Her Light

When I first "lost" my Mom, I couldn't feel her. I wasn't getting any signs from her like I did from my Dad. That left me sad and a little frightened. But as time went on, I slowly started getting signs from her. And now I know when she is close by because I've found the way she communicates with me...through music, numbers and a few other ways. 

I read this the other day from my favorite, Donna Ashworth, and it really resonated with me. I know my Mom never left me...it just took a while to find each other again. 

THEIR LIGHT WILL FIND YOU

We are all full of light.
Light that no-one can actually see,
but we feel it.
We go through life radiating this light,
and shining it on those we love.
And when someone we love leaves, it’s true,
our world really does fall dark.
Because that light source we couldn’t see,
but we felt,
has gone.
And it takes a while,
it takes time for them to settle somewhere else.
But I promise you, that light, it shines on us again.
From somewhere very different.
And we can’t see it but oh, we feel it.
Hold on through that dark period my love,
their light will find you.
And when it does,
it will never go dark again.

Florida Wedding

We had a quick getaway to St. Petersburg for my friend's daughter's wedding. The weather was so perfect! Such a fun weekend away with Danny and friends!


First up...lunch and drinks by the ocean...



Then a dinner gathering at the hotel with the wedding party and guests...


Afterwards, we took a walk down the street to a local bar to listen to music and have a few drinks...




In the morning, Danny and I stumbled upon an open market so we all did a little browsing and shopping...


Then it was back to the hotel pool for some pregaming drinks and snacks before the wedding that evening...


The wedding was held at the Sunken Gardens which was the most beautiful wedding venue I've ever attended. This is the area where they were wed. Just look at all those flowers in bloom! The weather could not have been more perfect...




Then we moved to another garden area for drinks before the reception started...









Then we moved to the reception tent which was again so stunning with all the pretty lights...




We all had so much fun and lots of laughs...










Sunday morning, Danny and I got a quick walk in to soak up the gorgeous weather. We had breakfast with the wedding party and friends and then it was off to the airport.




I would love to spend more time in St. Petersburg. Such a beautiful fun place!! But if you know me...I'm so happy to be home!
