Tooth Ick....

I got my tooth pulled on Tuesday morning and have been down for the count for a few days.

I will post up today and tomorrow and then I am off to Sterling, Co. for a wedding with the guy and his son!

Tons of pictures coming of the Green Festival (in slideshow form)

Sorry for my silence... Lilith typing on Vicodin is NOT pretty :)

Shakespearean Romance

“Not looking for Romeo…..”

(Photo adapted from here)

I wasn’t looking for him. This Juliet did not think he existed, so when I put my ad up on Plenty of Fish, I thought the title was fitting.

Romeo rode in on a white horse with a boyish grin, bright eyes and a positive outlook on life around him. … He didn’t exist.

Romeo spoke with passion about things he believed in and learned to fight without being cruel…. He didn’t exist.

Romeo loved with abandon, fighting against the world around him to be with the woman he loved, no matter the obstacles… He didn’t exist.

Romeo could mingle amongst his friends throwing verbal jabs and fit in at business perks with me and our kids…. He didn’t exist.

Romeo could fix anything with a few tools and brain power and with the same hands, touch my face, pull me into an embrace and make me feel safe… He didn’t exist.

I was wrong….

Eight months ago I met the Romeo I wasn’t looking for…. He is all that and more…

Some things are meant to be.

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

Open Letter Friday - 5/1

Polymer Clay Snails has a MeMe called Open Letter Friday.


Write a letter, to anyone. Sister, parent, crazy driver, or child who thinks you have not done what they are trying to get past you.

*************************************************************************

Dear Self,

What would you do if you were dying?

The words…. “You have cancer”…. “There is nothing more that we can do” …. “You have less than a year.” are said everyday… What if they were said to you?

How about things in your life left unfinished or unsaid?

Would you want to “wait” on anything?

Would you miss a chance to make sandwiches and watch a movie with the kids instead of making a huge meal?

Would you stop yourself from eating that cheese because… “It’ll go to my hips”?

Would you tell Kara to “hold on” while you made your bed or cleaned your room?

Or would you sit down and watch that viral video she wants you to see, and laugh with her?

Would you rush Ashlyn along with her story because you have a post to write?

Would you spend your time speaking poorly of people, or instead, find something wonderful to say to those around you?

Live like you were dying….

What demands would you make to those you love? Would you request their time by your side or want to be left alone?

Would you finally sky dive?

Get over your fear of sharks (because what else do you have to lose?)

Get married again?

Would you finally backpack through Europe or spend the night in a wine villa in Italy?

Why aren’t you? Why don’t you realize that we are on borrowed time from the moment we accept the first breath into our tiny lungs?

Take the step… the leap….

Live like you were dying…

Dare to love….

Love,

Me

Happy Beltane!

Happy May

Happy Beltane!

Happy joining of the deities and their hand fasting and union.

Throw up your blessings to Pan, Freya, Appolo, Mabon, Balder and Bel.

Don your green and white attire and welcome the ending of the frost on May 5th.

Lily of the Valley, Tulips and Roses will bloom this month, a rebirth of their buds having slept for the winter.

No matter how you celebrate today, give thanks for the beautiful day… even if it is misty and wet like it is for me today.


Offerings of sweet breads and wine to the blessed two, A swatch in offering for them to wear around their wrists for their hand fasting or a more traditional maypole dance with your children.



It is a time of fertility and partnership. New couples proclaim their love for one another on this day. It is a great day to start a new project.

Have a lovely Spring… May it be fruitful and full of beauty.

It is a new beginning.

Warm Blessings ~Lilith~
