Which way to go?

So many choices, so many possibilities.

Each road is long and winding.

Each with its own dangers.

All the roads lead to an ending with infinite possibilities.

One road ending with stability and a life almost perfectly planned out.

But will I find happiness there?

Another with an ending hazy you can barely see what is in front of you.

Will I find something hidden beyond the fog or end up lost in the haze?

Unsure of where to go.

I stand at the crossroads reading the signs, going over every possibility.

Which is right?

Which is worth all the dangers?

Which will make me happy?

Which way do I go?

Anyone still out there?

To those who still look in on my blog from time to time, I'm sorry for the very long absence.

This past year I have been dealing with many changes.

I have been learning to work through these new changes.

Trying to become stronger and grow from them.

It has been on tough year so far with its many ups and downs.

Let just say I'm still learning to deal with it all.

Well, I'm back and hopefully I won't leave on a very long hiatus again, because I have missed doing this.

I've missed being able to express myself and share things with others.

So, if anyone is still out there

I'm back!

Simplicity

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Simplicity is indeed often the sign of truth and a criterion of beauty.

Light

"You must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest."

We search in the darkness, hoping for something to light our way, to guide us, to drive away the dark, 
and illuminate our truth.

There is a path I wish to take which is unlike any.

There is a fear of failure and getting lost.

There is a constant questioning and wonder by others.

I say to you, you the one who doubts and anticipates my failure,

it is my own path I am taking and you need not worry about my failure, if I ever reach that point.

You say you try to lead me from the dark, unknown path I take, but I feel no security.

I appreciate your concern, but our paths are not the same.

You have heard me speak of something greater, but never really listened.

You say you are a friend, but when I try to find a confidant in you, you find fault in my hopes.

I may stumble and get lost, but it is my own doing not yours.

I would rather fall and get lost by my own doing than by your unassuring guidance.

Now I must create my own light to guide me.

Demoiselle

Chesley Mclaren's clothing line Demoiselle. 

Spring 2008. 

A modern 1800s look. 

Chic, innovative and inspirational looks. 

I love these outfits. 

A simple red dress with an adorable white ribbon in the back. 

I love this purple empire coat. It reminds me of something a pirate would wear or the men during the 1800s. 
 

A beautiful lace dress with a bright red lace under. 

The dress and the coat are my absolute favorites. The dress is so simple and delicate and the coat is a beautiful color and the design is amazing.
