It Fell From Her Eye

It Fell From Her Eye By Annette CampSeptember 2, 2024
It hurts my heart to feel her emotions from the other side of a screen.
If I were there, I'd give her a hug. A long heartfelt hug of comfort in whatever she was holding in her heart.
There's a visual message of a tear gathering in the corner of her eye. 
It could fall onto my finger and I would feel with her. If she only knew I was here for her. Then. It fell from her eye.

Dawn of a New Day

Dawn of a New DayBy Annette CampAugust 18, 2024
As the first light of dawn kissesthe earth, the world awakens in a symphony of gentle sounds and vibrant colors.Here, time seems to pause.
Ducks and geese glide gracefully as blooming flowers line the path,each petal a burst of color against the green. 
The chatter of the birds creates a melody that soothes the soul. The ordinary becomes extraordinary with each breath.
The earth beneath my feet feels alive. The dew is fresh and the air crisp. Every step is a moment of peace, a celebration of the day’s beginning. 
Wrapped in the embrace of nature’s gentle rhythm, I find myself smiling at the simple joy of being a part of this tranquil morning.

Statement of Faith

Statement of FaithBy Annette CampJuly 31, 2024
In the spirit of courageousness, my heart and faith guide me to love with bold compassion, bravely reaching beyond my comfort zone to take risks for the sake of others. I will ooze love in all of my relationships. 
My foundational commitment is unwavering. I breathe life into the promise of service, kindness, and selfless deeds to this fellowship, my neighborhood, society, and the world.
I will dwell in a sanctuary of peace where there is a haven of hope, diversity, and belonging. Others are not just welcomed but celebrated in my presence. I pledge to hear each voice, and uphold an environment of mutual respect and dignity. 
I know that in love I can question and seek truth, as I grow and deepen my spiritual understanding. This encourages open-mindedness, honest dialogue, and a caring approach.
In this beloved community, I will always advocate for justice and help those in need of assistance, offering encouragement and support. I will stand together in solidarity, and reaffirm my belief in the interconnectedness of all life.

Cherished and Valuable

Cherished and ValuableBy Annette CampJuly 30, 2024
A relationship transitioning from romance to friendship is like exchanging gold for silver currency because both retain significant value, albeit in different forms. 
Gold, with its bright luster symbolizes the rare moments and intense affection, often passionate, found in a romantic relationship.
Silver carries its own timeless beauty, like a constant star, now expressed through the long-lasting light of expansive friendship.
The fiery dance of desire gives way to the gentle waltz of companionship, where the heart finds comfort in the familiar rhythms of shared laughter and understanding.
This shift represents a change in dynamics rather than a loss of worth. It is still preserving the meaningful connectionin a new steadfast way.
Thus, the bond continues, cherished and valuable, its presentation transformed. Its essence is unwavering, shining with a timeless, silvered grace.

Tears of Truth

Tears of TruthBy Annette CampJuly 30, 2024
My tears flow like the gentle grace of a waterfall, delicate streams of emotions descending from the cliffs of my eyes. 
Each teardrop is a testament to the profound depth of my feelings, a silent witness to a well within. 
As they tumble and flow, they carve intricate paths across my cheeks, etching their journey into my skin.
These tears whisper tales of love, echoing the joys and sorrows that have touched my heart. 
They carry with them the weight of unspoken words and the essence of my most intimate moments. 
In their delicate descent, they leave behind traces of my vulnerability and the raw beauty of my human experience. 
Each drop, a silent testament to the complexity of my emotions, creates a river of truth that flows from the core of my being.

Handle With Care

Handle With CareBy Annette CampJuly 27, 2024
When you meet a woman who has been through life's toughest trials and still remains big-hearted, handle her love with care. 
She chose love despite her pain. Don't lose her. Her resilience speaks to her strength of character.
She has faced many hardships, yet her heart remains open. Value her, for she understands deep pain and profound compassion. She is unlike anyone else you'll meet.
Respect her journey, honor her struggles, and stand by her side as she faces life’s challenges. 
Her scars tell stories of battles fought and the strength found in vulnerability. With her, you'll find a rare and precious kind of love. 
She will change you, teaching you about true love, self-love, and a love for life.

True Intimacy

True IntimacyBy Annette CampJuly 27, 2024
Many believe intimacy is just about sharing a bed, but true intimacy goes much deeper. 
Intimacy is finding a safe haven in someone's presence, a place where you can be your true self without fear of rejection.
It's standing before them without any pretense and hearing the reassuring words, "You're safe with me."
It's about opening up your deepest fears, insecurities, and vulnerabilities to someone who accepts you without judgment. 
It's showing the broken pieces of your soul and receiving kindness and love in return. 
Real intimacy means sharing your innermost thoughts, pain, past, and trauma, knowing they will listen with empathy. It's someone who holds your heart gently.
Value those who offer you true intimacy, for they will stand by you and remind you are never alone.

A Dragonfly Moment

A Dragonfly MomentBy Annette CampJuly 25, 2024
Today, I stopped to watch a dragonfly.Their short life spansreminds me that life isbrief, moments precious.
Dragonflies often appear to dance in the air, embodying a sense of joy and lightness. Approach life with a lighter, more playful attitude. 
Appreciate what you haveright now, without constantly dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
Being fully aware and engaged in this moment allows us to experience life more vividly and with greater depth.
Let go of rigid plans and embrace the current moment with all its potential. Just focuson the beauty of now.
