The Red Statement

Dear Shopping Gods for Tierra,

Can you PLEASE help me find this red pea coat or a VERY close match? You see, I have foreseen the future and red will be my winter coat color this year. So please, help a girl out and send this my way? I simply...ADORE it/ MUST have it. That is all.

Luvs, Tierra

PS. Oh and the little black peep heels would be nice too.

Just sayin.

Moments of Love & Family

Tonight, my family and I celebrated my younger and beautiful cousin Alexa's wedding. She married Shane. And Shane...fits right in. My song, without tooting my own horn went great as in no cracking, no fainting, no dry mouth, no missed notes, with only just a touch of shaky hands & legs from me. All in all...I was pleased. Can I say that? Oh well...I am.

PLEASE don't ask me where the wedding pictures are...my feet hurt WAY TO BAD to find my camera cord or even try to arrange them on blogger.

For now, these are photos of our BEAUTIFUL Historic Bristol Train Station where the reception was held. It's Stunning! It over looks our amazing city of lights sign that represents our city set between two states. Who says you can't be in two places at once? There wrong. We do it all the time. The train station was built in the 1920's and me and my cousins went walking on the long board walk and imagined what it must have been like during the wars when women stood there on the long train dock and waved them goodbye.

My family...I love being able to see us all laugh and eat and dance. Even my aunts got out on the dance floor. It was a "moment" and one that led my feet to just keep on dancing.

We laughed, we loved, we ate, we sang {loudly}, we toasted the bride and groom, we ate cake and BOY howdy did we dance! !! ! !! !

For now...I'm going to go bed/read... my feet hurt.

I'm singing in the...Elevator?

You wanna hear what I've been dreaming, whistling, humming, singing over and over and over?
God Bless the Broken Road. My other cousin Alexa is getting married this Friday and I was asked to sing for them. So, I've been constantly rehearsing. I'm excited & nervous. Before this is over, I will be able to do a full concert in my sleep LOL

Home

{Seeing our BEAUTIFUL Tennessee Mountains on the drive back...let me know that I was "Home"}

Home. I am Home. What a sweet feeling it is to go away for a weekend trip with a great friend and then come home to a warm welcome with a dinner cooked, house cleaned and just the pure essence of family love and knowing you were missed.

I can say we both had a lovely time visiting with Kristy's cousins and I adored them all. They were so welcoming and fed us to the extreme. Laughter and pool time {and the sticky Georgia heat--i shall never complain of TN heat} and lot's of girl talk! Thanks Kristy for inviting me and being able to get to know your cousins for the weekend.

I know for a fact that both me and Kristy are home bodies. We were both just alittle bit homesick and was happy for the time spent to get away but we were more excited for our arrival home. Last night, on mine and Kristy's final night in the hotel, both of us fresh from hot showers and headed to bed....

We had the TV on.

We were flipping through the channels and came across a TV concert of Michael Buble.

I LOVE me some Michael Buble soul. He began to sing the song "Home" and I couldn't help but think that he hit the feeling right on the nail as i set and just listened.

Home.
I was headed home.
As I set reading to get to sleep my thoughts kept thinking how blessed I am that I can go away for a great weekend but know that I have home to go back too.

Atlanta Bound

Here in the south we Southerners or should I particularly say "this one-me" is pretty prideful of our southern charm. So, when my too sweet friend Kristy asked me if I would like to come with her to visit family...I was NOT about to say no.

So, I'm off to the beautiful city of Atlanta for the weekend where we were hit the hardest by those darn Yankees.

Wait...you think we still just let that slide?

Not a chance. You won't see me marry a Yankee LOL

Later Luvs.

More then just a game for Two

Tierra??? What are you singing at the top of your lungs in your kitchen-shower-car-elevators etc etc????

LOVE-by Nat King Cole. I ADORE this song. Just can't get enough of it. Enjoy!

