Lost in His Kiss

by Raven Guide

Sigh…. It never gets old or common place.. that kiss…. when his lips touch mine I find myself lost in his kiss. You know how in those romantic movies the camera slows to focus on the couple locked in a magical kiss.. the camera zooms in on their faces and slowly encircles them as the background becomes fuzzy and fades away …. as if the world around them has completely disappeared… well that’s exactly how I feel every time my husband’s lips touch mine.

No matter what else in the world is going on … my worries and my stress lessen and I am lost in the magic of a single kiss. Moments I treasure … moments that stay with me long after they are gone.

Take time in your life to treasure those moments… a kiss, a warm embrace, a glance in your direction, a smile, a touch … time passes so quickly and our lives are filled with things to be done.. don’t let these small but priceless treasures get lost in the busy… busy .. hustle of  day to day living.

When those moments come … take in the moment and relish it … allow yourself to truly be in that moment and not elsewhere.

Many Blessings,

Magic Wish

I wrote this a few years back and thought it was a time to reshare :-)
Don’t Make Me

Don’t make me call on the rain to hide the tears

Don’t make me call on the wind to carry away the fears

Don’t make me!

I tell you I have been there … so many times.. I have visited this place … you know.. that sad place deep inside you where you go to when you’ve been hurt.. when you’re sad and lonely .. when you feel like no one else in the world feels the way you do.

That place you escape to … that place where you think no one will notice how sad and lonely you are or how deeply hurt you may be..

I just wanted to send out a great big {{{hug}}} to all those finding themselves in that place.

So I’m posting this little message to let you know you’re not alone.. there are people who care.. you just have to let them help you .. let them love and care for you ..

Pull yourself out of that lonely place and try to have a bit of fun.. laugh … and live .. don’t let anyone make you feel like you don’t deserve to be loved ..

Here’s a bit of magic coming your way .. hoping you’ll be able to laugh and have some fun … and most importantly feel the love this magic wish brings

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now close your eyes and count to three…
Nod your head and accept this magic wish I send to out thee…..

Jump up and stomp the ground .. bang on the floor and make a lot of sound!

Turn on some musical tunes … now scream and shout at the moon

Spin and turn around really really fast … keep on going as I finish out this wish I cast

Now stop and throw your arms up into the air ….
Cast away all your worries and all your cares

Pull your arms in really close and give yourself a great big hug …
Hold on tight…. make it really really snug

Feel the magic from above .. feel the warmth and all my love

I’m sending you now, a magic feather
Now see.. don’t you feel better?

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Sentimental me

It’s late and I’m feeling all sentimental and mushy tonight…. so you know me.. that raven that talks too much and who likes to ramble on and on … I must stay true to me and do exactly that .. hee hee

First of all I must let out a very heavy sigh…..

I was reading through some old emails between me and my husband before we were husband and wife…. we sure were sickening …lol… so much mushy mushy lovey dovey words exchanged between us .. and do you know what…. I would never want to change one moment of it :-)

If you only knew how much I love my husband…
If you knew how in awe I am of him every day …. ok most days …lol
If you knew how just the mere thought of him makes me smile from the inside out … yes still even after years of marriage and lots of uphill battles…
If you knew how his kisses still make the world around me stop …
If you knew how all day long while I am at work … I think about him and count down the minutes til I get home … just to see him again…
If you knew how very true every word of this really is …
If you knew all this you might think .. OMG she is wrapped! LOL
Yes I am … it’s true… and I don’t mind it one bit .. in fact I wouldn’t have it any other way

I know it’s sad … lol..
How on earth this man has me so in love with him is beyond me .. but I am and I wouldn’t change it for the world… from that very first moment I spoke to him so many years ago… he had me from the moment he waved me down ….. and whether he likes it or not he has me for the rest of my life.

I use to dream about being with him and how it would be … that dream became reality and let me tell you …. we have our moments … but all in all.. they are the best moments of my life and I am ever so thankful we met… and even more thankful that I get to lay my head down next to his each and every night for the rest of my days.

I’ve heard some say that you don’t need another to complete you that you should complete yourself… My life just would not be whole without him…. and thats an understatement. He doesn’t make me who I am and I don’t make him who he is … but together … sigh…. together we are something entirely different …

I dare not even compare it to a puzzle with a missing piece … and that he is that piece that makes me whole.. complete..

It’s beyond puzzle pieces …..

