“What is the color of love?” my friend Julia in Berlin had asked. Rather wittily, or so I thought, I responded that, “Love is color-blind.”
But no it isn’t. It is indeed that rosy glow in the photo above, one that I have been saving for a special occasion.
And I have one.
My dear friends and readers, I am delighted beyond all belief to announce the engagement of my Mom, Linda, to her incredibly charming companion, Leonard.
Love rules.
Love conquers all.
It shines a bright light into our darkest corners.
It banishes fear. And doubt.
Love proves that we never, ever know what is in store for us.
My most profound Congratulations to a couple that inspires me, that reminds me constantly to believe in the power of True Love. I wish them nothing but happiness ahead…


Helen, with your wonderful spirit, it is of no surprise that you appreciated this great news. Thank you, dear friend for sharing your appreciation!

Elizabeth, my Mom saw your comment and the wheels started turning in her head!! I don't think it will work out but what an amazing idea!!!!
My Mom has been through so much and this story really is a promise of hope–more than you can know!
Bisous, Deborah–hope you are well and getting ready to head into autumn…
There has been some talk of just that but paper-work and extensive family on the grooms side will most likely forbid it…
Drat. I would have cooked up quite a meal. And asked you to help me. 🙂
Heather ! Very happy for your mum ! Just a question , where in Provence did you take these pictures ? Amazing, beautiful Claire from Provence Hand Made (www.provencehandmade.com)
Wonderful news – a real day brightener in this gloomy Pacific Northwest. Keep the sunshine coming . . .
Ahhh, wonderful news! May they share many beautiful, brilliantly colored days together. Congrats to your family, Heather!

Ah, love. How sweet to declare it to the world. I think they should wed in one of your photos.