All about the Eyes

Ladies...i am in love.
Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller

All summer, I have been reading my heart out. I srsly. stay up till the wee hours of the morning, deep into some far away existence in a book. BUT. In the morning...I'm back to me. And the reflection in the mirror shows.
OH how it SHOWS! So, I took myself off to Target and came home with this little baby.



And ladies...it works. Now, it promises an instant result. Well, it took alittle while but HONESTLY my puffy-ness WAS/IS gone. Trust me. I roll this little miracle every face wash and right before i go to bed or well...at least before i pick up another book LOL.

Angelus

In the midst of our lives, we need to find the magic that makes our souls soar.
{thanks kimmie for this quote}

He makes my soul soar.

Growing up I can remember my momma doing the spur of the moment "moments" of "just because" Like going out for ice cream just because we could or picking me up early from school for no reason other then that she missed me and wanted to go get a late lunch. I hope to be that kind of mom someday. But, for now...I'll settle for being that aunt.

Tonight, it was getting dark and it had been a beautiful stunning sunny day. Angelus, my nephew, started back to school this past week. And as I was watching him in my rear view mirror, the thought came to me...Smores. We needed to make smores. Just because we could. So I switched lanes an headed to the store instead of home.

I hope with all my heart that whether your a mom, or an aunt...You will find the time for a "just because" moment. To find that magic of what being a mom or an aunt really means. If your day has been long or too hard..do a "just because" moment. I promise it will make your soul soar.

You know why? Just because you can.

The Time Travelers Wife

By popular demand I am writing this small review of The Time Travelers Wife.

I don't really prefer to give reviews on anything because 9/10 my opinion will most likely be different then most people. However, since you all have asked for what I thought, here goes.

This will be short and simple.

First, I read the book. As for the book goes I do not recommend this book to ANYONE under 18 yrs. old. I loved the book and was disappointed in the book at the same time. Henry & Clare's love story is a very sweet, touching yet very dark and dramatic love story. And had me in major tears by the last chapter.

The movie for those who have read the book, it kept a very close line to the story. In a good way as you should understand. It brought out the essence of their love story and all the things I didn't like from the book, I was very happy to see was NOT in the movie.

Now, for the final thought...you need to understand this. Henry time travels. It is a rare brain/cell condition and he cannot control it. It's something that the book and movie portray as very serious in nature. When he does, he cannot control it and when he travels he cannot take anything with him. Meaning ANYTHING at all so in the movie you will see Henry's {Eric Bana} backside 3 times as he time travels and has to search for clothing.

The movie is rated Pg-13 and I was happy with how they told the story. This is not a light love story. By the ending, even though I knew what was coming...I was still in tears with every emotion the actors faces portrayed on the screen. So, ladies...tread carefully with a box of kleenexes.

Do I recommend this for teenagers? If you seen the Notebook...

Very light language and 3 shots of Henry's backside. Along with traumatic events. So yes ladies...this is not a light chic flick. I do not want to paint this as a bad movie...I was very pleased with how they did it...I just don't want you to think this is a walk in the park "wedding planner" chick flick.

I know I will see this movie again.

One Phone call from our Knees

I am obsessed with this song. I LOVE Matt Kearney.

I Dare you Red

I am on the hunt.
With every season change, I switch my purse.
And I, dear ones don't just go for any type of purse.
It has to be "thee" purse.
It has to "sing" to me.
And this year, fall is approaching and I hear the call for a deep scarlet red purse.

So, let the word spread...I'm on the Hunt. Scarlet Red baby.

I'll get you my little pretty and your little red wallet too! {Said in a witchy, crackling voice}

PS. Tomorrow night I'm seeing the Time Travelers Wife. No need to ask me if I'm excited.

PSS. Tomorrow night is also the release for the Full length New Moon trailer for the twilight saga.

Do ask me if I'm screaming for joy? Go ahead. I dare you!

To the Lady whose 26

Dear Jennaroo {Jenny}
I had a lovely day today. We went shopping, tried on killer shoes and left without spending hardly anything at all. Though you should totally go back for that purse and I should most definitely go back for those darling red beads.
Happy 26th Birthday Jen. I know you, You know me, and I know myself.