It’s more like hydrogen and oxygen …. separately they are each their own thing .. together they make something completely different … each keeping their own specific properties … but together they quench the earth of a never ending thirst …

and oh how he quenches my thirst .. giggles… :-)

ok ok .. I’ll stop my sentimental rambling for now and get myself to bed…

Goodnight my wordpress friends…
Sweetest of dreams and blessings to all

It's Right There!

It’s right there next to you, behind you, in front of you, above, below and all around you. It’s right there!

Peace, love, joy and excitement.

Sure there are other things as well… but that doesn’t take away the peace, love, joy and excitement that also exist.

It may be storming but the love, peace, joy and excitement can still be found… if you just look for it.

If all you look for is rain.. that’s all you will find.

Take each day as it comes and find some enjoyment in each day.

A cool breeze on a hot, sunny day.
A refreshing moment beneath a shade tree.
The warmth of a sweater on a cold night.
The coolness of your pillow on the flip side.
A smile
A giggle
A friend
A kiss
A hug
A snuggle
The warmth of a campfire
Lightening bugs a dusk
The song of a bird
The purrr of a kitten
An eager welcome home from your pet
The smell of jasmine blooming in late spring
Snow cones and ice cream!
4 leaf clovers
Babies sleeping
The quiet at the end of a long day
The chatter of children at play
Movie Night
Doing something right
Sunsets and sunrises
Unexpected surprises

It’s all there… no matter where you go…

Just take another look and you’ll see … It’s Right There!

Many Blessings for a great day!

On the Attack!

Today I want to speak a little about how we beat ourselves up... why we beat ourselves up and how to stop the cycle.


I would say that the majority of us have done this in one way or another... we do something or don't do something and then beat ourselves up over it.


Examples:

I should have said ....

I shouldn't have said....

I should have done this... or that ...I could have done more...

I could have gone farther...

I forgot this .. or forgot that ....

I could have ..

I should have...

Why didn't I...

Why did I....


blah blah blah ... the possibilities are endless..


Why do we feel so much guilt for things we did or didn't do?


Why then do we torture ourselves with it? Going over and over in our heads .. arguing with ourselves and convincing ourselves that we are less than we should/could be.For some, maybe making ourselves feel bad is so familiar that it feels safe to us.. of course we don't "knowingly" do this ... but we do it.Feeling bad can be so common to us that when there is nothing else to make us feel bad .... we then abuse ourselves in one way or another.. sometimes it is by talking ourselves down... sometimes it is by making decisions that we know are not good for us... and sometimes it is more like a constant arguing with yourself. How do we stop this cycle?


Heck if I know!! I still do it ... for instance:


This past weekend I fell and hurt my hip and knee ... I've recently signed up at the YMCA and am on a mission to rid myself of this excess weight I've been carrying around ... so this week I have gone to the gym .. I have worked out .. but not full force. My thought is that I don;t want to push myself too far and hurt my knee more and then not be able to work out at all... but as soon as I tell myself that is the reason for not going full force.. I feel guilt .. I know I can do more and so I argue with myself over my own answers...lol.. it's madness! I feel bad for not doing more ... even though it truly is a possibility that if I do push myself to go all the way that I could really strain my knee to the point of being out of commission for a while.. so why can't I be happy with what I have done.. why beat myself up for what I haven't done?


Getting myself to the gym and doing what I've been doing this week is far more than what I was doing so why is that not enough? Why do I feel the need to beat myself up over it? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...


I know many of you will relate...


Over the years, I do feel that I am doing better at not beating myself up as I use to.. but it still happens ... I'm guessing the key is to become aware that we are doing this and once it begins.. STOP! Let it go no further. Pat yourself on the back for noticing and for putting an end to the torture to more forward. Once step at a time...


Many Blessings and healing hugs,

I'm Letting Go

I’m letting go of this pain ..
Hoping it will move on like yesterday’s rain

No longer does it have a place within
No more sadness .. I’m sending it away with the wind

The hurt is far more than I can bare
I’m washing it away like the grey in my hair

Happiness and light are welcome to stay
As for this pain … you can go and stay far far away

Leave me alone I don’t like how you make me feel
It seems harder each time to heal

I’m not your victim.. I’m not your prey
What more is there to say

Hurt and Pain … it’s you I really don’t like!
I don’t care if you leap, run, drive or take flight!

Just go now and take a hike!





Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Message from Spirit

ok take two... lol...


