Ahhhhh…the Hopeless Romantic…
Somewhere between
and
is the beginning of a great love affair.
True romance
the stuff dreams are made of.
Fairytales do come true, you know…
When the very air around you is magical
and being in love
is like stepping into the pages of a romance novel
written only by your heart
page, after page, after page, after page…
Fairytale castles do exist…
in your heart
your mind
your soul
….and prince charming?
for the genuine, hopeless romantic of the 21st century~
he is alive and well and living in NYC…
A TRUE hopeless romantic
will always believe in Prince Charming
and most certainly will want to be “saved”…
She truly believes in Cinderella
and whether or not
the glass slipper is out there somewhere
on a castle staircase
or in Manhattan’s finest boutique
still remains to be seen….
The hopeless romantic believes in romantic getaways
the more mysterious
the better
Poetry speaks to the hopeless romantic in deeper tones
as Shakespeare quotes
on a dark, cloudy night…
while shooting stars compel us to wish we will never, ever part.
Love is music to a romantic’s soul…
and if the music should ever stop playing one day
don’t lose heart
the words will only come back to you in a more beautiful melody…
I believe if you dream hard enough
your dreams will always come true…
and if you have real passion
you will never, ever lose hope.
The hopeless romantic sees beauty all around her…
and comfort
in the most unusual places
Hope grows eternal faith for the hopeless romantic…
and serves the heart reasons
reason does not understand
WHOAH………………..
OK, I have to come via email…..
But let me say here that it is uncanny how we are on the same wave length, and your choice of photos is absolutely perfect. Each photo Lisa, emotes the wonder that each one of us seeks and HAS…locked under the restrictions of busy lives, but freed by the simplicity of a kind word, going the extra mile, and by a true friend. OMG those photos are unreal…back in a minute via email, Anita
I hope you got my email in response to this….I am not sure that it went through…
Isn’t this the craziest thing, that we should be thinking along the same lines?????? Your pictures are just breathtaking dearest Lisa; remember, we look up at the same sky, with the same joys and pains and hopes…..here’s looking up over the plains, the Great Lakes and the rolling hills of the Mid-Atlantic, in hopes that one day soon we shall meet….happy day my friend, Anita
Great minds think alike…
As always, I am transformed to a different place when I am looking at your blog.
Simply BEAUTIFUL…
You are the reason for so many wonderful, new beginnings in my life.
Thank you, my wonderful friend. xoxo
I believe all things happen for a reason. To make you strong, to teach you something. Love comes about in many ways but it is wonderful when its for you and it makes you feel young again like a teenager being kissed for the first time under a sky full of stars. Your heart races and skips a beat and the excitement inside of you is just such and incredible feeling. I so love all of the photos used as well as all of the phrases. You have a real talent and people feel it through your work!
How beautiful, Dawn…
xo
Thank you for the lovely compliments…and I feel exactly as you do…
Ahhhhhh…the first kiss!
Lisa,
What a gorgeous post! You are very talented..
Yes, count me in as a FOREVER hopeFUL Romantic!! Oui, c’est moi!!!
I love your images..love Pooh and Peter Pan, and all that is good in this world. Indeed, you and precious Anita were on the same wavelength! In my new post I will link to you and Anita, is that ok?
How blessed we are to have the magical and wise Anita in our lives!
A lovely weekend to you,
xoxo,
- Irina
What a lovely compliment, Irina!
And yes!! We are so honored to have Anita in our lives…she is a wonderful, kind spirit who has definitely blessed my life tremendously.
We were amazed at the similarities in our posts this morning. Kindred spirits think alike.
I would be “honored” if you would link our posts. Thank you so very much!
Wishing you a beautiful, Autumn weekend~

Lisa!! OMG! What a beautiful, wonderful post!! Poetry in pictures!! Honestly, i don’t know where you find your images, but they fit in so PERFECTLY with your words!! Ahh romance…….. just like faith, felt by the heart, explainable, but so strong and so real………even the word is magical. If you are lucky enough to be a hopeless romantic than i agree, you do see the world in a different light, a positive and passionate light that appreciates every little thing. Oh that more people in the world were romantics, think of how different it would be!! Truly inspiring and beautiful words to reflect on! love and hugs,~devon
I know you’re a true romantic , Dev….
I was thinking how my little, vintage chair from you would fit perfectly in this post… I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

GOOD MORNING MY DEAR FRIEND!
Oh, coming back here is so soothing, and every time I do come back, I get more and more inspiration. That page from the book that says, “Happily Ever After” with the castle and the horse…hmmmmmmm! How I love that concept. Dearest, to see your kind comment last night was so special. BUT I WAS SO SICK, I could not respond. I am staying home today with a RAW and SORE throat and laryngitis and a cough that could wake up Australia! AND YOU KNOW I am sick when I can’t eat! I did not eat any dinner last night. So off to bed I went, but I just wanted to come by to enjoy your company my dear. OH MY, you have to be dug out by now from the snow storm you got????? We are due to get some snow TOMORROW NIGHT, right when Ruben flies out to Baltimore….I am staying PUT today, hoping that at least one day will give my voice the rest I will need for parent conferences in two weeks!
Well dear one, look at all the comments you got!!!!!!!! KEEP ON TYPING! KEEP ON letting the words flow out so beautifully and just run with the ideas…we ALL need to CREATE LOVELINESS in a world that needs it so badly.
Have a relaxing day; I am here if you need me…
Good morning dear one,
Just stopping over before I head out to work….come and see my winter Audrey…it is the best I could do with the limited time I had yesterday….I hope to make some tags too…Anita
My dear and wonderful Lisa,
Seeing your comments come my way always make me soooo happy. I hope you see my email message; I decided that since NEXT WEEK after Thanksgiving, it would be best to link since your post probably won’t be up TODAY. AND….the holiday shopping rush will begin! LOVE YOU! And I still love this post SOOOOOO VERY MUCH!! Anita
