| We all deserve to be surrounded by others that make us look forward to tomorrow. Seek friends that are positive and that encourage you to be the very best. After all, you only have one life, so make the most out of it. Negative energy takes too much from an otherwise prosperous and productive day. - Cher Ferroggiaro |

I am excited to see the season arrive--everything is so vibrant! It makes me feel happy inside to know I will soon be spending time in the garden and preparing large planter pots to go along the pool this summer. I have always adored having plants around and have taught myself all about plant propagation. :)
I am probably just a scaredy cat, but when no one is in it, I hear odd noises under our bed. What the heck?
Here is a question: Why is it when you hear a noise and as soon as you look in that direction, it stops? So odd.
You know, sometimes there are songs in our lives that bring us back to simpler times. It is within this melody, that our eyes shine. :)
It seems to me that romance (in which I adore) does not always kiss the soul. Sometimes it is absent for some days. Sometimes, we take from granted that our loved ones know how much we care, so we simply forget all the right words. Or become to busy to speak them.
Sometimes that alone, crushes the tender heart.
Imagine walking in the rain... each droplet on the cheek idling as tears might beneath the lid. And when they finally fall, the mixture of wetness will conceal what we have come to know.
A pity really.
I love romance. I love love. I love smiles, hugs and kisses! SO MUCH! I hope I never lose my romanticism. I do not think I ever will. :) :) :)
Romance is a kiss to the hand, a sweetness that brushes the lip, a need, a sunny day in June... a sense of security in this sometimes harsh world.

[And We Will Sing]
(After reading Pablo Neruda)
Dear one,
when did the moon in its absolute cease
the Autumn in your eye?
The luminescence that climbs from your heel
to your mane--the candela that strings the stars
along your spine? Are you not sea’s breast,
crushing language as I glide past
the span of your mouth?
(A true
lover admits to nothing,
but a fraction of thought
flanked by sand and stone.)
I want to sit with you in the early hours
of sea fog like swollen fruit raised--
a liquid ache for lichen-covered landscapes,
lost or far-off, soft-faced forms that lack
naught in grandeur, where
the sails of my translucent dress will circle
around you and rise, unbuttoning linen
like the fragility of skin on skin, pulled
close in clover and wine.
Oh Beautiful one, may I become the final steps
of your inundated palm--lulled by the contrast
of late night photography, until I have no
more breath.
May I join in its sweetness, seeking the poetry
of Neruda, deep in your distant shores.
I adore photography and I think that I always will, no matter how I make my living. It is as necessary to me as breathing, as much a part of me as my heart.
Art is my comfort, passion, explanation, my connection, and hope. I need it the way I do the sun, moon, faith, honesty, love and friendship.
May my need for these disappear when my need to write does, for then I shall be truly lost to myself.
If I do anything in this life, just once I hope to make an impact without uttering a word.
We are each gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light. -Mary Dunba
Love and kindness is the key to a good life. Walk with your arms wide open and always make sure people leave your presence happier than when they arrived.
I love to love.
You do not need to hire a nutritionist, simply learn to eat the right foods.
1. Try eating foods with only 1 ingredient. (Fish, chicken, bacon, sweet potatoes, eggs, veggies and fruit.) Spice them up and keep your blood sugar at a safe level. There are so many useless things added to our foods nowadays, why worry about what they are. Preparing and eating one ingredient foods will keep you out of the dark and your blood sugar where it should be. Your body will burn fat.
2. Eat the right fats! Cook with olive oil--use it loyally and toss out all veg oils and canola. Stay away from margarine (cook with REAL butter) and non dairy creamers.
3. Stray from sugar and most carbs. Carbs you do not need are wheat, most cereals, rices and pasta. Instead of rice, eat Quinoa, Millet and this creative cauliflower idea!
4. No diet foods, Splenda, boxed or frozen entrees, or anything else of the sort! (Again, know exactly what you are putting into your body.)
5. Fill up on fruits and veggies, exercise (even if 10 minutes a day), and drink plenty of water.
You will be sure to feel the belly fat slip away as you look and feel better as a whole. Trust me, it is all about WHAT you eat.
You eat foods that will raise your sugar levels you body will kick in insulin and begin to store fat. Stay in the safe zone. When your levels rise, your levels will drop to a low that will have you fatigued and craving. What happens? The cycle begins again. Bottom line, watch what you eat and stay at a sugar level that will help you lose fat. In fact, some fats will do just that!
I am no expert and these are only opinions, but what have you got to lose? Get in the kitchen and prepare something healthy tonight. A suggestion: Grilled chicken, grilled zucchini and mushroom with a fresh garden salad. :)
Find out what is best for you and start on that road to a healthier you.
Good luck!
