April Love ... Day One


Today I joined in on Susannah Conway's April Love 2016 - A Month of Love Letters. I thought I would share Day One's Prompt ...

Dear Love, 
You have shown yourself to me in all different ways through my life. I knew you existed with the way you resided in my own family How we reacted to family members sufferings, as if they were our own. In my teens, I thought I knew you with my first love. Later, I realized I was too young to know your true meaning. Later still, I found you being Single meeting new people and then I lost sight of you once again. Over the course of the next few years I would find you to bloom, to hurt and to transform me. Changing me into a stronger more independent woman. Embracing me in my times of need. Cheering for my triumphs. Through it all you showed me comfort. Even now, I find you tapping me on the shoulder – Reminding me to take care of myself. I have always followed my heart, then my head. You have reminded me to take pause and think matters through while also reminding me to keep my heart open. I still call on you to guide me. To set me on the right path to never let my heart harden. To always remain true to myself. I look forward to seeing what lies in the path ahead. #AprilLove2016

Anyone else sharing in on this wonderful month of love?

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated
