my life only to you,...

... let's run away, I'll take you there."

-Evanescence

Happy Autumn to you all, and a very special kiss to my sweet Stefan.
I so love you, baby. :)

Imagine there were no tomorrow,...

... how many times would you pull me to the Pacific shore and kiss
me softly on the mouth? (... the heat rising, clinging to my cotton
dress like droplets of warm rain.)

How many times would you tell me how I light up all the stars within
the San Francisco sky? ... hands exploring, forever exploring, where
my rosary slips to sand, as you whisper Pablo Neruda against my thigh.

Each moment would melt me in so many ways. Each precious second,
stirring our hearts sweetly, stretching fingers to touch the horizon,
until we became that very sky.

-Cher

Into the night

If ever there were a moment that I truly felt loved, it is in your arms. It is with your eyes--your tender touch.

When I smile, you smile. And if there were ever a gray day, we would push a soft rain from the clouds and dance beneath the sky. I so love you.

When I cry you hold me, kissing the tears from my face, giving me the courage and strength to go out and get what I want from life,... standing beside me come what may. You take care of me, love me and give to me all that I could ever need.

And when the moon comes to light our faces, you kiss me gently before making love to me with all your heart and soul--the sweetness of honey lingering from one lip to the other.
... a pleasure so vast, it lasts all through the night.

Thank you, my love.
Your Cher

My heart

The world is mine. :)

... I just had to place a few words here in love and light of all that is beautiful-- Stefan's heart. He is such an incredible husband and best friend. You know, no matter what comes our way, we always come through with such smiles.

I am so fortunate to have a man like him give his precious hand to me. I will never forget how tender his eyes were when he looked deep within my eyes and recited his vows--my heart melted. And with each word, I knew he loved me unconditionally and wholly.

We are a laugh a minutes let me say. It is so funny how we are (and always have been with each other); making silly voices, laughing, crying, and loving every minute deeply. :) ... and his family is absolutely beautiful. I so love them.

Happy (late) Birthday to my new and extremely sweet sister. :) I so love your precious heart.



Okay, okay, now that I have mentioned my dear sister, we all know that I must return my thoughts to Stefan, hahaha! ;)

Hmmm,... where was I,...

Ohhhhhhh, and the sound of his heart beating against mine is more powerful than the sea. In fact, I adore him 1000 times more than I have ever adored the sea (... and you all know that must be bunches)! :)



I sit here and I smile so big, because he truly makes my life worth all the past and all the mistakes that I have made. He makes all heartache and trials worth very tear. I believe they have made me much stronger, and they have been lessons that have made me a better woman, with the knowledge to love in a deeper way. In fact, I never knew real love, until I fell in love with Stefan.


I was conditioned all these years to be by his side.
... no one on earth could ever compare, he is my heart.

:) Ciao!

A Match Made in Heaven

Scorpio and Capricorn



Both signs are anchored deep within, and often come across as "hard to get to know." Their cool reserve and natural mistrust of others actually works in their favor. Picking up on this mutual fortress, they take their sweet time during the courtship phase. Neither wants to play games, or has much interest in a one-night stand. Initially, emotions are meted out in understated ways, and they enjoy sensual pleasures in a controlled way. Love grows slowly between such formidable natures, taking care to keep dignity, respect and trust intact.

While dating, they discover someone as driven to succeed as they are. Both need pursuits to engage in, big careers to hitch all that ambition onto. As romance unfolds, each subtly locks in as part of the foundation for what the other wants to achieve. They share a determination to commit to patient, steady achievement. And in the other, they find a champion, and a loyal partner to settle in with for the long haul. That's why you see so many Scorpio-Capricorn power couples.

Because of its intensity, Scorpio can often flare up over an issue, and stay locked into dramas that stir up trouble. Capricorn is the voice of reason, offering a stone cold sober analysis of what's really going on. This helps Scorpio gain perspective. In the cozy intimate spaces, Scorpio draws out the Goat from its earthen cave. Capricorn's natural sensuality and depth of emotion comes out in the atmosphere of trust they've created.

