-The Road Less Travelled-

“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could 
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 

Then took the other, as just as fair, 
And having perhaps the better claim, 
Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 
Though as for that the passing there 
Had worn them really about the same, 

And both that morning equally lay 
In leaves no step had trodden black. 
Oh, I kept the first for another day! 
Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 
I doubted if I should ever come back. 

I shall be telling this with a sigh 
Somewhere ages and ages hence: 
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I– 
I took the one less traveled by, 
And that has made all the difference”

Robert Frost

this beautiful image is the result of a my camera not advancing the film frame & two shots were exposed on the same negative…reminding me that within the unplanned “mistakes” in life there is often unfathomable & stunning beauty….may your day be full of lovely little mistakes….xoxoxoxo

“gosh….i think i have shared a million kisses with patrick and
each one makes me want to kiss him a million times more…

our first kiss was on our second date. it was so new, so fresh &
i was so excited. it was early evening and we were walking to grab
a drink at bar noir at the maison 140 hotel. we were on the street,
the moonlight above us…it was so romantic. we were walking…
holding hands…then we stopped and turned toward each other.
he looked at me, i looked at him…
and we kissed.

i knew in that moment that this was something very real & special.
he is so kind and loving and brings a sense of peace to my life.
i love my husband…”

BODEE & PATRICK

there is something so magical about the moments before a wedding…
time stands still….the nape of a neck….the folds of a gown….the gentle
hum of anticipation and love ….savor the unexpected moments before…

the rest of your life….xoxo
