Celebrating Devotion

I can't believe how long it has been since I started developing skin care. The first product I ever made was "Devotion the Love Lotion" It was the first product I took to a trade show and sold out of . Two more years and I will be celebrating my 20 th Anniversary of Devotion Love Lotion. There is a bit of Irony to making a skin care product that enhances romance to a woman who actually lacked romance. Time has taken me on quite the journey. Raising children, the struggles and of course the highs that come with creating a product and knowing so many people enjoy quality and fun in one product. I look back and wonder what I could have done differently ...but we know how the woulda, coulda , shoulda thing works out can't change yesterday only improve upon it for tommorow. This is like an infomerical This is one of the youtubes we did , though we did alot of unprofessional advertisements lol. Well part of growing with the business I guess.
I really don't don't know what had drawn me to this , other than a survival mode. You do what you have to , to make life work. I see life separated into quarters. Young and foolish, mother and wife and than a period of time where I was just me, without thought or expectation , just myself. I think about who I am now, most of my customers call me Autumn and yes Autumn is a big part of Rachel. The memories , the experiences of a lifetime.
Sometimes you look back and you think if I could have done things different.It comes down to "if I knew than what I know now." I am not sure why the swell of tears surfaced at this moment ,it wasn't always an easy journey and many times though I believe in choice , I do believe a lot of what happens is out of our hands and yes belongs to destiny.
Puzzles are interaction each piece interlocking. That is how I feel about the opportunities I have been granted and the people I have met , they interlock and find a place within my heart.
My son recently bought me a quill pen as a gift. As I dipped the pen in ink and began to write , I thought about how we are different to different people. Family, mother, sister, friend, customers, acquaintance, lover and the impact that leaves in everyone, like an imprint on our soul.
As difficult as life can sometimes be I am ever so grateful for everything that I have been blessed with, because on the contrary the" glass is half full. "

Light Up The Cloud

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Your heart to mine,
rhythmic they beat,
spinning in circles
to memories.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Stars above us,
in the night of calm,
where we dance as one
all night long.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Your lips of sweet,
pressed gently to mine,
sharing a moment
please stand still time.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Not Only in My Dreams

Singing>I wanna hold you forever, I wanna make dreams come true.I wanna love you like no other and make you love me to.Not only in my dreams....no! no! Not only for a day, no! no! I wanna create our eternity, where you are holding me.

I wanna feel you inside me, I wanna dance the night away.I wanna make you need me .... the way that I need you....Not only in my dreams....no! no! Not only for a day, no! no!. I wanna create our eternity , where you are holding on to me.

Not only in my dreamssss

Soul Mates

Most people relate to the study of Greek mythology, the magical stories of the heavens and the gods that ruled them. Zeus the God of Gods, ruler of the universe struck bolts of thunder down upon mortal man. The myth that humans were combined of four arms and four legs and a single head made of two faces which struck fear into the Gods, caused Zeus to split them in half. Zeus Condemned split souls to spend eternity searching for the other half that would complete them giving them the energy and power.
In our modern day era there is all kinds of talk of searching for soul mates, a loosely used term for finding the person who has the perfect fit. Soul mates could be defined as very dear friends who have a strong bond, two people who walk in harmony, a life lasting connection, spiritual companions, twin flames that burn as one, one that has an extreme , positive influence over another or in a more romantic way some have referred to soul mates as the reuniting of
split souls.
There is no doubt in my mind that an energy does exist between people, on a scientific note, they would break it down to mere adrenaline. I believe soul mates are much deeper, it is the equilibrium that causes an inner balance of happiness.
In our society there are the expected norms, dating marriage, love an life that we are somehow predestined to perform. As you look around you find that rarely do people find such a perfection connection. In my mind is a view of all the perfect weddings that I had attended to find that very few lasted the miles.
In the bonding of a soul mate, both must be standing on common ground, that which feels comfortable and in a state of normalcy. Each knows the others moments of weakness as well as days of strength and brings out the best in all situations. The positive cognation from one partner to the next creates a platform of encouragement, promoting one to strive for better, to create a desire.
In a bond of two inner spirits there is no demand set upon the souls, but an understanding that speaks without words. Emotions rise up from the flames to possess the energy of desire and create lasting moments that lift and bond two into one.
What is the possibility that two people will find such a positive energy of attraction, both in the spiritual and physical sense? I can address no formal number to the combination of a puzzle that interlocks two souls.
Do I believe soul mates exist? I in every sense of the word believe there is a connection from one human to another that is above the normal expectation. The interaction of souls is rare and gifted with trust, respect, faith and love. The crucial ingredients must be met with self first before they can be shared with another human being. Standing at the gateway of self respect, allow faith and the trust in oneself guide you to Love.