When it's a love connection, these two enjoy the best of both worlds -- private and public. Scorpio should avoid trying to control Capricorn, who will respond with its own indignant fury. They're a couple that find worldly power sexy, and thrive when they support the other's steps to mastery. But in the relationship, the model of shared power works best, and when that delicate balance is in place, this is an enduring match.

They both understand power and control and how to use it --- this pair is dynamite. (Source: Aquarian-Age Romance )

For Scorpio: This is a wonderful partnership. You both have the same values and cherish your home environment. Mentally and physically you match up well, easily satisfying one anothers needs. (Source: Love Test )

For Capricorn: Not bad at all. You both understand one another perfectly and can appreciate the same values and directions. Sexually you can dance superbly together. (Source: Love Test )

Clear sailing. They are ambitious, determined, serious about responsibility and have a good head for financial success. (Source: Astrology Fun )

Scorpio Woman & Capricorn Man

This is a good match that can really develop into a long-lasting love relationship. You are person will a deep well of intense emotions, and that can really bring a Capricorn boy out of his quiet shell. With you, he will open up emotionally in a way he won’t with most other signs. He is very loyal to those he cares about, and his steady nature and confidence in you will give you the emotional security you need. Capricorn boys are known for sticking with those they care about through thick and thin. You will always be able to depend on him to support you, be there for you and stick up for you. You also share a warm physical chemistry that will grow even more affectionate and romantic as time goes on. A very good love match for both of you. ( Source: Jellybean's Astro-Soulmate Guide )

Capricorn boy thinks that Scorpio girl is a worthy companion on every front-a person that understands the value of quality and ambition. Best of all, he likes that you can go toe-to-toe in any debate. It's a mutual admiration fest on every level!

When Scorpio and Capricorn make a love match, they get an opportunity to not only enjoy a loving relationship and learn the value of being a pair, but also to grow and mature as individuals. These two may be wary about sharing themselves with one another at first, and this emotional caution may dampen the initial impact of this relationship. These two tend to be a bit cautious (Capricorn) and pensive (Scorpio), and it takes a while for them to feel comfortable with a significant other. Though they may be shy of getting involved and not the quickest to trust and share, these two Signs will discover that they can have quite a profound connection -- one of friendship and deep loyalty.

Much can be learned when a Scorpio and Capricorn get together -- and the lessons they learn, while difficult at times to endure, are worth the trouble they might cause. From their stable, capable Capricorn mate, Scorpio can learn to bring their overheated emotions into control. Capricorn must be careful, though, not to seem too emotionally shallow when leveling any criticism on their sensitive love. Detached comments can backfire with Scorpios: They desire depth, intense feeling and the utmost in sincerity in all situations -- most especially in love! Capricorn, so busy with achieving and with how others perceive them sometimes fails to take a chance with their emotions. From Scorpio, Capricorn will learn the value of looking below the surface of things, the rich pleasure that can come from deeply knowing another person. Both Signs share a love of committing to a task. If they decide a relationship is their next big goal to attain, there's no stopping these two.

What's the best thing about the Scorpio-Capricorn love match? Their determination toward shared ideas and their strong devotion to one another. They can open doors to one another's souls and show one another new ways of perceiving and feeling.

:) I am going back to bed now! Hugs to you all.

Your Spatial Skill IQ score of 164 is exceptionally higher than your General IQ score.This score is better than greater than 99.99% of all persons taking this test.

Logical

This is the ability to determine if a set of rules has been correctly followed. This ability is most useful in combination with other mental skills listed above.

Your Logical IQ score of 160 is exceptionally higher than your General IQ score.This score is better than greater than 99.99% of all persons taking this test.

Spelling


The ability to spell can indicate general intelligence. Remembering a set sequence of letters indicates the mind's ability to retrieve remembered facts.

Although poor spellers with high IQ scores can be found, it is rare, and in general--everything else being equal--the better spellers have higher IQ scores.

Your Spelling IQ score of 144 is not significantly different from your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.83% of all persons taking this test.

Short Term Memory

The ability to remember things for a short period of time allows the mind to check back and retrieve facts needed to complete a problem solving operation. This ability becomes more critical when problems have many aspects that need consideration and/or need to be solved mentally. This ability strongly determines how efficiently one handles the many aspects of normal life. If your short term memory ability is strong you are much less likely to seem inattentive or "slow to get it" to others.

