Wearing Red Roses is just the Beginning

A sure sign that you are falling in love is that you become more yourself, doing things you never dared to do… As if loving gives the heart courage to expand, opening one’s desire to journey towards being one’s very best self.

  1. Reading this, after reading about your mother’s first anniversary without your dad, reminded me of the powerful cycle of live and love. How sweet and beautiful that the beauty of love can be repeated throughout the generations.
    Sending you love dear Corey. Your beautiful words and images are awesome. xx, JP/deb

    I agree with Gail. I pray that one day this happens to me!

  4. Now that is SO SO SO true. I know I always feel like a more real, complete, braver and truer version of me with my husband than I could ever be with family or friends or alone.

  5. What a happy time for you all, Corey.

    So lovely. JP/deb is correct about the cycle continuing. It gives me hope. I remember when Chelsea was saying, “He’s just a friend”…and oh, how important that is, to be a friend before you fall in love.

    Corey, Thanks so much for contacting me about the redirect problem with my blog. I’ve had “another” day of learning-to-blog lessons (the hard way — of course), but I solved my problem. You’ve inspired me in more than one way today. Thanks a BUNCH! : )

  28. Oh, I should have saved my ‘oo la Lah~’ for this photo –
    Beautiful!
