What's It All About?


"The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates

While you’re here, in this time and in this space, you are beautiful and you are perfect.

You are right where you need to be to get to where you want to go, so start asking yourself where you want to go.

"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase." MLK

Happy Birthday My Love.

I Can't Imagine

You know I wonder where I'd be if not for you
I'd still be wandering through this world without a clue
At night I wake up and look across the bed
And you'd never dream the crazy things
running through my head

I can't imagine,
my journey through this world without you
not loving everything about you
I've searched my heart and soul
how could there ever be a greater love than ours?
I can't imagine..

I want to wrap you like a present in my arms
Give you to myself and keep you safe from harm
My every moment devoted to your kiss
I don't even want to think about surviving
without you there

I can't imagine,
my journey through this world without you
not loving everything about you
I've searched my heart and soul
how could there ever be a greater love than ours?
I can't imagine,
sharing my life with any other
not making love to you
I can't imagine..
I've searched my heart and soul
how could there ever be a greater love than ours?
Let me tempt you and deliver
let me make you feel the ocean roar
I'll make your blood run like the river
how could a man feel better than this
or ever love you more?

I can't imagine,
my journey through this world without you
not loving everything about you
I've searched my heart and soul
how could there ever be a greater love than ours?
I can't imagine..
 
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
 
I never realized how much the lyrics of this song were so spot on. Oh sure, I loved the song and thought of you but in reading them over as I post this...well, they really are quite appropriate. 
 
I'm so glad your family is celebrating your birthday tonight and just yours alone this time. You deserve all the love and respect that you deserve. You do so much for everyone else, it's about time they showed you some love. 
 
And I can't wait to see you again to show you how much I love you too.
