Romantic Vignette 16 #:Yumiko

Yumiko had enjoyed her marriage to Rokuro. He was everything that every girl would had wished for: handsome, wealthy, charming. Something stirred inside her when she woke in the mornings now. In the past few month she felt something is wrong inside her soul. Her mother and her in laws teased that it was time for her to become a mother.

Then a new teacher had come to the village, he was rumored to have been a disowned son of a wealth landowner in the western province. Jiro. She had first seen him when she had walked to see her mother. He was all legs, wild ebony hair flowing in the breeze and a crooked smile. When he looked at her, Yumiko's heart beat. Those eyes she had never seen eyes so dark and intense before.

As if on unspoken agreement, Thursdays would find them on the same path after Yumiko's visit her with her mother and the ending of Jiro's school day. They would smile, walk together and talk of books and places they both wish to visit.

Yumiko told herself that it was a harmless friendship. She knew better. She locked that away in her heart for now and looked forward to Thursdays with Jiro....

Happy Tuesday

Happy Tuesday, my friends. I know I have been gone for a minute now. Jake got sick with the flu and an ear virus. Guess who got sick too? Yes, yours truly. I am now better and able to fully enjoy the that Spring is here. I hope you all had a great Full Moon and Easter Sunday. I think this is the first Full Moon post I missed in over a year or more.

So what is happening in your world? I love to hear? March is almost done, April is coming in soon. April is Poetry Month. I'll be back again to share a few favorite poems and perhaps one of my own.

I also want to share with all of you in an upcoming post a few makeup items I brought. If there is anything you like to see here on Swan of Dreamers, drop me a line.

Dusting off Old Dreams

Happy Friday, I know I was supposed to be here yesterday. It has been has a busy two weeks at home for me hence why I haven't been around as much.

Today, I did something for my acting. I know I haven't mentioned me actually acting in a long while. I haven't forgotten my first love at all. With my husband in school and working and an active four year old, there is little time for acting. I have decided this year it's time to dust off that old dream and get back to it. I went to a meet and greet for a theater company that focuses on getting actors in front of agents. I was nervous about going but decided to just check it out. I felt a glimmer of my old self again. I know I can never be that free spirited single actor I was. I can be the me I am now. A still free spirited actor who is a mom and a wife. I had a bit of swag going on with my leather jacket, my hair done and my makeup on. I haven't completed left acting, I did direct two solo shows in late 2013. I still work on my monologues. I'm currently working on a script collaboration with my bestie, Neo, to film a short film in the summertime.

So what dreams have you been working on my friends? Or old dreams that you had to put on the shelf for a bit, like me? I love to hear all.

Here is a picture I put on snapchat today. With a bit of my makeup still on from the day.

New Moon Tuesday

Hello, my friends. Happy Tuesday. Today is a great day it's a New Moon in Pisces. It is also a solar eclipse, as well. I should add Happy International Woman's Day, as well.

Tuesday's energy is full of adventure, courage and inventiveness. Being it's a New Moon, this is a great day to make a new moon list of things you wish to manifest for yourself. I'm not an astrologer, I do know when it's a solar or lunar eclipse, the energy of the day is more intense. Like an extra spark of magic that resonates through out your day.

Can you feel the spring in the air? Bursts of warm weather is starting to happen now. I have noticed tiny buds on a few of the trees happening.

I decided to be very Aquarius and do something unexpected! I decided to join snapchat. Yes, so if you are on snap chat, come and follow me. I'm still getting the hang of it. It's fun.
