    Memorial Charms

    I’ve read a few blogs and heard stories of couples who’ve found ways to commemorate loved ones who have passed and cannot attend the wedding. I liked the idea but decided to take it to another level. Rather than have a simple table with frames and a candle at the reception (which is a beautiful…

    The Chuppah

    Neither Dave nor I are super religious, but we are happy with how we were raised and wish to incorporate tradition and meaningful elements into our wedding ceremony. One item I recently decided to pursue is “The Chuppah”. Based on the ehow description, the Chuppah is made of a rectangular [or square] piece of fabric, large enough to stretch…

    I call it “The Hunt”

    By any other name you can call it a search, a mission, or a job in itself. I am simply calling it “The Hunt”. The skillful tracking and acquisition of an elusive target – in most cases this would be a living thing. For me, a new job isn’t just a new source of livelihood. It…

    Happiness

    I’m happy already for the journey not purpose. Because if I died tomorrow it’d all be worth it. I’d still give 100% and smile Because it could all be gone in just a little while. I love to live and live to grow, and there are only a few things I sure do know.  I am easy, as in I…

    Lead The Way

    I’m not sorry to want to be ahead,Nor that I prefer to break bread,than to break beds instead.I’m high, focused on life. I’m living my dreams; cutting cake with a knife.Like a domesticated wife. Working hard round the clock, Knowing what time it is with every tick tock. I strive to be on time. Taking…
