Show Your Heart

"Awards" can make me feel funny and sometimes (although completely flattering and welcoming) uncomfortable! Mostly due to the giving them to others part. I want to give to so many that I enjoy! But tags are usually a bit more fun because you get to learn a bit about the people you enjoy visiting. I was tagged by the always dreamy Micaela (The Drifter and The Gypsy). This tag is different and fun and I like it! Sooo hard to come up with just 1 of everything! It was definitely a challenge but here we go...
With as much creativity as you ca
n muster, show your heart in:
1 picture
1 poem
1 song or piece of music
1 phrase or
quote
1 item of clothing
1 place

[And just for fun-] 1 Disney princess!
picture:



















Without using a personal picture of Bear, family, Sophie, or horses I chose this picture because it is beautiful me. It is soft and dream-like. I chose it because it can be interpreted in so many ways. I see love, sadness, loneliness, loss, contemplation, freedom, peace, contentment, and wanting in this photo. I can smell the chilled breeze and hear the soft low tide. It is just lovely and quiet and yet says a hundred different things. {photo from and some others flicker}

Poem:


i carry your heart with me
~by ee cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are m
y fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the
sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

{to me its about the core
of someones love without the silly frills. It is honest and real.}

Song/Music:

I feel my emotions ready to burst when I listen to this song!

Phrase/Quote:
~From Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte~
I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind.

Clothing:
I actually had to change it up and choose an accessory (which, lets be real here, is just as important as the clothing on our backs!). I love pretty much all clothes! My heart does flips for sweet spring time and summer dresses, feels warm and soft for winter coats, feels complete at the sight of perfect jeans, and it swoons over scarves of all kinds and colors. But I can not resist a bag (clutches included)! {Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters}











Place:
Without. again, going too personal (like home, which is where my heart is) I want to choose somewhere I have been of course (otherwise it would be Italy, but I have not had the good fortune to go... YET!). So it would, without a doubt, be...
Maine!

















Disney Princess:












Okay all older Disney is fantastic! I love it all from Fantasia to Dumbo, it brings me back to childhood. For my Princess I chose Ariel! She is curious, daring and brave. Beautiful, kind, and has a killer voice. And determined to get her Love! I could watch it over and over, it's just so fun!

I really don't want to be lame here but I really want to see what everyone would choose so I tag the lovely people in the box to the right (also known as "followers" in the blog world [which, can I just say, I hate hate that term!]). I love learning this stuff about everyone! Pretty, pretty please leave me a comment to ensure I don't miss the post! This is especially good for anyone grappling with post ideas! Have fun and enjoy your day! ♥Emma

C is for...

Circus

the Big Top! come One come All... long toothed lions and rings of fire. twirling legs flying hand to hand, higher and higher. 1 clown, 2clown, 3 clown, more. With a lions prowl and wide smile one just can't be sure. next, a lady dressed in tassels and beads. with gloved hands she leaps from steed to steed. popcorn, cotton fluff. only don't take your eyes from the man and the trapeze. rings, ropes, and cannons. Ahh but first, your ticket please...
to See the Greatest show on Earth!

Pictures and Words

I wanted to say "Thank you" because you all just don't know how wonderful it is sometimes to come to this place and read your kind words and learn of shared interests and to feel happy!

I also wanted to share this Photographer...


She has such lovely images. I felt calm and yet emotional all at once while browseing. You can find her here or she has an Etsy shop!


I also wanted to share these writers...

Verve Bath
has such moving things to sink your eyes, heart, and imagination into. But the one on my wish list is Words Dance issue 12! I can't wait to get it! Just reading the reviews and the sample they have up gave me sweet chills. I think I may also get some of the $1 poems that the oh so talented Amanda Oaks has to offer. (I read a poem on her blog a while back that I just loved) I love a surprise! Next on my list there would be Fossil Fuels and Bloodlines! Check both of these out, you will not be sorry! Everyone could use some good and new poetry in their home!

p.s. I also just realized that Amanda can be found at Kind Over Matter. If you would like a happy moment, go here!

Have a magical night!
