2022 Forged in Fire, for the man who absolutely leaves me weak in the knees and begging him to never ever stop!
Now, as one of those sparkly dreamer-type girls, I try to not focus a lot on world news. The reason I want my energy spent on the good in the world. Pivotal moments that come from out of the blue…. the fortune in my fortune cookie today had a particular meaning. Nope, I am not going to tell you what it said. Get your own cookie!
But here is where the messages take another turn today. So after my cookie, and my tea! Another message… nope not going to tell you that message either! I will give a little insight into the emotions it evoked! (Hold my breath, weak in the knees, oh my more! Please!)
I love quotes (obviously right) but this quote I love, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step!” Lao Tzu
“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away!”
For mine, Mo Aer! “Tá grá agam duit,” The Gaelic meaning behind these beautiful words is I have love for you! As a self-professed dreamer and hopeless romantic always on a quest inspired by a love that captivates the soul. I am forever inspired to dream, reach within, and believe. This book will be delightfully dedicated to every dreamer. If you ever get the chance for magical, wonderful, stolen moments … leap! I know I did, and it forever changed me!
Fairy tales usually depict a wonderful, charismatic, and devilishly handsome man riding in on his stallion or tricked-out Mustang, Ferrari, or revved-up Harley to save the day. The gorgeous creature is often remembered as a prince charming or a noble knight who is most notably remembered for his acts of bravery and for of course saving the fair maiden or other unwittingly good deeds! This fairy tale is not unlike others, and would someone please cue MY knight.
I am not sure anymore where any of this began, but I knew the moment that I looked into your eyes! I was in trouble and would never be the same. My knight’s eyes burn within my soul. Perplexing, confusing, and simply delightful are all words I might use to describe the power he holds over me evoking the most beautiful reactions. From somewhere across a star-kissed dream, my sweet knight saved me. Only one thing is absolutely certain the wicked witch has a keen sense of humor that planted us on other sides of the world from each other. But somehow, someway destiny stepped in! There was only one thing that I was certain of; we were bound together in a way that is impossible to describe. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to love and be loved beyond any reason; my Magic defines me, he gives me purpose, and given the chance; I would absolutely leap into his arms again! He is nothing like I ever dreamed, somewhere across the sands of time, my heart burns for that man that is mine!
Once upon a time in a not-so-perfect and judgmental world, there lived a girl who dreamed of knights, fair maidens, castles, love everlasting, and a world free of hurt and pain, a place where life and family were protected. Honor, dignity, selflessness, and pride were not merely words but a code that everyone chose to live by, somewhere in this dreary world, somehow my knight reached out and touched my soul!
“Love Bound”
I knew at that moment that our eyes met, and then your lips touched mine
Ours was a love written across the sands of time
And yet even before your hands had ever touched mine
My soul, it flickered, danced, delighted and
Flowed
Drawn to the memories of touches from long ago
The memory of our love burns brightly within my soul
Alone in the dark feel the night slowly closing in trembling softly want to pull you near shaking and aching my hands are empty filled with longing pounding from within my soul simply don’t know how or what to be without you next to me feel the night tugging pulling me in bellows deeply of slumber far off in the distance I see flashes of lightning hear the crack of thunder raindrops pitter-patter softly on the windowpane hold me tightly I scream don’t want to let go I don’t want you to leave I linger gently I want to breathe you in I want to touch your soul the way you have touched mine when and where did you find the key to my heart did you always know your touch would set off a fire in me alone in this night I wander searching for the man who completes my soul I long to scream your name your name forever etched branded scorched on my soul
Once upon a star kissed dream you slammed into my world bringing me to my knees moonlight and magic glisten glow sparkle even the heavens filled with all of the stars won’t tell you precisely what you mean to me you have every part of me filled with longing brings me to my knees all the elements that I never let anyone else have or see all given to you all forever whisper what you mean to me
my bright shining star how I long desperately to be where you are aching sweetly want to feel your touch
embrace all you are
you have captured my soul together we are untamed we are unstoppable you breathe life into my soul
you make me whole feel your love coursing through my veins my heart skips a beat fan the flame a fire starts within feel my heart racing thundering pounding crashing out your name feel it rising out of my chest
Perhaps this love rises to the stars or throughout the galaxy wish to the heavens wish to the stars want so desperately to be where you are send out my hopes that you are safe every single night I wander every single night wait for you in my dreams want to feel you pull me near whisper to me wrap your arms around me So if you ever wonder if you are on my mind here is my promise carry it with you wherever you go there is never a moment that the thought of you is more than a breathe away the remnants of your love echoes within my soul when the sun warms your face or the wind tousles your hair in the stillness of the day in the quiet of the night in every moment either treasured or feared YOU are loved beyond it all

Somehow the very confidence he inspired through him loving me set my world on fire and brought me to my knees where is my heart I try to scream somewhere he is held captive unable to breathe despite his pain his aching that echoes and shattered into millions of fragments within his soul what he despised most was the confidence he had inspired within me a mountain of red curls and the ability to rock out my torn out kneed jeans and a myriad of words that now flowed through me his love ignited my soul set off a soul-shattering earthquake brought forth the girl I had always dreamed I would be I found courage in loving him his soul set of an explosive eruption he defines me his words now an echo uttered in pain “I am trying to make sense of these feelings” but I will find the courage to continue to be me wait forever until he finds his way back to me

The legend of the Claddagh is a true love story written across the sands of time that has become synonymous with the legend of the Claddagh and its symbolism. The story is of a fisherman, Richard Joyce, and the ring he created. Pirates captured the fisherman at sea and sold him into slavery in Algeria.
Richard became the property of a wealthy goldsmith who began to train Richard in his craft. In time Richard became a master goldsmith. Richard pined away with thoughts of the girl who had captured his heart. Richard began to forge the first Claddagh Ring. The heart symbolizes love, the pair of hands represent friendship, and the crown for loyalty and fidelity.
In 1689 after an agreement with King William III to release all his subjects held in slavery, Richard found himself once more a free man. His master, who was very fond of Richard, offered his only daughter in marriage and half his wealth if he would remain. Richard declined and returned home to Galway.
Richard found his sweetheart had waited for him to return, whereby he presented her with the Claddagh Ring, and the two were married.
The Claddagh Ring merges Fede Rings’ basic ‘clasped hand design with a heart and a crown signifying Love, Friendship, and Loyalty or Fidelity. Today, a Claddagh is carried among the family with great pride as family heirlooms passed lovingly down from mother to daughter on her wedding day. The design and the story are famous internationally! The ring, once bestowed, is as follows: right hand-worn facing inward, symbolizing that the heart, love, connection, and loyalty are given to another. If the Claddagh right hand is turned outward, not taken and free. The point of the heart points outward from the hand on the left hand: the wearer is engaged or lifelong partnership. Left hand with the point of the heart pointing to the hand: the wearer is married!
The history of the Fede or “Faith rings” dates from Roman times and were popular in the Middle Ages throughout Europe. They are distinctive in that the bezel is cut or cast to form two clasped hands that symbolize faith and trust. #historymysteries
