Your Warm Embrace

"At least one moment everyday
I hear the echo of your voice
And though it's only in my mind,it stays with me
I have no choice..."

My thoughts are clear and the picture of my love is distinct and special. This duet captures the spirit of a love that is not forgotten. When love is ageless, the face you remember is that glorious day you first met. Love is ageless and its image in your mind only improves with time.

Rays of Comfort

Love brings us 1,000 dreams and lifts us high. Two lovers, a thousand miles apart and yearning to be back in each other's arms, may find a ray of comfort as they gaze upon the same Moon, knowing that they are bathing together in celestial light from the same source.

    So whether it is night or day, the sky is where we find our comfort. Look up. Stay positive and you will never fail. In the dark sky, we see stars that have their own stories to share.

The Gift of Love

                                             Wedding Music

Jean Anouilh - French Playwright

Before you can love another person you must love yourself. Only then can we pass this gift to others.
The gift of love is sweet, musical and timeless. The gift of love is ageless and without borders. When we love another person, we share our inner feelings,  becoming vulnerable,  buy taking a chance that our love is the greatest gift we can pass on to another person.

"The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well.”
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (The Wheel of Life, 1997)

The Second Sunrise

"The echo of her laughter is the second sunrise I awaken to each day, and at night I feel it is more than stars looking down on me. " 

           ~Jerry Spinelli ( from his book Stargirl )

The new morning opens with rays of light, but a second sunrise also occurs when the right person walks into the room. This indoor sunrise is different from the outdoor one. This second sunrise is the transformation of darkness to light, from ugliness to beauty, and from hatred to love.

When the second sunrise shines, you can turn your head toward the incredible light and hear the laughter.

Embrace

During a surf session on Halloween morning 2003, Bethany was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark, which bit off her left arm and seemed to end her career as a rising surf star. Just one month after the attack, Bethany returned to the water and just over a year later won her first National title. In 2007, she realized her dream of surfing professionally and since then her story has been told in a New York Times best selling autobiography and in the 2011 film, SOUL SURFER.
For many in the surfing world, the term “soul surfer” (coined in the 1960s) often refers to someone who doesn’t compete, who surfs simply for the pleasure of surfing.
   If you are anchored in love and faith, you can overcome any insurmountable obstacle.Finding your courage allows you to embrace your passions.

The Pillow You Sleep On

   Sleepers who snore can also laugh at this new device which seems to alleviate that common complaint of couples.
   It's called nora. Sweet dreams to all.

Pianos on State

Once  a year, for one week in October, in the romantic city of Santa Barbara, California, pianos are placed on State Street for anyone to sit down and play. They are decorated by local artists and the event is called Pianos on State.


 This Oktoberfest is a beautiful reminder that music and romance make a wonderful connection. If you were to sit down at the piano and play I think the exquisite beauty of the song "Julia" by Ludovico Einaudi would be a sensational melody to play as the stars come out.
