All You Need Is Love

LOVE...
Cards. Flowers. Candy. That's a list that could go on for miles. Valentine's Day can easily lose its meaning but for me it's more than store bought tokens. It's about saying thank you to the people who make my life rich with the love they shine on me. Without them I would be less. To my friends, family and my sweetheart Tom - THANK YOU! You are the ones that inspire me, challenge me, encourage me, fill my spirit, and make me a better person. You make gray days brighter and make life worth living. So go out and spread the love. After all...in the wise words of John Lennon, All You Need Is Love!

Love & Light to you all...today and everyday!

They Stand Together

A few weeks ago I got a call from my father. He wanted to create a special anniversary gift for his wife; a picture of two trees they pass on the drive home from trips to Niagara Falls. Though I didn't immediately understand the significance of the trees, I gladly agreed. It wasn't until today when discussing printing and framing options that I learned the significance of the two trees. He explained how the they stand together in the open field and how it made him think of Karen and him. Standing firmly, side by side. I was touched at his sentimentality; 14 years together and they're still one of the happiest couples I know. Happy Anniversary Dad & Karen! I hope you both love the picture as much as I do.



Another set of two standing together that I discovered in the fields near the trees. They were too pretty to ignore.

Mike & Ali

Two of my favorite people in the whole wide world recently celebrated their 2nd anniversary. Seven years ago Mike and Ali were working at the same restaurant. Her sweet face immediately caught his eye and it wasn't long before he got her to go out with him (she didn't make it easy). The rest, as they say, is history. Now they're celebrating two blissful years of marriage. He brings her flowers for no reason. She watches Yankees games and cheers along with him. He's brilliant and funny. She's creative and talented. They dance together. They laugh together. They adore each other. They balance.

I marvel at the honesty of their relationship and am grateful to be witness to such an incredible and ever growing bond. Congratulations & Happy Anniversary Mike & Ali. Keep loving.
