The Breath of Your Heart

In moments of silent, your breath softly whispers across my pores. Feeling its heat searing your song into my soul. Never a sweeping of hands across the face of time do I not know your breath is true.

Time is ours, the world belongs to you and I. Tomorrow is in the far distance, holding within its grasp all that is beautiful. You breath ever constant will carry us there.



I so love you, my Sweet.

Life Is Better As A Team

Cher and I as most of you already are aware, enjoy every moment we have together. Laughter comes easy, even during those moments when conducting business should be; as considered by others, more serious. However, we choose not to meet the status quo, but to exceed it!

Just as we thought we may be busy enough, something came along yesterday that squashed those thoughts. Not that our calendar isn't full enough already, however there seems to be room for something else.

With the Emmy Awards gifting suite nearing, certainly we are busy preparing for that event, another event is proposed to Emerging Magazine, the 29th Annual Chabad Telethon, September 13, 2009. I mentioned the proposal to Cher, her response, "How cool? let's do it!" Naturally, we jumped on it right away and began the usual promotional efforts.

Here is some of the details: Emerging Magazine sponsors will have the rare opportunity to have their products given away during the Telethon to callers donating $100 or more to the charity. The product and the telethon will be seen by 20 Million viewers during the six hour live broadcast. It is akin to our sponsors getting a mini-commercial 4 to 5 times during the event... Free!
I'll just post the link here for you to check out for yourself, Click Here.

Cher and I share the same passion for charitable causes and promoting those we believe in. This is one of those causes we will support. When it comes to helping others in need, we want to be somewhere in the thick of it all.



This event has given us another reason to smile and to feel joy. I was fortunate enough to get a few hugs after I announced we would get involved. That alone is worth it all.

I truly love my wife and best friend, she is amazing, kind and sweet. I feel a new poem coming on, she just moves me that way.

Cher, I love you. There are no words created in the known universe that can come close to explaining just how much I love you.

Plans For Cher Ferroggiaro and I

Since we began as friends and are now married as friends, Cher and I share many of the ideals and pursuits we had prior to getting married. So many wonderful events have happened in the few short months we have been married. Actually, we will have our 1st anniversary August 30, 2009.

I will provide a brief time-line to bring you up to date.

After we were married, the next morning was a blur, she had to return to her home by plane at 8am. and I didn't leave until 2pm in the afternoon to return to my home. The Emmy Awards were coming up two weeks after we got married and Emerging Magazine had space in a gifting suite. Therefore, we could not be together as preparations were being made for the event.

However, Cher and I spent countless hours on the phone, often falling asleep with our phones beside our ears, listening to the other breathe. That was so nice and comforting although the miles separated us and we hadn't even had a honeymoon.

The Emmy Gifting Suite took alot of my time and I called Cher when I had a moment to rest. That evening after the event was over, I attended an art show in Beverly Hills and called Cher to tell her I missed her and to let her know she was loved. Being the understanding person Cher is, she knew that business had to have its time as well.



I was then kidnapped by a husband and wife team of Honduran doctors, but that is another story! However, it ended quite nicely with a birthday celebration in Malibu with everyone suggesting I get home to my wife... who gets married and departs almost immediately after the marriage ceremony anyway?! Hmm... between our career choices and lives, this seemed normal!

We finally joined together again in November, just in time to celebrate our first Thanksgiving as husband and wife. Cher and I shared the cooking and enjoyed the time we had together. During the next few months we enjoyed shooting photographs of winter scenery.



During those winter months we discussed our future and what we wanted to do next. Cher and I both have a passion for helping others. We pondered helping others by giving them employment during the recession. Pulling our resources together we opened a new company in March. We hired 5 new employees and by May we had hired 5 more. During the course of growing the business and entering into a new contract, we met a guy whose aspirations were similar to our own.

Cher and I discussed opening another company to employ others in two of America's largest industries. We decided this would be the next move for us. We sat down with our new friend and presented the plan. We settled the deal with a handshake, just as we did with the previous contract negotiation. Yes, there are still Gentlemen whom believe a handshake is as good as anything on paper. A man's word is a man's bond right?

So you might be thinking, "How can these two individuals do so much and still find time to write love letters, poetry and give love to each other?" Good question, it takes alot of determination and to stay focused on each other and the reason you both fell in love in the first place. Oh... and getting about four hours of sleep a day!

Cher is amazing, she has given her support and still has the ability to smile through the changes, advancements, careers, employee relations and love the man she chose to spend her life with.

I am so appreciative of her, her devotion, her drive, determination and willingness to go the next mile head-on. We spend so much time together,we have become inseparable. Most couples we have come across welcome time away from each other. Cher makes loving fun and we discover something new about each other seemingly every day.

So what is next? Next month we set out for Seattle, the beautiful city of Seattle, Washington. Where we will enjoy taking pictures, visiting Mount Rainier, sampling the smoked salmon and taking in the beautiful views of the city from the Spaceneedle, and quite possibly steal a kiss or three from the observation deck.Seattle's skyline, waterfronts, mountain ranges, especially the year-round snow-capped Mount Rainier culminate to awaken the artistic senses and awe the self with splendor and majesty.



Then we will drive down to one of the most beautiful cities in the world, one of diversity and acceptance... San Francisco, California our home, no matter where we may travel. We will spend some time with friends, photograph the points of interest and then make our way to Beverly Hills, California for the 2009 Emmy Awards gifting suites. This will be Cher's first year to attend and be part of the event. She is excited! From a photographer and writers standpoint that is.



After the three days there, we will head to North Carolina to stay and shoot photos at a friend's lakehouse, before arriving in Virgina Beach to open a new office and our new business. Final destination, New York City to do an interview and photoshoot with a Fashion maven.

Surely our love will grow even more and we will have a lifetime of experiences to share!

I love my wife and best friend, Cher.

I Saw You One Hundred Times - Love Letter

My Sweet,

Today as we were driving, I saw you for the first time, for the one hundredth time. Truthfully, I am certain it is more than the one hundredth time, only I needed a reference point, like that matters. I once was alone like unto a single leaf amid a vast of white. Looking over at you, my mind wandered pleasantly.

I smiled to myself, taking pleasure in the fresh breath ushered into my pores, rushing swiftly to my heart. These are those moments you never see, the ones I enjoy just as much as hearing you laugh or smile.

In the near future we will have been joined together one year. Quite a year it has been. Starting out as best friends we started on a new journey, although it began long before we knew each other as we are today.

We secured our friendship with a kiss and a few I Do's in the desert of lights. A night to remember with an Elvis, a water dance and a quenching of thirst on a bus with no name.

From that moment we have endured the most uncanny of moments, the joy of seeking new ventures and bringing them to life to discovering things undiscovered about ourselves until now. Only we know the in between moments that keep us as One.

Although it has been written many times by many lovers... I love you more today than yesterday and to you, I am true.

Yours until...

Stefan

In Perpetuum With You

Inroads East, pathway of discoveries, elation, mishaps and erected futures.

Take nothing from my breath, usher within its fragrance, know who I am.

Moments carve into time, savoring their presence, swirling about tongues of memory, fading, never evaporating into the abyss.

Where now is the the coming joy, words yet unspoken hold mysteries of undulating whispers of love.
Patiently the morrow seeps to the sea, with you in, perpetuum.