Dear Jackson,
Thank you for letting me and Jenny shop while you gave yourself a nice long nap. I envy you on just floating away to sleep without a care in the world. Also, just to let you know... I was SO tempted to squeeze your ever so adorable chubby cheeks while you slept. I just love you!

A note to the Blog

Dear lovely blog, blogging buddies, friends, family, snoopers, etc etc...As I sit and right this, I'm sighing *oh Woe is me* sighs. Nothin bad going on but I feel like I'm in a blogging rutt. A funk. A weird state of *I just cant make up my mind* state. I come up with something really fun to blog about and then sit down to post it and then in like 2 seconds *BOOM* the magics gone. Gone...Gone...Gone..like a bad NSYNC song * bye, bye, bye*

I just lose that lovin feelin. The blog lovin feeling that is. Oh what to do? What to do, I say? I feel like I'm boring. Am I boring? WAIT....don't answer that. But, I am. I know it. I wouldn't pass my blog myself these days if I was the one surfing the blogging block.

I brought commenting back and I VOW not to get into a comment overload. So, I guess the only thing to report is that now that the comments are back up, please feel free to comment but if I don't comment on your post it doesn't mean i didn't read it. I truly read as many blog posts as I can get too. I just have alot on my plate right now and comments are on the back burner. Hate me for it? Oh please don't. I know the whole comment for comment rule but if I get 1 comment or 50...I still might not be able to comment to everything. And that needs to be an okay thing. For my stress of mind in bringing back comments please understand.

Now, as for the blogging rutt. I just don't know where to start. I hope my blog entertains you and I hope you feel welcomed into my little world of random loveliness BUT for now, will just have to see. Auvoir loveys. I'm off to go give my self a blogging shot in the butt {not really} to kick it into gear.T.

Leopard Print?

So Tierra, what did you wear to Carrie's wedding?

This.
I HEART my belt.



And these little babies....
Could walk down that aisle all by them selves.
BCBG baby.
Leopard print.
Oh yes...I SO went there.

Pretty Darn Exciting

I'm pretty darn excited! Why am I pretty darn excited? Cause I'm pretty darn excited over this.

The Time Travelers Wife comes out in 9 days. That's PRETTY DARN EXCITING if you ask me!

Oh, wait...You didn't? Well...you should. Because...it's pretty darn exciting.

I read the book a few months back and while I'm not going to go through a review

{cause I hate giving book reviews}

I shall say this...email me, and I'll fill ya in on what you might need to know.

Anywhos, this book made me think about things.

Things about Time. And the time you have with the ones you love.

About life, and what would you do if you could be in the future or relive your past?

Would you do it? Would you stop it? But, what if you can't stop it?

Do you see what I mean? Thought provoking i tell ya...Thought provoking.

Oh yeah and...it's a love story.

Go figure.

A tear jerker at that too.

So, when you hit the theater and don't like it.

Don't blame me. AND don't tell me.

I have yet to see the movie SO don't get all holy roller on me if Hollywood goes "racy" on us.

But for now...I"M PRETTY DARN EXCITED.

Watch the trailer.

That is all.

Soul Mates?

Weeks ago, as you can tell on the sidebar ----> I did a poll on Soul Mates. Do you believe we have one? Are we compatible with others? Or is it just plain fairy tale make believe?
For me, I bounce back and forth on the first two answers. I just cannot believe that in this life we have absolutely no one that could make this time the truest it can be.

I, Tierra Lynne Coleman am a romantic sap. I always crave for a sweet endearing love story and whatever it is whether in movies or books...If it doesn't have a constant love interest or storyline, I won't watch it/read it etc etc...I believe that love is this earths most difficult and purest emotion. It can break you. It can heal you. In any shape or form love comes in all different directions.

As I struggle with the theory of One Soul, one person for us in this lifetime or the possibility to simply find someone, dedicate your self to commitment and live righteously and have a happy life...I wonder what your take is on it?
