Intimacy I want to see you. Know your voice. Recognize you when you first come 'round the corner. Sense your scent when I come into a room you've just left. Know the lift of your heel, the glide of your foot. Become familiar with the way you purse your lips then let them part,... Continue Reading →
We are All Women "We may be heroic after our fashion, disciplined warriors of our craft, yet are we all the women, for we exult in passion, and love is still our desire - our crowning and our shame.” ~ Thomas Mann

Champagne & Vintage Cocktails from The Ritz A revised and updated version of a popular blog post! I have to start this post out with a chuckle, because I am not a big drinker. My daughter says that in 2012 her mother "discovered" wine - well in 2015 I discovered whiskey! I am learning! The... Continue Reading →
“By then I knew that everything good and bad left an emptiness when it stopped. But if it was bad, the emptiness filled up by itself. If it was good you could only fill it by finding something better.” ― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

"Every moment we shared is now my favorite." So often we miss out on the moment because we are too preoccupied thinking of other things, or stressed out over what we need to do, or too busy to even think at all. I have been there. I'm changing. Each day I want to focus more... Continue Reading →
Stunning and beautiful poetry from Daniel at http://www.danieljeromeantil.wordpress.com – this is for all women XOXO
Let her dream, for she has loved too long,
and no mortal world shall e’er take her;
let her seem, for she has cried her song,
let nightmarish tide dare not wake her;
let her give, for she has all beauty within,
that no love may e’er take her breath;
let her live, for she has life yet to begin,
and let gods be bereft upon her death;
let her cry, for she has tears left to mend,
no sorrow is spared for her want of woe;
let her die, for she will arise in the end,
and by her death, all love may she know.

New seasons = a chance for growth ...
New Musings on Love When it comes, I feel completely distracted. Getting me to focus on the things that matter is like pulling skin off my bones. Funny how unpredictably these moments are, when the muse, my passions, utterly consume me. What is that? Why? It comes upon me like an obsession, like a brain... Continue Reading →
I'm thinking that as you age, it must be necessary that you develop a keener awareness and a bolder, even fearless attitude - and to basically not give a shit. Otherwise, this fast and furious culture we live in would eat you up, and the resonate fear of it could drive you to want to do nothing... Continue Reading →
