BlOOMING FLOWERS…AND LOVE.

Just the other day, I created this blog draft with the headline of Blooming Flowers.  I was set to write about a beautiful bouquet of flowers I had received. There were two bouquets of blooming lilies that transfixed me every day just by watching bloom. But, after watching the 72nd Golden Globes Award on NBC last night, and with George Clooney’s speech, it came to me that blooming flowers are, in essence, Love. Seeing George Clooney, at age 53, finally find love is a wonderful thing. With his wife, Amal, in the audience, she was clearly smitten when he looked to her and said:

“Listen, it’s humbling to find somebody to love, especially when you’ve been waiting your whole life, especially when your whole life is 53 years. “Amal, whatever alchemy brought us together, I couldn’t be more proud to be your husband.”

That is a blooming flower. That, is Love. Love, blooming, growing and ever so sweet. To have love in our lives is the greatest gift of all.

Love,
Rose

Jesus Christ…

Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. On this holiest of holidays, we gather with our loved ones and friends to converse, reminisce and even share a few laughs. It’s a wonderful holiday and one that I hold dear to my heart. Please remember that Christmas isn’t only about opening presents, but also it’s to be thankful for all the lovely things we already have. I wish all of you Peace, Hope, Joy, Health and Love on this Christmas Day.

Love,
Rose

A Bride and Taxi Please…

We had a wonderful walk on the High Line a few weeks ago. It was a bright and sunny Friday afternoon.  The High Line is a public park built on a historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side. It runs from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District to West 34th Street, between 10th and 11th Avenues. There are many places to eat, have gelato and stroll through the many turns of beautiful flowers.

While we were at the High Line, a beautiful bride, along with her groom and bridesmaid, were taking their wedding photographs. She looked stunning. But, then the time came for them to attend their reception. On a late Friday afternoon, in the middle of Summer, it is extremely difficult to get a New York City taxi.

Luckily, her photographer (dressed with his backpack) was doing all the hard work of tracking one down.

 Uber car service can be perfect at a time like this when you’re trying to get to your destination. Get a taxi, private car or rideshare from your mobile phone. Uber connects you with a driver in minutes. Uber can be used in cities around the world.

 How lovely would that be?

Love,
Rose

 

HELLO FRESH…

HELLOFRESH1

So much romance can be achieved with a home-cooked meal. Soft music in the background, candles are lit, the lights are dimmed and you’re in your most lovely dress.  And he arrives looking handsome with a nice bottle of wine.

Have I set the mood?

Hello Fresh is a delivery service that brings you all the ingredients for your home-cooked meal. They will also provide the recipe you selected.  Romance made easy.

How lovely is that? 

Love,

Greetings from Cape May, New Jersey on this the 238th birthday of America. I hope everyone is enjoying the Summer of 2014 so far.  People up and down the Eastern Seaboard, who are perhaps in the path of Hurricane Arthur, please be safe and once the storm passes, be sure to enjoy what is forecasted to be a lovely weekend.

Faith…

2014 Palm Sunday at Basillica Southampton 4.13.14

Wherever we may go, our Faith is always with us. The same holds true while I was out in Southampton, New York this past weekend.  While there, I attended Palm Sunday Mass services at The Basilica Parish of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

The church was filled with lovely people and the warmth I felt was peaceful and joyous.

Have a wonderful and lovely Easter Sunday.

Love,
Rose

The skip in my step, the holding of my hand, the scent and color of beautiful flowers given to me, your lips touching mine and a never-ending smile. Love can be wonderful. Love is you.

Rose
