in new york. . .

"the first time i saw you, i knew you were the one. over the years i have learned what i love most about you. i love watching you from my roof at sunrise, the way the lights glints off the buildings makes everything golden. i love the winter with you and how the rain pools in between the cobblestones on crosby street. i love the black velvet of the east river park at night with the three bridges beyond glittering like necklaces. i love how your tiny streets arc me and how your grand avenues inspire. the leaves changing at the cloisters. . .the hustle and bustle of mulberry street. . .the little people who know you, warned me that i might fall in love and never want to leave. they were right - i have fallen for you new york. . .you are my city." -xx,elizabeth and james

When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings,

you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities.

the summer that changed my life. . .

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."

-Henri J.M. Nouwen

"At the end of the day faith is a funny thing.
It turns up when you don’t really expect it.
It’s like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly
different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle.
And it’s not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now.
See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you,
and once in a while people may even take your breath away."

-Meredith Grey, Grey’s Anatomy

"Everything will be okay in the end.

make it a good one.

"only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life." -bob marley
