WE'RE ENGAGED!! 12-23-12

I am officially a proud USAF fiancee!!

On the crisp Indiana winter evening of December 23, 2012, my boyfriend gave me the best early Christmas surprise gift I could ever receive! The place was special to the both of us, so much meaning behind our "random" visit :) As I stood there unaware, I felt his hands turn me around and as soon as we were looking into each other's eyes, he kneeled down on one knee and said the most beautiful words I have ever heard anyone ever speak and asked me to marry him as he placed the ring on my finger....I was completely speechless! I stood there, feeling as though my heart could explode with happiness,love,shock- not able to find a single word to say. All I could do was bury my head into his shoulder and hug him tight while tears just ran down from my eyes.  

That moment felt like a dream!

So there we were, on this beautiful December night, with the snow sparkling like diamonds all around us, holding each other tight, in this perfect moment together.

We are on our new journey together. A new chapter in our lives. A part of passion that brings our love even closer and stronger together. Something so beautiful and precious that we will share together all of our lives. We are soulmates brought together by Fate, kept together by our everlasting love.

I have had his heart from day one, and he has had mine as well. Through all the ups and downs, roadblocks and mistakes, there truly is no obstacle that could ever keep a love like ours apart. We share a part of each other that no one has ever known or experienced from us, our own special bond, our own special love. I believe what my fiance and I have is something truly rare, once in a lifetime love. I am absolutely blessed beyond words.

 I know our love will flourish and continue to grow even stronger and reach new depths as we are on our journey towards our chapter as husband and wife.

He will forever hold my heart, and I will forever hold his.

  ~Then, Now and Forever~

I believe in you and me

I believe in our love

Forever & Always

{ You're on my heart~just like a tattoo }

{ Heart, Hands and Faith }~ written by me

Being Creative is not a single act, but the act of living creativity itself.

I am a creative woman on fire with imagination, ignited by the certainty of my relationship and faith with God and the surety of my lifes purpose.

I live in freedom and faith, not measuring myself by the objects around me, but by the love I have received and shared with the lives around me.

 I take passionate risks, understanding the value of going beyond the horizon of the known and painting all I have discovered on my canvas world.

I build my foundation with my Heart, my Hands, and my Faith.

Each one of us are on our own path. We all have a reason why we have chosen the path we are on and why we are taking it. Our journeys are very different from one to the next. The pitfalls and blessings we encounter are unique to our own lives and experiences. We are all learning from our experiences and no one form of knowledge is more important than any other. Each experience brings different knowledge and every person learns and develops in different ways.

When you observe others, it can be easy to pass judgment on others decisions and assume their actions will correspond the same with what you feel is right. But everyones actions don't reflect those of the next persons. We all have our own reasoning behind the actions we take and the decisions we make. It's important to accept each person's unique way of doing things and the reasons why they do so. Giving others the freedom to act in the way they feel are best for them on their own unique path without the harsh judgments is important in honoring their capacity for growth.

 Never judge the decisions of others based on the path you would have taken. Every person lives by different values based on their own preference and experiences. Each person values different things on different levels as the next person. What is most important to you may not be as of the same importance to the next person.

 We all deal with difficulties in our own way. We all have the capacity to forgive and move forward, or continue to fight and fall behind. Everyone, at some point in time, will or has failed at something. Everyone has had a point of weakness and defeat. But we all also have the capacity to stand up again in the darkness of weakness and defeat. Difficulties and failure may be inevitable, but everyone chooses their own way of dealing and their own strength that allows them to stand up again.

 Everyone has to decide their own process of learning and growing. It's not always right to try and fix people or control certain situations. You cannot control what you did not decide. You cannot pull another individual off their chosen path. As angry and spiteful of emotions someone else's path may bring you, it simply isn't your journey and you simply have no control in that part of their destiny. 

 Choosing the right path and making decisions is another step towards growing, learning, experience and wisdom and each person is entitled to their own. This ultimately  means stepping back, dissolving judgment, and gracefully allowing others to live their own destinies.

Giving others the freedom to blossom in their own journey gives you the freedom to take more notice of your own journey and it gives you the opportunity to pay more attention to your own life lessons. You may not condone the actions you see taking place and you may be quick to place judgements and retaliate, but your reactions will be more accepting and enlightening by letting it go and letting them be.

When you find your own ability to let others be as they are and to let things go, letting their journey and destiny unfold as it is meant to be, you will be able to focus more on being yourself and traveling your own journey and understand that the path you are on is right and valid for you, as others paths they are on are right and valid for them.

{ The Value of Love } written by me

Some people thrive on material possessions. They want and want of many things, no matter how to gain it or why it is even needed. Many people obsess over money, whether they are using others to get it, or slaving away at a job they hate in order to feel that thrill on payday. They are at a constant state of wanting. They obsess over shoes, clothes, jewelry, cars, makeup, home goods, and other selfish and irrelevant possessions. They put their many needs in front of and foremost over the ones around them, the ones they love, friends and even family. Many women are in search of someone to take care of them, to financially support their unbalanced lives with money and a sense of security. Many women view someone to take care of them as their crutch, to hold them up as they drag themselves around depending on others. Their values and emotional perspectives are way off the chart. There are parts of their emotional being that is replaced by material wants. They lose the understanding of what is really important, more important they any material object or possession.

Love.

I suppose that is how I know I am stitched from a finer cloth. I have a completely different view on the value of love over money, of what is important and what is not. There are no objects,possessions or material items that can be bought that will ever come close to replacing the value and worth of a loving heart and the connection of souls. Without a doubt, love is the most expensive treasure I have ever experienced,rich or poor, in all my life.

Love is priceless.
Money comes and goes, as well as those people who are forever seeking it. But Love, real Love, lasts through the pennies and dollars. Sure money can buy you a car or some more clothes or even that fancy piece of jewelry you've had your eye on, but to me those things could never compare to the riches a truly loving heart can bring and give.
It's beyond incredible.
I've never been a woman to obsess over shoes or clothes or most of the superficial objects many woman crave. I've never viewed my values or character based off money or how much I can own or take. I've never wanted beyond a reason.
But when I step back and look at my life, I am amazed at how rich I truly am. My heart bursts with the abundance of beautiful things that the foundation my life is built of. The blessings in my life cannot be found in any store or shoved into any wallet.
When I look at the love I have been blessed to hold in my heart and the love that  is accepted and cherished in the hearts of the ones I love, I feel that I am truly the richest person in the whole world ♥
