Memories Bliss!

Door Decor.

Lattes.
                      


I had one of those reminiscing days today. . .
Last year I didn't work so many days a week.  So I would pick up my—then 1st grader and we'd go to the local bakery and we'd order Chai tea lattes and pumpkin spiced cupcakes or huge sugar cookies and we'd sit in big comfy leather arm chairs in this cozy little bakery and we'd talk about tidal pools and sea stars and why the leaves turned red in the Autumn time.
I hope this is a memory that my son will remember when he gets older.
As a parent I've always strived to make my children happy and give them the best childhood memories because I never had any of that as a child.
I want them to be happy individuals.  Who think and believe freely.
I hope as he gets older and looks back.. these memories and images remind him of cozy warm comforts and giggles and happiness!!

If Bob says it...It must be so..

Taken by me @ Long Island Bahamas. 2011

"He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can.

He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break.

Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there.

Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you." Bob Marley.

When I read this quote.. I don't think of it as to pertaining to a man and woman.. But to all kinds of relationships.
Friends.. Family.. Partners.

I feel blessed to have the friends/family that I do.
Who expect nothing from me.. But me.
They accept my flaws.. My demons.. My passions.. My insecurities.. My loves....
They know that I give them my all... As much as I am capable of.
I'm only human.. 
And as much as I feel like I want to sprinkle magic dust everywhere and it all be ok.. Sometimes things don't work out that way and you have to just accept it all and move on and be better from it.
At the end of the day.. I know that I'm a very lucky woman. That my blessings out way all the negative.
I have loved.  I have lost. I have grieved. I have hurt to my core.
I have survived it all and laughed at the next day with a new sense of joy.
Life is too short to try changing people to who they are not.
We all have to learn to accept the things we cannot change and enjoy what we can get out of the wonderful relationships we have with people.
"Love hard..when there is love to be had"..The best quote ever.. 
Don't forget it my friends.
It's the core of out heart!!

Welcome to my Life/STYLE

taken by me @ Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Summer 2012. CCK/.

Welcome to my blog about my life/STYLE.


I was inspired to write this blog after a few friends of mine told me that my writing was so entertaining.
So here I go... 



"He Kama Kai Au"
"I am a child of the sea".

Everything that inspires me for the most part revolves around the sea and the beach.
It's where I come alive. 
Where I feel my most creative. 
Where I feel I have come home.

I hope you enjoy reading about my wishes, my dreams & my adventures.
