Martini Party 2009

Ok so I am a wine girl at heart but... everyone once in awhile I fancy a martini. So Sara had a martini party and we all brought our favorite martini mixes to sample. We had appletinis, chocolatetinis, pomatinis, blue-raspberrytinis, and many more tinis.... The food was decadent, there was great energy in the air and the martinis were shaken and flowing oh so perfectly. So after many martinis we put on some music and did what girls do best we danced til our hearts content. What a great way to just let yourself be free and forget about all of life's stresses.

There is something ehxilarating about just letting your guard down and just being you! Life has a way of making us forget about who we really are and what truly makes us happy. We get so focused on doing and saying the right things all the time that somehow along the way we forget to just have FUN. So take some time to appreciate and love your true self. Get out of your comfort zone and take a chance in life you may be pleasantly surprised where it will take you! Cheers!

Love in the most unusual places ....


This heart was discovered by my friend Stefanie after her mom passed away. It is quite an amazing thing the power of love. One day Stefanie walked outside her house and found that the snow had melted and left the shape of a heart. She believes this was from her mother who had recently passed away. Stefanie and her mom were so close they shared an amazing bond. One can only wish for such an amazing relationship that they shared. I thought this story should be shared with everyone because it so so inspiring and it shows that love comes when you least expect it.

Love is a powerful thing it knows no boundaries and it is always unconditional. Love is always there waiting to be embraced. So in your day to day life try and appreciate the good things , love comes in many forms , sometimes in the form of friendship and sometimes in a simple gesture of kindness. Love is not prejudice or judgmental, it is just simple... So today tell someone you love how much they are appreciated & loved whether it is your dog, your sister your husband or friend ! I love you family & friends have a heart filled day of LOVE
