"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..." by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love

(What C's been reading, watching, listening to....) ******** I began reading this amazing book on my honeymoon - it was actually, probably not a good choice because it is in someways a lament about loss during marriage break-up and subsequent divorce, but it is also brilliantly and humorously written and I recommend Ms. Gilbert's personal account of her life-changing journey whole-heartedly...(

When yoga harms rather than heals - Fitness - MSNBC.com This was sent to me by Liam who thought of me (I am worried now that he thinks poorly of me as a teacher.) At any rate I do have a very strong opinion about this subject and (no pun intended) it is a sore subject for me... There seems is a frenzy in the fitness industry to churn out Yoga teachers (I am guessing because of the Yoga 'craze'

Tug-of-war in the shape of emotions…just trying to sort them all through. My stuff is still over and my old house (yes I blame myself mostly for this – but it’s also due to circumstances and how I am feeling about ‘invading’ Erin’s house…sure this is also on me – I don’t mean to imply he’s not be more than welcoming…) There’s an adjustment involved here…getting married shifted things and it’s

Comes to me in different ways/waves.... This particular incident happened in of all places, a restaurant, and, it was due to Erin's children - and just the feeling of becoming a 'family' part of something bigger than myself - all over again. We were sitting in the restaurant Friday night - waiting to order food. J~, Erin's son mentioned that he needed some 'boy time' - time away from girls

So what is it - do you feel our forefathers (no foremothers (and BTW, as I type the word foremothers I am being shown that it is mis-spelled, meanwhile forefathers isn't - go figure) - apparently had a say...except perhaps in that way reserved for women back in those days....negligible I am guessing) MEANT for us to be in the mess we are in now?

(To no one in particular...per se...) Civil Anti-stalking order: In Ohio, "menacing by stalking" is illegal. It is defined as a sustained pattern of knowingly causing mental distress to another person or threatening them with violence. If an order of this type is violated the result can be a contempt of court action resulting in fines and/or jail time.

ABC News: Amish Teens Struggle With Temptation There is a very special reason why I am posting this story. According to my love one of the reasons I 'caught his eye' when we met was because of a discussion we participated in about the Amish and their lifestyle...

George Carlin Dead at Age 71 - MSN TV News (*sighs*) What a loss....how sad. You will be missed Mr. Carlin - thanks for all the side-splitting laughs over the years. I can remember being about 12 and 'secretly' hearing your record while the adults listened in the next room. Your comedy was always dead on and your social commentary brilliant - rest in piece sir.

Dublin.... (pics here) Dublin is a major city. The last leg of our trip and the point from where we would depart the emerald isle. Frankly, after the serenity and beauty of the west coast, entering Dublin was depressing... We drove straight on through and headed directly to the last bed and breakfast we would call home for the next two days. To date, this was the warmest welcome we received

Well...not really... I just wanted to let y'all know that these posts about our honeymoon are rather long, and perhaps (for some of you) tedious - but I know of no way of shortening them - I am trying to be as succinct as possible so hopefully, you will glean some pleasure from the stories of our adventure(s)...

We left Dingle as I said and headed towards Cashel. Erin has been really marvelous about driving. He offered to let me drive but I declined - thinking back on this I should have if only for the mere reason of giving him a break. At any rate we decided on the way to Cashel to take a break - I needed to find another sweater and some shoes to go with my dress because once we hit Dublin I wanted

Today we left the wonderful Newpark House and headed towards Dingle (yes I'd change my name too - there's a bit of a scandalous history to the name of this place - look it up..). Before we got into Dingle (and as per one of our hosts from Newpark, Declan) we stopped at the village of Adare. Adare is know for it's thatched-roofed cottages. What an absolutely wonderful town. We had a nice lunch

First and foremost let me say how happy I am to have married Erin and to now be his wife. I am sure we will come across rough time as all couples do - but I know I married the man of my dreams and it was a dream come true to say those two little words, 'I Do'. Our honeymoon began in full force on the 9th of June. We were dropped off by our dear friend Paul (he was also Erin's best man) at a
