Becoming Maverick’s Mama – Part 1

March 25, 2019 The Hopeful Romantic2 Comments

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it [...]

Things That go Bump in our Hearts

March 12, 2018March 12, 2018 The Hopeful RomanticLeave a comment

Do you ever find yourself over-whelmed and paralyzed by an unnamable fear pumping through your veins at 1000mph?  A fear that has no root in something that has actually happened, but rather a fear that has taken root and been fed by your subconscious mind? I often find myself in this world of worst-case-scenarios. It's [...]

There’d be No Rainbows without Rain…

November 9, 2017 The Hopeful Romantic6 Comments

Don't let this life get you down. We've only got one guarantee, and that is that none of us will be here forever. Don't let one dark day steal your sunshine. Don't let your tears wash away your joy. Promote peace and harbor hope. Be a safe place for those in need. Guard your heart but [...]

The Long Road Home (for the Eternal Optimist)

April 6, 2017April 6, 2017 The Hopeful Romantic4 Comments

In tumultuous times it's easy for us to point fingers and find fault. It's so much harder to look inside, to really look, and find ourselves lacking.  I looked inside and found that I am a selfish person.  My soul is sad. My soul is sad because there are people I love that have spent [...]

Home is Where the Heart is (but you still need somewhere to lay your head)

February 15, 2017February 15, 2017 The Hopeful Romantic3 Comments

Gosh. So Two thousand and WTF (2016) came into our lives like one of those tropical storms that get named after some poor, unsuspecting woman, who may have, once upon a time have done something to be remembered in such a manner. 2016 brought tears and heartbreak. Hardships and challenges. It also brought with it [...]

The Sea Calls out to my Soul

August 31, 2016September 1, 2016 The Hopeful Romantic3 Comments

Sun-kissed shoulders and salty kisses, the melody of waves that come back time and time again to caress the shore like a lover separated for too long, mermaid dreaming in an everyday world... The sea calls out to my soul, like a siren to a sailor. It is these things that heal me. It has been a time [...]

An Ode to That Which Matters

June 14, 2016June 14, 2016 The Hopeful RomanticLeave a comment

Take yourself out of the city. Out of the everyday race to work more and play less, and out of mobile phone signal, and most things will become clear. That which matters lives in your heart. It can't be bought, replicated, imitated or re-created. If you are anything like me you have reached a certain [...]

A Taste of Home

May 31, 2016May 31, 2016 The Hopeful RomanticLeave a comment

Winter is definitely making its presence known. The crisp, crackle in the morning air and the cooler evenings that make it ok to go home, put on your pj's and snuggle with a cup of hot chocolate. It's this time of year that makes me the most appreciative of the place I call home. My [...]

A Letter to My Daughter 

May 25, 2016October 21, 2016 The Hopeful RomanticLeave a comment

So my bestie is having a baby girl tomorrow. Thinking about this reminded me of something I wrote a while ago and I thought what better time, than on the eve of the birth of this precious soul, would there be to share this? You are perfectly you. You do not need to change in [...]

Chasing Snow

July 27, 2015July 28, 2015 The Hopeful RomanticLeave a comment

The middle of winter may seem a rather unlikely time to shrug off the warmth and protection of home sweet home to go adventuring but this is exactly why we forced our way out of hibernation and took to the road in search of adventure. To do something out of the ordinary and embrace spontaneity.