Your Short Term Memory IQ score of 133 is significantly lower than your General IQ score.This score is better than 98.61% of all persons taking this test.

General Knowledge (Sample analysis)

Knowledge that is casually picked up and remembered can indicate intelligence, because persons with higher intelligence will exhibit greater retention of those pieces of information that are encountered less often.

Your Visual Apprehension IQ score of 146 is not significantly different from your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.89% of all persons taking this test.

Geometric

The strength of one's geometric ability can strongly determine how quickly knowledge can be absorbed if it is presented visually.

Your Geometric IQ score of 144 is not significantly different from your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.83% of all persons taking this test.

Vocabulary

Knowing the meaning of words is an ability that directly increases along with the increase of general intelligence. The meaning of a word is more easily remembered with higher intelligence, because it takes more intelligence to understand and correctly use words based upon the subtle differences between words with similar meanings and to comprehend difficult concepts which are sometimes symbolized by a single word.

Your Vocabulary IQ score of 144 is not significantly different from your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.83% of all persons taking this test.

Intuition

Intuition is defined as that ability of the mind to develop answers to questions without consciously dealing with the problem at hand. Often a question will provoke your mind to answer without using conscious processing time, and the answer is said to come "out of the blue" or "suddenly, it just struck me". Of all the many abilities of the mind, this is one of the most often used. Just knowing what to do is often an automatic process that occurs without much conscious figuring. Those with stronger intuition make less mistakes and can seem luckier, wiser, or more mature.

Your Intuition IQ score of 156 is not significantly different from your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.99% of all persons taking this test.

Computational Speed

If you can correctly solve a variety of problems faster than another person, you may be demonstrating a generally more orderly internal arrangement of your mind's problem solving methods. While speed cannot be the sole factor in determining overall superiority in one mental operations, in general faster computational speed will often indicate that a problem's comprehension was more complete. With everything else being equal, a person with faster computational speed than another person's will be better at tasks that require the synthesis of many bits of information.

Your Computational Speed IQ score of 138 is significantly lower than your General IQ score.This score is better than 99.44% of all persons taking this test.

Ciao brats :)

What a long week! Stefan is in Hollywood doing things for the Emmy Awards and other things. I hope he comes home soon. I miss his hugs and kisses. :) He is such a great husband, and so loving. And I adore his sister so very much! You know, she reminds me of my own sister,... and having a sister again, makes my heart breathe a gentle sigh. I love her.

Real quick: Sorry for whomever tried to call me yesterday--I have the new Blackberry Pearl 8120 (in silver) and still have no idea to work it. ;)I have figured out how to answer it now, finally. :)

Stayed at The Raddisson Station Hotel the other night. It is such a calming place. We were on the 6th floor and had such a beautiful view of the city. Here are a few images I took:





I better go for now, because I am multi-tasking and have lost my train of thought.

Have a beautiful weekend! :)

Well,...

... now we need more seasonal pleasures, yea? ;)







I took those images last Autumn. :) Happy season!

Runaway With My Heart

I wanted to add a little something today. :)

Today is a good day, because I am married to the world's most sweetest man. I must say, he truly knows how to love me inside and out. He never lets a day pass without showing me his affection. Each day he tells me he is in love, laughs with me, holds deep conversations, and we can talk about anything or sort anything out. I am truly blessed.

Sadly, he has to go to the Emmy Awards, but hopefully we will be back in each others arms soon. I already miss him.

You know, he healed my broken heart. How? Well, he listened, loved and gently kissed it back in place--piece by piece. He is so courageous, as well. I mean, he would go any distance for our love, and has proven it time and time again. I adore him, his family, and his precious ways.

In other news, I have been sorting this to donate to the Salvation Army, cleaning, working and other things. Life is good. :)

Oh and, I have to say,...

AUTUMN IS HERE!!! :) :) :) ... gosh, my heart goes into overjoy during this season.



(An image I took last autumn.)

Yep, all is good in this lil' Italian's life. I hope all is well with yours too!

Big, big hugs,
Cher
