Super Hero Powers

My husband and I often talk about Super Hero Powers. To some, you might think we were a little on the nutty side but hey, that's your opinion. As far as we are concerned we're the coolest Mema and PopPop around. We know about Superman, Batman and Ironman. To Vinnie and Nicky we are way cool because of this.

Tom would like the power of being invisible. It's an okay power, great for eavesdropping, but that is about the extent of that. My power would be to fly. I think it would be the coolest thing to get from Point A to Point B with no wait time.

This is what I had to tell myself when I got into this puddle jumper. I was using my super power. I was flying. I thought by the time the flight was over that I would have thrown myself down on the runway and kissed the ground but it had been a great flight. It had been positively euphoric and I can hardly wait to do it again.

A Mother's Love

No one will ever witness a mother’s strong will
While everyone else thinks she may be weak
That’s usually then when her strength abounds
Though her temperance might sometimes appear meek.

When they’re small she monitors their every move
In control of where they go and what they do.
She is their protection in a world so big and wide
The one when they are frightened they have run to.

Then one day she awakens and the earth has shifted
They no longer need her as they had before
So a little bit at a time she has to learn to step back
The little arguments have turned into a hard cold war.

Although she may disagree with her children’s actions
She may speak up when she thinks they’re headed for a fall
They brush aside the wisdom she tries to share
As they have now erected an insurmountable wall.

Sometimes she has to construct her own wall of defense
While she prays to God to bestow His strength from above
Keeping carefully guarded boundaries between mother and wife
While ever prayerful she has to put into effect some tough love.

The pain grips her heart as she feels powerless to help
And while her heart hurts to turn the other cheek
She knows if she doesn’t she will be just another enabler
So she digs her heels in when they accuse her of being weak.

She stands beside her husband to provide a united front
Though he doesn’t seem to feel the same intensity of pain
But a mother’s love runs deeper than any ocean
And she knows that these relationships will come through the rain.

As she stands unwavering while waiting for that break in the clouds
Wondering if there will be just a glimmer of some sunlight
She has faith that the light will eventually come bursting through
While keeping the Lord’s precious promises well within her sight.

Songs that make you go back in time…

Let me catch a snippet of a catchy tune. There goes that toe tapping and in the next breath I am lost in another place in time. The songs I gravitate to are the ones that I can completely identify with. I am on the same page as the writer. This person felt something; the same something that we share because I felt it too.

I already know that I am a hopeless romantic. A complete mush for a love story with some steamy scenes in between. “Keep it clean.”
All right! But there has to be passion. There has to be that magnetic pull. That satisfying ahhhh when the handsome hero pulls the heroine into his arms and she positively melts. You have to experience this. You have to live this.

Your first kiss, your first heart pounding, and your first fluttering butterflies you will remember FOREVER. Don’t fight it because you won’t win. Just cherish the memory and remember with a smile. And I do.

“Fairy tales don’t always have a happy ending, do they?” Fergie

“In my dreams I’ll always see you soar above the sky. In my heart there will always be a place for you for all my life. I’ll keep a part of you with me and everywhere I am there you’ll be.” Faith Hill (This is one of my all time favorites)

Sometimes all we can do is move forward. That is not to say that we won’t look back. The only difference now is that I am not looking back in regret. I’m looking back with a smile and a thank you. Because like Faith Hill sings ~ “I’ll keep a part of you with me and everywhere I am there you’ll be.”

Cryin' for me Wayman's song

Forever Purple Flowers

Remembering a special place
It wasn’t just a phase
Memories crystal clear
Never again will I fear

The flowers were in full bloom
When our love became our doom
Even as I have searched
My heart gives a sudden lurch

I will always remember
My first love – so very tender
A crazy world wind affair
The fond memories I’ll hold dear

Separated not only by the miles
I will remember your sweet smile
God’s promise for tomorrow
Forever purple flowers

Official Teaser for Midnight Magic

“Let me get this straight.” He took in a deep breath and turned on his side so that he was gazing into her beautiful stormy eyes. “You think that things have changed because I haven’t put any moves on you.” He paused. “When I thought that you didn’t want me to put the moves on you.”
A smile graced her lips. “You make it sound…”
“Do you think that I don’t want to?”
She opened her mouth then clamped it shut. “Because that is the furthest from the truth. I have to take a cold shower every night because I am always overheating whenever I’m around you.” He pulled a careless hand through his hair although his eyes never left hers. And then he was moving closer. To his surprise as well as delight she did not back off but stood her ground. “I’m going to…”
Victoria didn’t give him time to finish that sentence as she pressed her lips to his in order to receive his kiss. At the last possible second, she closed her eyes as Nick thoroughly explored her mouth with a hunger that could no longer be contained.
