My heart aches as I see the pain in your eyes. I will embrace you as the tears stream down your face. Your laughter once carried the song of a careless bird. Why have you allowed him to strip you to the core?
You tell me that he will change and you have decided to wait.
Love does not make you wait for what you deserve.
Heart of the Hurricane by Nancy Wolfe Kimberly
Nancy Wolfe Kimberly, a brilliant artist and reader of my blog from New Orleans, Louisiana sent me this stunning piece as a housewarming gift. It made me appreciate the connection between bloggers/writers and readers. I hope one day to visit your shores and give you a big hug. The Heart of the Hurricane is on our living room wall. Mister and I love this piece and we’ve received so many compliments. Thank you, Nancy. You’re beautiful!

Our “Samoan Corner” features a Fue and To’oto’o, used by talking chiefs. The Kava Bowl is used in Samoan ceremonies and above this is three carved Naifi (knives/axes).
Mister and I enjoyed a vacation in Samoa. We were happy to see family and enjoy mango season (my favorite fruit). Samoa is a special place for us as we are both of Samoan descent and it is the place we first met as mentioned in this post.
Mister and I at ‘Aga Reef Resort. Breathtaking backdrop of Lalomanu’s mountainside.
We spent a day deep in the forest of Utualii preparing food using a traditional cooking method known as an Umu, an earth oven. This practice is commonly used in Polynesia. Mister was happy going back to his roots and we enjoyed the company of his siblings with a few bottles of Vailima.
Size 2 Pig, Taro and Ka’amu. Samoan treats usually eaten on special occasions or for Sunday lunch.
Breakfast & Coffee date with Mister at one of our favorite places, The Cozy Cafeteria. Mister had the Big Breakfast and I had the Salmon Bagel with Avocado.
I have recently discovered, Rekordelig. A gorgeous cider made in Sweden. So delicious with lots of fruit.
Rekordelig delights by the pool.
I stumbled across Trent Shelton and I love his frame of mind.
