engaged

It's been two weeks exactly since we got engaged. And I have had to do more planning that I anticipated in those two weeks...

First, Mandar's parents leave tomorrow for India. Measurements have been taken of me, my mom, and my aunt for some clothing. Also, their "preliminary" guest list and budget have been discussed. My parents have yet to get me their "preliminary" guest list. They have 2 more weeks to get it to me. Their budget will be discussed this weekend.

After that, NO planning for 2 weeks. Because one week of work and one week of vacation in the Keys. I love my life!

(Then off to find a venue(s) and set a date.)

I'm also going to take some more creative photos of my ring and then post them.

30th birthday

Whose unchanging self
has an opportunity in gaining
a deeper understanding
of our captives?


Overwhelming closure
begins to arise from inside
my body
wanting to make
phenomena as
unhappiness and
kaleidoscopoic manipulative behavior end
breaking barriers
squirming emotionally


Sweet Bliss


Now I remind myself
while feeling afraid
to love life anyway
frothy and elusive
feeling lighter
than air


Perfect


Where inner light shines
and grows
at its hand.


The self explains
How spirits feel
A charm that permits
mind and body
to shine.


In spite of everything
I still believe
that people are really
good at heart.