Spirit gently whispers in my ear ... PURPOSE


Let go of the idea that you have to find your purpose as if you are not already living it.


We each have our own purpose and you may be surprised to find out that the purpose of life is the same for all of us.


It's in living ... living life well and becoming and being the best that we can.


We were born with love and in becoming who we are we struggle and sometimes think we have lost that love ... we haven't ... it's there... it's waking up to realize that it never left us.. not for one second .. it was just waiting for us to notice.


It's often hardest to see what's right there in front of our faces.


just sayin....


Many Blessings,
Raventalker

My Love

Words seem to fail me when I try to describe what love feels like to me..
The first thing I do when I think of love... is sigh.. a huge, deep, full body sigh..
The second thing I do is smile.. with my whole heart and soul.. I smile from the inside out.

Then I think of my soul mate and just by typing that word the biggest grin ever suddenly covers my entire face and I feel the light inside me glowing brighter than it possibly can. I think of forever and I think of the past, present and future.


There is an old saying that your soul mate is someone that was once part of you.. together you made a whole and at some point you were split apart and separated. I can honestly say that when I explore my deepest feelings, I find that I believe that old saying to be true.


From before I was born it has felt like there was something missing inside me... my whole life I have felt like I have been on a search for something to fill that void. It didn't matter how spiritual I became, it didn't matter how much I filled my life with people, hobbies or things... there was something always missing.


Many stories of love have been told.. fairytales they call them (a folk story about real-life problems, usually with imaginary characters and magical events). Fairytales known by children to be the things we dream of, things that can be achieved if we truly believe... later to be known by adults as far-fetched stories just a bunch of make believe.


Like many, I have dreamed often of that knight on his horse, true and strong.. and how he rides into my life when I need him most, to rescue me from the evils of the world. How he pulls me into his arms, holds me close and kisses me with the kiss of true love.


A Fairytale?


With one big sigh and a smile from my soul, I say to you that it is true - that if you believe, it can come true.

From the moment I saw my husband's name I knew.. there was something inside me that suddenly woke up.... Like a kitten hearing the food bowl being filled, the senses inside me perked up and excitement filled parts of me I never knew existed.


And then we met ...............

Reaching out to hold his hand was like finding my way home .. and I had been lost and cold for a very long time.
His kiss seemed to have stopped the world around us. Time stood still.
My heart, more full than it had ever been before.


Each day I wake up more in love than the day before. I can't begin to explain the happiness that lives deep within my whole being. I am now where I have always wanted to be.. where I have always belonged. It is truly as if being split apart and finally becoming as one. There is no fear, no pain, no regret, no sadness .. only love ... a really great love.

May love find it's way back to you as it has to me.




Always Believe.



Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Let Me Be....

To my husband, my love, my one and only....


Let Me Be…


Think of me in a kind and loving way
Feel my heart in the words that I say


Let me be more than some romantic notion
Recite me like the ingredients of a spellbound potion


Allow my hands to help you heal
Know that my love for you is real


Remember the twinkle in my eyes that let you know
That you are the one who makes the light inside me glow


Chant me like a sacred song
Love me as forever is long


Know me inside and out
Hold me in your heart without any fear, without any doubt


Let me be your muse, I'll share with you my magic light
Hold me close, everyday and every night


Love me in a true and honest fashion
I'll give to you my devoted love and passion


I want to be the poetry that lies within your soul
I'll be the greatest love you'll ever know


Let me be the rain that quenches your thirst
The one you wake and think of first


Lull me like a magic rhyme
You'll see how our love will withstand the test of time


Cast me like your most cherished wish to the heavens
Remember the day we wed, the three sevens


Let me be your most fond memory
I give to you my heart and all that is me.


All my love..
Holly

One Thousand Times

One Thousand Times

One thousand times I’ve been born
One thousand times I’ve died

The years have passed by like a soft whisper in the wind
Days and nights gone without my knowing

One thousand paths I have walked
One thousand lessons I have learned

Tears I have cried for so many reasons
Smiles, laughter and love have helped me make it through the seasons

One thousand rights
One thousand wrongs

Blessings and curses bestowed upon me
Love, the miracle that always brings me back to why I’m ME

One thousand ways
One thousand times

One thousand pairs of eyes
One thousand ways to see

One thousand lips to be kissed
One thousand people, wondering if ever they were missed

One thousand ways to go
One thousand reasons to live again

One thousand times ……
