I do believe we're all

connected.  I do believe

in positive energy.  I do

believe in the power of

prayer.  I do believe in

putting good out into the

world.  And I believe in

taking care of each other.

Have a sweet day.

St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

"May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.

May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.

May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!" 

~Old Irish Blessing

For breakfast, I will be having one of my favorite cereals as a child, Lucky Charms.

Later, Nel and I will be drinking green beer and enjoying a day of Irish fun!

I hope you have a very lucky day ♣

A Peaceful Place To Go

Me and my husband went to the park the other day.  I have special memories of the park because I used to take my kids there all the time when they were little.  Now for me, it is a place to think, pray, and slow down.

While my husband took a walk along the nicely groomed trails,

I thought I'd take some pictures of flowers.

One of my kid's favorite things to do was go on the swings.  With their feet up in the air and their hair flying in the wind, they couldn't get enough of this.  I would often join them in their play.

We're never too old to swing.

Spring

Spring is right around the corner.

The flowers are blooming.

The sun is shining.

We welcome a new season of life and love.

 
Has Spring appeared in your area?

You Are My SONshine

This little boy looks very much like my son when he was little.  I used to see these pictures, and my heart would sing because the resemblance was surprising to me.

Don't let these sweet pictures fool you though.  He used to play football and rugby for many years.

Tough he may be, but also has a gentle spirit.

I protected and cherished him when he was a boy, and I am pleased with the man he is becoming.

To all the sons...

You are special.

You are brave.

You are funny.

You are loved.

Pacific Coast Highway

One of my favorite things to do is to take a drive down Pacific Coast Highway (PCH).

I love observing the ocean, the palm trees, and all of the people enjoying a beautiful day outdoors.

Sometimes my boyfriend and I take the beach cruisers out for a ride along the sand until we reach the pier.

He loves to walk along the pier, all the way to the windy edge.  

There, we are accompanied by the smell of cheeseburgers on the grill and the sound of vintage music coming from Ruby's 50's style diner. 

A ride along PCH is a special treat indeed.

Save-the-Date

Last weekend Jess, my mom, and I all got together for a special little party.

"Be silly.

Be honest.

Be kind."

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

My wedding is just 7 months away! So we wanted to send out our save-the-date postcards.

We had dinner at the cutest little Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was so fun! They had live jazz music playing, the tables were lit up by candles throughout the restaurant, and brightly colored Italian-style paintings hung from the red walls. The food was so delicious too! It was a wonderful way to start off our evening. 

We decided that pink is the perfect color for a wedding planning party with the girls.

So when we got home we mixed ourselves a couple of pink martinis and started the festivities.

Our save-the-dates came together quite nicely.

And when all the work was done, we popped in the very funny Bridesmaids and kicked up our feet to relax.

Let's hope the rest of the wedding planning is just as much fun!
