Awards and Tags

I was so happy to find out that Sophia gave me the "Kreativ Blogger" award. That was really sweet of her. She has an awesome blog, by the way, so definitely check it out.

And then she tagged me in a couple things, which are below.

"Show your Hearts" tag
With as much creativity as you can muster, show your heart in: 1 picture, 1 poem, 1 song/piece of music, 1 phrase or quote, 1 piece of clothing, 1 place, and (just for fun) 1 Disney princess.

Picture

(This was the first picture Rian ever took of us. I adore it because not only am I with the man I love, but we're in my favorite park. The one in the middle of the city that makes you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. The one where life seems to disappear.)

Poem

This is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me, --
The simple news that Nature told,
With tender majesty.

Her message is committed
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!

-Emily Dickinson

(I have been obsessed with Dickinson for the past six years. And this poem always reminds me of that apprehension I harbor towards sharing my writing. You pour your heart onto paper...and then it's no longer yours).

Song

I will never tire of hearing "Everyday is Like Sunday" by Morrissey. It was the song that made me fall in love with him. It is the song that I turn to when I'm sad or thoughtful.

Quote
"A career is wonderful, but you can't curl up with it on a cold night."-Marilyn Monroe

Clothing

(I own a collection of white, flowing sundresses. There's something so crisp and fresh and clean about them that makes me so happy it is summer).

Place

Chicago!


Disney Princess

(Spoiled, overprotected, restless and fab. Sound familiar? Hehe).

Some of you were tagged already by others, but I don't care. These tags are just basically my way of saying I think you're awesome and I love your blog.
