My Dreamy Promises Have Broken
Married 11 years. This is my one and only love. He proposed to me on a playground. This was the man who taught me the meaning of love. We were a part of what God truly meant to be as husband and wife. My best friend, an aura of comfort as I held him in my arms. Every physical and spiritual fulfillment in a man I ever wanted. Not once did I want anyone else. No one could take his place.
We were to renew our vows. I practiced for months, my new vows-I would repeat them in the car, or in the grocery store silently. I could not wait to begin our next years with good histories, and good hearts. To show him in renewed vows how over many years, ups and downs, I held solid in my devotion.
And then promises were broken.
At first I focused mainly on how I couldn't even breathe without him. A pattern of hurtful words, plans never made and even an affair. I endured pulling him back from someone else's arms, his eyes so sincere with lies, his words so very melodical and spellbinding. I listened believing every word he said. I crushed every time he entered a room. I could not see or believe what was going on. No Christmas presents, no birthday presents, no anniversary plans carried through, talking to me like I was a stranger, a list too long to share.
I often asked myself, 'What did I do?' or 'Why did he do this?' It took a while for me to figure this out. He had changed. I did not change. My love was still strong. I could battle all external things, but not the man himself.
His last promise he made was that he was going to come back to me and we would live together always, never to be apart, grow old together. He told me he cried when he thought of what a mistake it was he said by telling me goodbye two days after Christmas. Then just weeks ago he tells me that his job has become more important and he knows I have a job that I finally have after years of looking. When a man picks a job over his wife...well it's time to leave. But that's not the worst promise broken.
The one thing I asked him not to break was that I asked him not to put me through any more pain. This was my final outcome.
I took the final step and decided to walk away. I am ready now. He has lost the one thing he should have never let go of. I think I deserve better. I am the one who has no guilt, or remorse. And it takes my own strength to break the chains I put on myself by loving a man and forgetting to respect myself.
There is strength in the power of goodbye, it all begins with courage.

I Like Remembering My Dreams
dancing in the air |
Dreams are special and very personal. Despite the private nature of this phenomenon, dreambanks where people can upload, search and analyze dreams are becoming a trend. I once posted a highly interesting dream study here.
I like remembering my dreams. The first thing I do when I wake up, I try to recall details of my dreams, for they are mostly of predictive nature. My dreams are colourful, beautiful and adventurous. I think I had only a couple of nightmares in my whole life. Sometimes I think my dreams are the reason why I do not feel like watching films - the films just can not compete
Today I thought of sharing with you my 3 most beautiful dreams, for I hope they are enjoyable. Welcome to the world of my dreams!
1. The Rose-coloured City
This is a dream which I had many years back but it is still in my memory because of its incredible beauty and impression upon me: I found myself walking in a huge City all made of some unknown rose-coloured building material. It looked a bit futuristic, somehow unearthly and very clean. I met several people on the streets, but generally it looked a bit empty. I don’t remember any special plot of this dream, but the feeling of being there I can recall any time… Awesome!
2. Dancing in the air
This dream is my favourite by its fairy beauty and breathtaking sensation. I was dancing in the air above a field, I was clad in a very long pink dress out of finest silk and chiffon, it felt and looked very ethereal. And I was beautifully singing! It felt so natural, as if I have been doing it my whole life… Dancing and singing in the rose sunset sky over a wheat field… Unforgettable!
3. My birthday dream
This is a special dream, both because it’s so meaningful and because I dreamt it on my birth night (I was born at night). I was climbing a high and steep rock leading straight to the sky. The rock was very narrow (probably 2 m wide) and really too steep. However on both the sides of it I could see majestic landscapes. On the left hand side there have been soft green hills, blue sparkling river just by the rock and people here and there, doing some work or travelling. On the right hand side I saw a vast red land with rocks and deserts, very powerful and beautiful too. Also some peple here and there. Both sides looked very attractive and welcoming to explore… But I was climbing my steep rock. At some point I met a sage meditating on the path. He told me I took the right path. I was happy to hear that And just continued along my way…
I know it was a very good dream (going upwards is always a good sign). The natural yogic explanation that comes to my mind here would be that I have chosen the middle path despite the right or the left one. Whatever it is, this dream was indeed a great birthday gift!
Hope you enjoyed reading about my dreams and please feel free to share yours, as a comment or may me as a tag on your blog.

