don't let it be forgot {camelot}

dont let it be forgot, that once there was a spot. for one, brief shinning moment, that was known, as camelot.

tonight, i just finished balling my eyes out. why? you may ask... well jeepers, ever since i was wee wee little thang{seriously people} i was nosy. who me? nosy?....NO WAY! yes dear readers it's true. and with my ever always present skill for being all- things- nosy.....i was into everything. my grandmother if she were still alive would probably want to switch my legs again for my many shortcomings of snooping. anywho.....i can recall finding all my grandmothers old newspapers from when president kennedy was shot. i thought they were so cool. not in the "he was shot" way but be cause they were history. i felt like my family had something very special that know one in the world had. something in me just sparked for the kennedy family and the older  i got the more it came. i have tons of books on jack and jackie. i've studied his politics and watched every documentary there was. SOOOOO with last years announcement of the 8 part mini series on the kennedys...i was like BRING IT! i was soooo pumped. i love history and i love history when it hits close to home. as i'm typing this i just do not think i can convey enough for my deep fascination with the kennedys or jackie and her life after president kennedy was shot. some of you might not even care. and that's okay.

as it was ending tonight with the last episode with the scenes on the assassination and then bobby kennedys assassination... i cried like there was no tomorrow. as if i was there when all this took place. my heart was broken for what would never be. regardless of what you feel for this family or president kennedy as a man, he was a d*** good president. his brother bobby was my type of a man. and bobby would have been an even better president had he not have been shot in 1969.
i look at this nation now and tonight my aunt and i discussed how they might have handle the things that are going on right now. what would they have said? done? i feel like president kennedy had a true love for this nation and  his brother did as well. they were men who waded that love to make sure they covered every option before leaping when crises arise. now we have a stand where it's all for show. "change"....well, all the change we have had has been for show. i want a man as my next president who knows his country. who knows his fellow man. and so tonight i cried my eyes out for a past generation that had something special.

as my favorite poem up at the top says....
dont let it be forgot, that once their was a spot. for one brief shinning moment, that was known as camelot.

I HIGHLY recommend you watch this mini series. it was incredible the way the actors looked and sounded like the true persons they were portraying. it shed deep insight into this dynamic family.

okay. i'm a royal watcher nerd. go figure!

well i guess you can see that i haven't kept my promise about posting my fall/mantle decor. i sorry. like really sorry. honestly. i blame it on the fact that there is a certain young man in my life that has completely taken over my brain/thoughts/thinking and all things in between sanity. he just might make it on this blog. maybe. will see. that is if he doesn't drive me nuts first! in the mean time, i just couldn't let this news topic go with out my two cents and stamp of approval. like aka prince william phone called a few weeks ago to make sure i was in complete agreement on his decision and i have had to sit with this news for awhile! and as we all know tierra can hardly hold anything in....{gasp!!} so i of course said he must definitely marry kate. i think she is quite lovely and of all the photos i have seen of her on magazine covers and such over the years, when they made their announcement and she walked out looking like that, i thought she hit it dead on! she looked amazing. her hair was just perfect and oh would i kill for her legs! i have always thought kate was an amazing dresser and i loved how the dress made the ring pop! i have heard a few comments on tv and several on facebook who find this news story ridiculous and that the fact that he gave her his mothers ring a "hand me down" {like some sapphire diamond ring is a hand me down? what a joke!}well excuse me people but i for one like to hear something exciting to look forward too and not some celebrity stepping out as gay or a Lindsey lohan disaster 24/7! i know good and well that the world is full of hard things. hard and cruel and dangerous things taking place on this land and over seas....but what in the freakin world is wrong about talking about two people who have been dating for years and announce that they would like to take it one step further? and oh yeah...to the person who put on my facebook page that prince Williams mothers ring is "recycled and probably cursed" ....dont you even dare make a statement like that to me again because my own mother who passed away left me her ring that was given to her by my father. their marriage ended in a divorce and she is gone as well.....but the ring to this day is my most cherished and special piece of jewelry i own. i have ALWAYS planned on wearing it on my wedding day because it represents the love that my parents once had. my parents may not have had the best relationship either dearie but my mother still loved the time and the good memories that she shared with my father. Hence the reason i was born. I was completely and utterly offended that you would make a comment about something that is neither here nor there for the matter. all you did was make yourself look immature. i don't ever recall asking for your opinion on this or anything else. keep your cynical thoughts and opinions to yourself or write it on your own page.

so to william on giving her your mothers ring. GOOD FOR YOU! i will be watching and rooting with bells on. oh how i just love a good wedding!!!

When the World Stopped Turning

I was home schooled that year from High school for early private music/voice lessons 4 times a week during the day.
At 9 something in the morning, I was curled up in front of the television watching Live with Regis & Kelly when the screen went to the early coverage. Not knowing what was going on, all of a sudden, i remember seeing exactly this shot. the second plane hitting the first tower that was already hit. My family and i watched almost all day for anything that could tell us what was happening. Where was the president? Would there be more? And where? That night, as President Bush spoke to the American people, i was so proud to be an American. And the many days that followed, flags flew everywhere. Radio stations played patriotic songs. TV channels went on hold for moments of silence. I prayed daily for those families in New York and Washington. The previous year, I had been to New York to preform at the statue of Liberty with my honers chorus and had taken pictures of those high high towers from the island. I just want to note that I shall never forget. That I love this land. This American soil. And though there are those that say this world is full of so much evil (which I agree) I still say that there is still so much good. And for that, those lost would want us to remember and to still say let freedom ring.

Because there is still so much good worth fighting for. I am proud to be an American. Again, I shall never forget....

Please someone tattoo this to me before I have a major panic attack?

A. Enrichment next week. I need to get all table wear decorating ideas and come up with something brilliant.

B. Oh can so please clean my house and put all decorating boxes away?

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.

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?

In an interview, Isaac Slade from the Fray expressed his meaning behind the lyrics of the song:
"You Found Me" is a tough song for me. Its about the disappointment, the heart ache, the let down that comes with life. Sometimes you’re let down, sometimes you’re the one who lets someone else down. It gets hard to know who you can trust, who you can count on. This song came out of a tough time, and I’m still right in the thick of it. There’s some difficult circumstances my family and friends have been going through over the past year or so and can be overwhelming. It wears on me. It demands so much of my faith to keep believing, keep hoping in the unseen. Sometimes the tunnel has a light at the end, but usually they just look black as night. This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest.
