Heartsease is the absence of mental stress or anxiety; the peace or tranquility of mind or feeling.
To avoid my usual habit of vaguely describing my thoughts in an ambiguous way, I will leave it short and sweet by simply telling the world ~ or at least this livejournal community ~ that I am now happily engaged to be married to the man I love and who loves me to the core. We have set the date for July 14th, 2007 and will soon have more information available for those who are interested. I will conclude by explaining how I was able to realise that this was the man for me and to whom I wished to spend the rest of my living years with. For me, there was no doubt in my mind that he made me happy but in my heart I had to come to terms with the fact that he was the one who woke up beside me every morning for the last 4 years and who contently put up with my days of PMS, my mood swings, whining, begging, pleading and sometimes irritating quirks. He was the one who accepted me back then and accepts me today not only for who I am, but for who I was, what I will be and every aspect of my life in between. He deals with me day in and day out and has yet to provide empty promises. Although many believe we are meant to spend our lives with our true love, it has been noted in my heart, that despite any previous notions on love, that there is a difference between true love and real love. He is my 'real' love, and that is something we can build on and live happily with. I can talk for hours about love, so i will stop myself for you!
Before I depart, I was going to tell everyone that today is my boyfriend's birthday, until I realised that he is no longer just my boyfriend, but that it is officially my fiancé’s birthday!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE!
Tip 2 Mastering Serenity #3
~Keep in mind that this moment is the only moment that exists and allow this moment to be calm and serene~

This entry has been written, re-written and revised with intentions of posting promptly, although due to connectivities issues with archaic dial-up modem my parents have yet to see any reason to upgrade from, I lost my well thought out entry one too many times. With all that said, here is the long-short of things. This weekend was climaxed with a time constrained but rather amazing trip to Sudbury. Through foggy rain and heavy slush-like snow fall, I found myself sitting at Time Horton's with none other than the best friend I never had. I was lucky enough to have met his beautiful and absolutely charming better half, otherwise known as his girlfriend where after I was filled with laughter and smiles as I pushed one of the world's cutest children on a swing in the rain while maintaining the conversation one never wants to end. After a mear few hours, I was watching Sudbury's glow fade in my review mirror as I calculated my next visit.
That was the long-short of my visit, in which, amon many other provoked thoughts, I realised that although distance and time as set us apart, our friendship only grew stronger. It is funny how those factors can rip some people apart and tear holes in relationships beyond repair and yet can make other stronger, fonder and healthier.
Well once again here is my tip for keeping the serenity in your life or at the very least, seeking it in some sense or form.
Tip 2 Mastering Serenity #2
~As one resolves to master serenity, understanding the benefits of being calm and serene as a usual way of being will allow a certain focus and enable the creation of motivation to master this state~

To those that know me, you surely know how much I love to talk and that there is not often silence in my presence. With that said, here you have yet another circumstance where you can explore, debate, comment and if you so chose to, agree with yet more of my whacked out ideas, thoughts and the odd desire.
To those that have vicariously met me through others, you will see here sides of me that often go untold. Behind the red hair and passionately opinionated mind there holds an individual who merely seeks serenity during her stay here on this surface we call earth.
Finally, to those that have not met me, heard of me and perhaps do not care to either, all you need to know is that I am simply complicated! ~*oxymoron intended*~
Please Note: I do not demand, but merely request, that you all bare with me as I explore this new method of self expression and perhaps even self-discovery. Although I have openly classified myself among the "computer-savvy-perhaps-previously-outca
I can't predict what this journal will bring to you each entry, but I am hoping to provide some escape of reality and maybe even brighten someone's day either because of what I wrote or simply because my day will have been worse than there’s! I can tell you that I am going to get the ball rolling on these entries by giving my favorite ideas for mastering serenity, which are based on a novel I could never quite completely comprehend but nonetheless thoroughly enjoyed!