Love Is A Beautiful Dream
"Close your eyes" Maryian said..
"And the first thing you think of is.. what you really desire..."
I did and all I could see was Him...
Yes, my dream crush, Brandon Marshall, that tall dark and handsome guy who I watched every Thursday mourning at my job.. He would deliver packages.
I knew every girl practically loved Brandon, he was gorgeous, he looked as if he stepped out of a model ad for Tommy Hilfiger ad. I mean it wasn't just his looks the boy had a personality, he spoke Italian, his mom was part that and he can cook a mean Lasnaga .. so i heard.. well one day while dreamin' about my future "hubby" lol.. i drifted off to a dream of him and me kissing by the pond out there near the park.. i always wanted to just be with him doing something sweet.. but I was just average girl.. don't get me wrong i was cute.. not as cute as Arie` (Are-Ree) his ex-girl miss model- she was skinny- well any ways all I wanted to do was get lost in his hazel browns and kiss his soft lips till I couldn't kiss him anymore. So one day while talking to the customer at the coffee shop. Brandon came in just as he usually did every Thursday with a hand full of boxes delivering packages. There stood this fine 6' hazel eyes full lips curly hair guy. My heart danced as he came near- could it be he's finally going NOTICE me!!!.. so he looks at my way- i die!! he than smiles- i look to see if any girl was behind me. My Co-worker, Maryian was smiling tords me- she knew i liked him- hello! he's all i talk 'bout since i first saw him, well anyways here he comes closer- i feel sweaty and my hear pounds a mile a minute- sounds of love music plays in my mind.
Well he comes near and says.. , So, i noticed you cutie what's your name?
"I was shaking and i told him it's , "NaTasha"
He than looked in my eyes i felt so happy...
he than than took my hand and kissed it and said.. he been noticing me every time he was shy and he couldn't keep his feelings in any longer.
I nearly fainted...
He than asks me down near the pond by the park downtown my dream spot..
I agree..
So later we I meet him there he's looking even cuter under moonlight.
He brings a CD Boombox and bottle of wine with two glasses.
He lays out a blanket and bends over ( nice butt =) } anyways he turned on the Radio.. and 'butterflies'- By Michael Jackson flows through the air. He than pulls me near and looks in my dazed my eyes.. and i feel dizzy in his arms - i wonder am i dreaming?
well he whispers.. to me "Il vostro così bello stasera"- Speaking Italian-I ask him what he just said he said "Your beautiful tonight"
It sounds good in any language i thought.
He than holds me tight and we dance slowly to the music.. his hands explore me and my heart beats to every touch. He slightly pulls away and looks me in my eyes and than he kisses my lips and i swear i felt my heart stop the world froze and than something took over my body. He than pulls away and kisses me again. I feel rain drops touch my skin as it lightly pours. we still dance and kiss in the rain. He than pulls away a he lays me out on the blanket and he lays besides me he pours the wine and we talk about everything and i feel im fallin' in love with him and i knew that my heart was his now. He took his hands and lightly touched my face and my heart jumped. He looked in my eyes and he smiled. We cuddled as it slightly rained- ROMANTIC!!! anyways he said he liked me the whole time and he was shy and now that he has me- he wouldn't let me go so easy/ I was very happy as we laid there most of the night just talking about life.. well about a year later.. we married and now we still come back to this spot to dance....and talk till the sunrise.. love happened to me and i say hey as much as you think he'll never be yours. think again Love will happen if it's suppose to happen ..Remember that.

As of next week it’s all change on the blog, more details about this will be on the blog tomorrow, but Fabulous Photos is being replaced by another bigger and better Sunday feature. I may occasionally add a fabulous Photo into the week’s post, if I see something I particularly like, but from now on Sundays will be filled with much more wedding fabulousness!
Tomorrow is also the launch of the new Look search function on the bog. I’ve been working away at the back-end of the blog to make it a lot more user-friendly, so adding in a new navigation bar at the top with many more categories so finding your favorite articles and posts will be a lot easier. As of tomorrow I will be blogging twice a day and adding in lots of new features! I will also be able to show you the results of the readers survey which I found really interesting……………So lots to come back for on the blog tomorrow!
As for today, I am cooking a roast dinner for my in-laws and my sister-in-law Johanna (who is getting married next June) so lots fo wedding talk do doubt. Johanna will be on the blog on Wednesday in a new feature I will be running, so you’ll get to hear more about her wedding plans then. But today is family day and I can’t wait to tuck into some good food!
It’s a totally stunning photo from the a totally stunning wedding of Megan & Mike . I just love Joanan’s use of light, her style is so soft and romantic, dreamy, whimsical…………it really feels like you are watching a very secret moment for this bride and groom, who seem totally besotted and immersed in each other!
I had the pleasure of working with Joanna at a wedding at the beginning of October and I can say first-hand she is a delight, very professional and highly creative in her work, any bride and groom would be lucky to have her!
I love the Barbers, I love them and I love their work, I at last got to meet them a few weeks ago at the Designer Vintage Bridal Show, and they were as full of fun and life as I imagined they would be. I love their work, it’s full of great composition, imaginative angles, and you can really feel the character of the couple through their photos. This photo in particular is of Chris and Beth who got married in July at Bockleton. They had a Village fete theme wedding with a Dog Show……..yes a dog show! I chose this photo in particular as it’s just so warm, romantic and full of gorgeous sunlight, the barbers have captured a truly magical moment!

