The Man That You Are

The Man That You Are

I don't know how to tell you this

Or even how to start

My mind is telling me to stop

So I'll listen to my heart.

You inserted yourself into my life

In a quiet, friendly way

Encouraging me to think more of myself

And adding some cheer to my day.

I didn't quite know what to think of you

You were different from all other men

So encouraging and kind with a deep profound mind

Looking forward and not where you'd been.

You seemed to be a wise man

And loyal, sweet and true

You broke down my walls of  dark mistrust

And became my own"Guru."

But though I know you by your spirit

Mysterious you have remained

And I have come to this conclusion

That life minus you would just not be the same.

With you, I became my truest self

And not the woman I portray

To friends and family and fans

And passers-by throughout my day.

With you, I let my heart run free

Let down my hair and bare my soul

My wild and crazy, loving heart

That you make me feel is made of gold.

I like the me you saw in me

Unlike the me I always felt

Was inferior and nothing special

And doomed to play the cards life dealt.

I've seen your face a thousand times

On internet and laptop screens

That little "Mona Lisa" smile

That haunts me even in my dreams.

And I've done things with you in dreams

That I haven't done as yet for real

 Because you've taught me to let go

And go with what I want to feel.

I've been so shut off from the world

From life in general and from myself

Compartmentalized all parts of me

Till I didn't know what parts were left.

You took a frightened little girl

Who hid in books and poems and prose

And brought the woman out in me

That blossomed like your red, red rose.

And though I may not ever see

You near me as you dwell so far

I want to tell you here and now

That I love you for the man you are.

And the man you are is wonderful

And the man you are is great

And the man you are is heaven-sent

And so worth a long, long wait.

I don't know how I know you

I just know I've always known

And that when I first looked in your eyes

My heart felt it was home.

I know I shouldn't tell you this

I think you'll be quite caught off guard

But I have to tell you how I feel

Which for me, is very hard.

But I hope you take these words to heart

And know you are my shining star

And where ever you go in this life, you'll know

That I really do love the man that you are.

Wild Woman

I've Been Told That This Is Me. Do You Think This Is Me? A WILD WOMAN?

My Wolf Name is SILVER STORM.  That sounds about right. I love silver and I love storms.......smile

Are you a free spirit surrounded by domesticated comfort-junkies?

 Is your adventurous soul bursting at the seams of your comfort zone?

 Has your independence grown away from co-dependence into interdependence?

 Then you may be a wild woman.

Here, we will break down five specific signs that you may be a wild woman.

1.) You are a courageous vulnerability:

“In the end, I want my heart to be covered in stretchmarks

” ~ Andrea Gibson

There’s a wild woman in every woman, whether she’s aware of it or not.

 It may just require a deeper vulnerability to discover it. 

As such, courage is the first virtue of the wild woman.

 As Maya Angelou said, “Without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.”

As a wild woman, you realize that deep vulnerability is the key to courage.

 It is for this reason that you are willing to become a pulsing vulnerability.

 First, for yourself. And second, for others. Your vulnerability is a mighty beacon that

 lights up the path into the wild. Between worlds you shine, warm and ethereal.

2.) You are Mother Nature incarnate:

“With the wild nature as ally and teacher we see not through two eyes but through

 the many eyes of intuition. With intuition we are like the starry night,

 we gaze at the world through a thousand eyes.

The wild woman is fluent in the language of dreams, images,

 passion, and poetry.”

Wisdom and Goofy Stuff To Live By and Stuff...

17, Words of Wisdom and Goofy Stuff To Live By and Stuff....

Be brief, no matter how long it takes!

"You can't have everything. Where would you put it?"

"Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.”

"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot,
 and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"

"Success is just failure that hasn't happened yet."

“I'm sure the universe is full of intelligent life.
 It's just been too intelligent to come here.” 

“The capacity for friendship is God's way of apologizing for our families.” 

“It could be that your purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.”

“Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters
 who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like.” 

“Everything happens for a reason.
 Sometimes the reason is you're stupid and make bad decisions.”

Cockman-Dickman

Just when Ms. Cockman thought she was finally about to get rid
 of the horrible surname that had plagued her youth,
 she went and fell in love with this guy. 
Talk about jumping out of the frying pan and into the flame.

My boss told me to have a good day...
so I went home.

Don't even ask........( ok, yes, it's me)

Man sees Voo for first time.......

An elderly man was stopped by the police around 2 a.m.

 and was asked where he was going at that time of night.

 The man replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects 

it has on the human body,

 as well as fooling around and staying out late." 

The officer then asked, "Really? Who's giving a lecture at this time of night?"

 The man replied, "That would be my wife."”

to be continued.......
maybe....
maybe not....
maybe...

"Got any candy, Mister?
'Cause I like candy....."

A man and a woman are sleeping together when suddenly there is a noise in the house,
 and the woman rolls over and says, "It's my husband, you have to leave!"
 The man jumps out of bed, jumps through the window, crawls through the bushes,
 and out on the street, when he realizes something.
 He goes back to the house and says to the woman,
 "Wait, I'm your husband!" She replies giving him a dirty look, "So why did you run?"



NEWS FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

god, I love Irony!!!!

I Found You

I Found You

I loved you before I met you

You were always in my heart

I didn't know you were a part of me

That had somehow been torn apart.

I only know the world made sense

For the first time in my life

The day that I first saw your face

And peace swallowed up my strife.

I saw myself inside your eyes

And you were there in mine

And I knew that I loved you

And would till the end of time.

But when time ends and eternity starts

Our real life will begin

And we will join as one once more

Like we have always been.

I don't understand the "whys" or "wheres"

I don't pretend I do

I just know I found myself

The day that I found you.
