Yes Women Can Propose- Finale!

Image
So in my last blog I mentioned that I took the leap and I proposed to my man.  The day started off as a normal Saturday and him and the kids and I got up to go shopping. We spent a day shopping and having good quality family time. One of the last stores we went to was Helzberg Diamonds. I love jewelry so I went in there to look at their sales. I looked at quite a few rings and I noticed that he was watching. The one I fell in love was a white sapphire ring and it was gorgeous! I love colored stones but this ring was unique. My daughter wanted to go to Books-A-Million so I went over there with her but my man stayed behind. Before I left him there, and being the nosy woman I am, I noticed THE ring was gone from the case. He shooed me away and I went to the book store with my daughter. Now lets rewind... Him and I had a pretty emotional conversation about two weeks before and he admitted that there was a point that he wanted to ask me to marry him but that he was afraid (and for good re

Sharing Some of My Poetry- Words

Image
I am working on publishing a compilation of my poetry...Here is a piece that fits... Words Words are more than just letters on paper They are a testimony to emotions verbally unspoken They are factual statements written to give credence to what we've been trying to say. Words are more than just syllables They are broken into a language that we both can understand and comprehend. They are translations of our feelings within. Words are their to build foundations for communication And validation of what we feel and need. Words are written expressions of what we tend to ignore in fear that if we can't speak it we can jot them down to be read later. Words are symbols of our determination to prove what we can't see. They are proof of more than just skepticism but belief. Words are the way we write our history and foresee our future. They allow us to devise a plan And formulate opinions. Words give us a voice to be heard in every way possible. We understand the

Your Words Can be Poetry to the Heart

Image
I published my 1st book Reality Check on June 25th. Reality Check is a story of survival but also of love.  Sometimes after trauma and tragedy, we have to find ourselves again. We have to find love and ROMANCE again.  That can be hard if you are not willing to recover and forgive.  What is so beautiful about forgiveness and accepting your self and knowing your boundaries, is being able to create your own future and your own experiences.  We can do that in so many ways. Part of my journey as a writer has been in writing poetry.  My husband encouraged me to publish my poems and so periodically I will be sharing some poems with you that I have written.  There are so many amazing ways to express your love and appreciation for someone and poetry can do that in ways that will leave a lasting impression.  Their are so many famous poets but you can be your spouses favorite poet. A poem doesn't always have to rhyme, it just has to flow. Put your thoughts on paper and give them to your lov

New Beginnings

Image
This past year has been one of utter chaos, rollercoaster rides, and near disaster but I am here. We are here still standing.  I still believe in romance. Hell, I still believe in love. I believe in all the things I did a year ago when I stopped blogging but even stronger.  When you love someone intensely, its hard to just throw that away.  You've sacrificed, made a committment, forgiven multiple times and still you get sick to your stomach, butterflies are no longer fluttering, and you still care...  That's when you know you are not done. You are still willing. You want to forgive.  You want to feel something, anything and so you fight. You try to figure it out. You scream, yell, spat, mutter, cry, shake and you fight. You start getting to know each other again, texting, dating and flirting again. You spend the time you need to renew what you thought was escaping your grasp and you take it one day at a time while you try to fall in love again. You find ROMANCE.  You find ou

My Favorite Holiday is Coming!

Image
Yes I am a hopeless romantic! When it comes to Love I am all for it. That has been my motivation for this blog and keeping ROMANCE alive! One of the best days to show off your love for someone is Valentine's Day. Even though this is not the only day for you to show your love for your special someone or to bring some ROMANCE in your relationship, it is the most popular day for lovers and couples outside of your wedding and anniversary day! Valentine's is not just for couples though and I said so to a friend the other day when they sadly said they always spend it alone. I know how that feels to not have a romantic partner on the biggest couple day of the year. However, I am a mother! In my blog last year I spoke about Valentine's being for kids too. You can check out that article here .  If you are a parent and you have the kids for Valentine's then why not plan something special and fun for you and the kids to do together. Its never too young to teach your son how

Have a Romantic Christmas Countdown!

Image
Good morning everyone! I hope you are having a great start to your Christmas holiday. Even though I am not a big holiday person, I do know that the holidays are a great opportunity to be extra romantic.  If you haven't already planned something romantic and sweet for your special someone, its not too late.  Christmas is a time for family, friends, giving, and love! You can't have a complete Christmas without sharing it with the person you profess your love to. If you can't spend the actual holiday together, at least plan SOMEthing that you two can enjoy together. Some suggestions: * Plan breakfast in bed the morning of or the morning before. * Exchange a small gift between the two of you in private. * Plan a romantic dinner for just the two of you the night before or the night after. * Go shopping with each other and make it a date while you're at it. * Send Christmas cards to each other in the mail! * Go for a drive to see the Christmas lights. * Watch old
