 Hello, friends! This is going to be a short post and is a little late. I'm feeling under the weather today. Have a cold and sore throat. Just sharing a few things around my house today. A Heart from a quilt I made several years ago. My blue tea for one pot and cup, a heart and butterfly piece that my hubby got me, and a "forever blooming" flower made out of material. A miniature butterfly teapot, a birdhouse hotplate, my pink flower fairy, and another spring flower. Close-up of my hotplate. Decorating my front door for the Easter season.

Linking up over at these sweet blog hops: Tea Time Tuesday (Rose Chintz Cottage) Tea Cup Tuesd...

The meaning of ‘oneness’ can be further understood by the words used to describe physical intimacy or the sexual union.(This is often what people first think of when they hear the word intimacy). We will be discussing this topic in a different post. True (or emotional) intimacy has a lot to do with how much we share our hearts with our spouse. o     It takes a commitment of time and effort on both sides. Conversatio...
