LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH LOVE AS THE ACTION, EVERYTHING ELSE IS A REACTION...

WHEN YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH LOVE AS THE ACTION FEAR CAN NOT EXIST... WHERE FEAR DOES NOT EXIST FAITH WILL... WHEN FAITH LIVES WITH LOVE AS THE ACTION LIFE WILL LOVE YOU BACK AND REWARD YOU WITH YOUR WISHES COMING TRUE...

I LIVE THOSE WORDS AND TODAY I SHARE THEM... THE PAST 2 DAYS HAVE PRESENTED TURNING POINTS IN MY LIFE THROUGH THE BIG CHANGES IN THE LIVES OF SOME OF THE PEOPLE I LOVE... 

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A STRONG GIRL AND NOW LIFE PRESENTS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO UP THE NOTCH OF STRENGTH ON MY BELT, THIS TIME FOR SOME OF MY LOVED ONES.  I WELCOME IT WITH OPEN ARMS... 

I HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MANY BIG CHANGES IN MY LIFE...ONE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS I HAVE LEARNED FROM THEM IS:  IF I DONT UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING AND ITS PURPOSE IN THE MOMENT, ULTIMATELY THERE IS ONLY GOOD INTENTIONS AND A STRONG FUTURE FOR ME BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT MY HEART MANIFESTS EVERYDAY... AND LIVES IN ALL MY ACTIONS...

I HAVE NEVER BEEN UNFAITHFUL TO HER NOR WOULD I EVER BE...

THIS BLOG IS DEDICATED TO MY BEAUTIFUL LOVED ONES THROUGH SOME CHALLENGING TIMES... A REMINDER THAT OUR LOVE FOR CHALLENGE BROUGHT US TOGETHER AND NOW WE ARE FOREVER... WHAT COULD MAKE US STRONGER??? 

AND WHO EVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE LAYING ON A BUS DRIVING FROM CINCINNATI TO DETROIT?!?  I DOUBT ANY OF US SO LET US WELCOME CHANGE WITH OPEN HEARTS AND STRONG MINDS...THE SUN LOVES TO SHINE FOR US AND THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT :)

SALT LAKE CITY WAS COOL BUT DEFINITELY NOT AS COOL AS BEING HERE WITH MY BOYFRIEND AND PLAYING IN THE SNOW.  IF ANYTHING BEING HERE JUST MADE ME MISS HIM SOOOO MUCH MORE!  THE SHOW HAD A GREAT CROWD WHICH WAS GREAT FOR THE TOUR, BUT ASIDE FROM THAT ITS A BIT OF A YAWN HERE..I JUST CANT GET DOWN WITH A CITY THAT SHUTS DOWN AT NINE O'CLOCK!  TOMORROW IS A FLIGHT TO ST LOUIS AND THEN A DELICIOUS DAY OFF THAT I PLAN ON SQUEEZING EVERY OUNCE OF FUN, RELAXATION, AND REJUVENATION OUT OF...

WHAT DAY IS IT?  WHERE AM I?... WHO KNOWS, WELL ACTUALLY I SHOULD GIVE IT UP A BIT FOR MY CURRENT LOCATION- PORTLAND,OR BECAUSE I QUITE ENJOYED IT!  WE SCORED BEAUTIFUL 82 DEGREE WEATHER WITH A BREEZE ON OUR DAY OFF, PERFECT FOR A DAY OF WALKING AND ENJOYING SOME SHOPPING WITHOUT TAX!  PORTLAND FEELS LIKE A SLIGHT MIX OF SAN FRAN AND SEATTLE... ITS A NICE PICNIC CITY IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN...

SOME NICE WHITE WINE AND PEOPLE WATCHING OVER AN ITALIAN LUNCH WITH NEIL SET A NICE TONE TO THE START OF OUR DAY. WE FINISHED THE NIGHT  IN THE VIP CORNER OF A LOUNGE WITH CHAMPAGNE BEING PASSED AROUND AND A FRIEND CLIMBING THE CHAIRS, DRAPING HIMSELF IN THE CURTAINS :) DID I MENTION HOW MUCH I LOVE MY CREW YET?

MY HOTEL IN SAN JOSE IS MAGNIFICENT! THE INTERIOR BREATHES THE SAME TONES THAT I WILL HAVE IN MY FUTURE HOME... ITS WARM AND SENSUOUS WITH A MODERN SPANISH VIBE...