Dream Mate
Years ago I asked God to send me a wife, for the Bible says “you have not because you ask not“. I told the Lord not just that I wanted a wife but even explained to him the kind of wife I was looking for.
I told him I wanted someone who is kind, tender, gentle, compassionate, loving, sincere, peaceful, generous, affectionate, understanding, passionate, warm, intelligent, humorous, sensual, and trustful. I even mentioned things I wanted her to be physically. And as time passed, I would add more things to this list of my heart desire for a wife.
Then one night in prayer God spoke to my heart and said... “Son I can not give you what you've asked me for.“ I said, “Why not Lord?“ He replied, “For I am a just God and a God of righteousness and all I do is just and right.“ I said, “Lord, I don't understand why I cannot have what I have asked you for.“
He replied, “Then I will explain. It would not be just and right for me to grant to you your wish for I cannot give unto you something that you are not yourself. It would not be fair for me to grant unto you a person that is loving if you can sometimes be hateful, or someone that is kind if you can also be mean, someone that is a forgiver and yet you can still carry a grudge, someone that is sensitive and you are yet so insensitive... etc.
He said unto me, “Instead of wasting time trying to find someone or hoping that I will give you someone with all these qualities you seek, you should rather allow me to take this time to allow you to become all it is that you are looking for. For I cannot give to you that which you are not.“
“And if you allow me to work up on your spirit and to shape and mold your heart as I choose then when you see the one I have for you, you will be able to say like Adam said... “She is bone of my bone and she is flesh of my flesh“ for you will see yourself in her for you both will be one flesh.“
Keep this in mind.
This is for all:
the recently married;
the ones who have been married;
the soon to get married;
and the ones that are still looking.
God made woman from man's rib --
not from his head to top him,
nor from his feet to be walked upon;
but from his side to be his partner in life,
from under his arm to be protected by him,
and from near his heart to be loved by him.
Whether or not you believe in God, much of the above still applies.

My One Day Dreamy House Tour
Their dream home took them a year and a half to complete from the design and concept stage to the certificate of occupancy. They selected award-winning Morgan Hatfield of Hatfield Homes to bring their vision to life. Cristi's husband Jeff actually did quite a bit of the architectural design while Cristi worked very closely with another award-winner, talented interior designer Lindy Allen of Four Chairs Furniture. She was able to perfectly implement all of those fabulous ideas Cristi had been saving for so long. (In fact, it's an honor to know a lot of her inspiration actually came from reading House of Turquoise!) Building their new home was a labor of love for them and it truly is "their baby"!
Cristi may not be a designer, but it should come as no surprise that she does indeed have an artistic background. She's not only musical, but is also a photographer by profession. (She and Jessi Safsten took all these amazing images above!) Check out their website here...what talent! Cristi also has a really fun and colorful Etsy shop where she sells cute recycled accessories and her beautiful prints.
Seriously, I'm madly in love with this home and Cristi's photographs that capture it so beautifully. Pretty sure if I was going to build my dream home it would look exactly like this. All week I'm going to be taking you on a tour of their entire home, so come back tomorrow to continue on! I can't wait for you guys to see more of it...I guarantee you'll love it all!

A Dreamy Destination Wedding in Mexico
So it’s a little dark, dreary and miserable here today in the UK. (Well it is where I am in the North West), I’m even sat here with the lights on during the day, boohoo, and I will admit the power function on my little fan heater keeps slipping to ‘on’. It’s going to be a long winter if it’s already like this now.
So I think we need a little cheering up don’t we? And the best way to do that is with a little sun. We may not have it ourselves but let’s live vicariously through the wedding of Aileen and Alex, which took place in Los Cabos, Mexico.
All captured by superb photographer Jana Williams of Jana Williams Photography. There’s a beautiful sandy beach, the most delicate of pink bouquets, huge cushions and low tables for relaxing into the night as they listened to the waves lapping beside them and watched that gorgeous sunset turn the sky a sunny red.
Oh it’s such a relaxed and intimate wedding, a perfect example of how destination can be so very delightful. For me there’s just something so appealing about a beach wedding, the feel of sand between your toes, dinner outside in the fresh air. Yes I think I am sold on a beachwedding, now I just need a man to ask me to marry him. Hmmmm?
