It's that time again: Happy Valentine's Day! ~ February 14th

May you have love in your life & in your heart! ♥♥♥

Darkness cannot drive out darkness -- Martin Luther King, Jr. ~ January 17th

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Remembering the great civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr., today and asking you to consider this:

If you love one person today, you'll have made the world a better place. You can love one person, can't you?

Love is in the air ~ Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!



Whether you're happily married, joyously single, or frenetically searching for that special someone, I hope you will make the effort to have a happy and satisfying Valentine's Day.



I always like to take this day to remember all the special people in my life.





Shown are some of the Valentines I made for others and some that I received.



Sending thanks and big hugs to all who shared their love with me this year! I heart you all!

P.S. I'm going to include below a poem I wrote for friends who got married recently...

Poem for Laura & Keith
October 2009

To dream,
Then playing a song together,
Two voices, one tune.
To love,
Then to share the love with each other,
Two people, one life.
To know,
Then to act on the knowing,
Reaching deep into the heart,
Where dreams and truths reside.
To wed,
In celebration of a life created
By twin souls,
Walking through life together,
Living the dream of the heart.

Funky Friday ~ September 18th

This is a picture of the Miss Portland Diner that I took several years ago and manipulated using Photoshop Elements. Pretty darn funky!

Enjoy the day & have a fabulous weekend! I am off to Massachusetts tomorrow for my cousin's wedding. "All you need is love, doo ta doo doo..."
