Story of Love

Story of Love
by Danielle Zazueta

With wild abandon and no thought to expense
Great Love
Giving it all for those we love
Love shown in many ways
Learning to give and receive love
Souls having sense of God's love
Love cannot be bought no matter how much we try
Enjoy the moment
Vulnerability comes from being so open
Never taking advantage of a generous friend or heart
Love and Sensuality
Radical love is giving the courage and respite needed before the final journey

As I wrote this poem, I was reminded of Califmom, who's radical love and devotion will, no doubt, give her husband the courage and strength to keep up the fight. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Best Birthday I Ever Had

When I was 8 years old, my birthday was on Friday, the 13th. This is the first time I can remember it being on a Friday.

In 1983, Cabbage Patch Kids were the biggest thing to hit the toy market. Parents were wrestling these chubby cheeked funny looking kids supposedly born in a cabbage patch. My cousin worked at Mervins and helped my grandmother secure one for my birthday. I was so very excited that I placed my new friend in the basket of my pink Huffy and rode all over the neighborhood to show everyone.

Ever since then, the number 13th has been my favorite number and I get extra excited when my day falls on a Friday. When I was pregnant, I even wanted to name my son, Thirteen. Since my husband thought I was insane, we ended up naming him, Dustin.

Wordless Wednesday - At The Park

Monday, Dustin & I went to the park to enjoy the sunshine. Since I have received requests for more pictures of Dustin, Wordless Wednesday seemed a perfect opportunity.

Dustin is so mobile now, he was all over this park and did not stop moving until I put him in the car.

I look forward to more park visits. Not only is Dustin able to burn some energy, but I am able to take in some mood boosting Vitamin D. Perfect combo.
