Are You Feeling Lucky?  Lucky In Love Blog Hop #luckhop

3/15/2013

 
Picture
Thank you for stopping by! Do you believe in luck? Do you think that luck is what makes your life better? I do! I honestly feel very lucky to have a wonderful man by my side. Our courtship is pretty different. I was his son's teacher and summer tutor. His ex-wife was instrumental in our getting together. 

When I was teaching lil C, my darling hubby and his wife had been divorced for years. I'd heard through the grapevine that they were a pretty scary couple. I'd heard that parent-teacher conferences usually involved screaming and name calling. Lil C was showing huge growth when he was my student and I wanted to keep BOTH parents involved. This was important to me as I was going through my own divorce. 

Since lil C was showing such growth with me, his mom wanted me to continue as a tutor over the summer. I didn't feel that it was right that only mom knew what to do and how to help her son...so I called Dad one day.  That call set things in motion toward the romance I have today.

There were a lot of different events that needed to happen to bring our relationship to the point it is today.
 

Picture
Like my own second chance at love, Lissa and Alex have to find their own way. If you think luck isn't important... just read their story (or the sequel coming out later this year).

Blurb:
How does a middle aged, divorcee with two children find her way back to love after a devastating divorce leaves her with no self confidence and no faith in love? Lissa's ex-husband has shredded her self-esteem so she's thrown herself into her children and her work, leaving time for nothing else.

When an life threatening illness in her best friend's family puts Lissa on the path to romance, Lissa finds new love in a most unexpected way--an introduced by her new guy's ex-wife. 

Who knew that first time loves could lead to second chances?

I don't see it as luck, I have been blessed with a wonderful family. I think that is more important to look at the blessings in your life. Thanks for being part of the blog hop! mjtoth.dis(at)gmail(dot)com

Hi Wendy,
Are you lucky in another way? I think everyone has a bit of luck on their side!

My husband is my lucky relationship. We've been married almost 20 years.

I don't know that luck has any bearing on having a successful relationship. It's a whole lot of work. I married my high school sweetheart right out of high school. We have been married for 17 years.

I like to believe in luck. I think it's always good to believe in something and luck is a pretty darn good thing to believe in , so why not? :D

"Second Time's the Charm" sounds like a really great book. I love the cover as well. It's cute!

I definitely believe in luck even if I haven't experienced it myself. So many of my friends have the most amazing stories of falling in love that involved luck, that I cannot not believe in it

It's hard not to believe in luck or blessings, whatever you call them, when you see it happening around you!

I believe in love and luck, I meet my husband on a chance as we worked together but in different buildings if not for a huge meeting we never would have meet

I believe luck brings 2 people together, but hard work is what keeps them together.

Yes. I agree! Hard work is important!

I'm absolutely lucky in love. I married my soul mate. We've been married over fifteen years now, and look forward to a long, happy life together.
We've bonded in ways I never thought possible.
We're so close that I never got morning sickness with either pregnancy. He got it both times. Seriously, how often does that happen?
We can finish each others sentences too. Without words we know what each other needs. :)
Thanks for being part of the hop.

I have been very lucky to have found a great guy (but I think he is lucky to have me as well, lol). There has been both work and compromise to make our relationship successful but it has been well worth it!

Thanks for the giveaway.

I have to say I am lucky in love...I took the chance even when 'friends' said not to do it won't last, he'd hurt me...11 years later, I can't imagine anything better!

I believe in luck to a certain extent, but there are other factors, too (like timing, and just being ready).

What a great giveaway hop! I have yet to be lucky in love but I'm working on it. My favorite love book is "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. Jamie Fraser is amazing and beautiful. I enjoy St. Patty's Day and this year I'm spending it with my best friend. We're going to two Irish Pubs and also some dance clubs. I am also wearing green and am not a fan of getting pinched. I'm not Irish either, but many people think I am because my hair is red, my eyes green and my name is Meghan, but I'm not at all. I won't be telling anybody that, however… let them believe I'm Irish.
Thanks for the giveaway!
