<p>I look out the window of my suite in Volterra. A group of Volturi, cloaked in capes gliding down below me. Moving through their lives so seamlessly, while I, here feel as though I am stuck. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Turning my glance from the scene outside to my reflection in the window glass. My hand raises to my neck where my Cullen crest sits. It has been there for as long as I can remember and even before that, I had visioned and dreamed of the day that I could belong and feel this very crest…</p>
<p>I look out the window of my suite in Volterra. A group of Volturi, cloaked in capes gliding down below me. Moving through their lives so seamlessly, while I, here feel as though I am stuck. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Turning my glance from the scene outside to my reflection in the window glass. My hand raises to my neck where my Cullen crest sits. It has been there for as long as I can remember and even before that, I had visioned and dreamed of the day that I could belong and feel this very crest against my skin. I still remember the day that Carlisle presented the necklace to me. I knew it was coming, I of course had seen it in premonition over and over and yet, here, in real life, there was nothing in this world like it. </p>
<p></p>
<p>The Cullens were mine and I was theirs. </p>
<p></p>
<p>So why is it that when I glance at the small Volturi pin that now adorns my sweater, gifted from Renata, do I feel drawn to it? </p>
<p></p>
<p>Is it possible that I really feel this strong pull to turn from the family I had known for so long to now join this new family that stand for everything the Cullens work so hard to counter? How can this be? My logic says that the Cullens are my home, my family. Reason tells me that I love Jasper, my hear and very soul belong to him. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Are the Volturi using tricks and gifts to sway me or is this really the new path that I am destined to desire?</p>
<p></p>
<p>A reminder that each step we take, each decision we make truly designs our truest fate. </p>

<p>Looking into the mirror, my new reflection gazing back at me with eyes of bright ruby red.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It had spent the majority of my life with golden eyes that were warm and welcoming, always seeing my place with the Cullens and our pact to protect human life from our thirst. I had never questioned this way of life, it felt almost natural for me.</p>

<p>Looking into the mirror, my new reflection gazing back at me with eyes of bright ruby red.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It had spent the majority of my life with golden eyes that were warm and welcoming, always seeing my place with the Cullens and our pact to protect human life from our thirst. I had never questioned this way of life, it felt almost natural for me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I remember the effort of guiding Jasper through this new way of life and watching his conflict between his biological instincts to hunt versus his respect for human life. It was a constant struggle for him and he managed to overcome most of his confliction because he knew who he wanted to be for himself and for our family.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now, looking into the mirror through my electric red eyes, I am finding that I am challenged as he has been in the past. Looking from the mirror to the cape I am adorned in, each passing day finding a deeper connection with the Volturi. Ever since Chelsea and Renata began to spend time with me, my bond, to no control of my own seems to be strengthening and the ties to my family, weakening.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I find myself desperate to fit in with the Volturi, desperate to spend every moment with them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can tell that Jasper is concerned; I feel a sense of guilt and obligation of course, especially now that the tables have turned and my eyes show my true intentions now that I can no longer hide.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My visions flash before me, seeing what will happen next for my path but there is nothing concrete. I don’t believe I am ready to fully make a decision.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Am I ready to leave behind the life I have created for myself in search for a life that I have always been against? Do I lean into this powerful bond that draws me in to the Volturi or do I fight it and try to recreate a bond that feels so distant to Jasper and my family?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looking back at my reflection, taking in how different I look and feel. Perhaps fate will bring me to where I am meant to be, who I am meant to be rather than controlling it as I always have.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What will become of me?</p>To Volterra.tag:thecullensonline.ning.com,2020-05-16:3404507:BlogPost:12425792020-05-16T17:40:12.000ZAlice Cullenhttps://thecullensonline.ning.com/profile/AliceCulle
<p>The choice my family and I make to live our immortal lifestyle the way we do, having compassion for human life, has always and will always put us at risk. </p>
<p></p>
<p>We challenge the very nature of being an immortal and therefore we challenge the power of The Volturi. They look at our family as radicals, as a threat to revolutionize how vampires can coexist in a world predominantly designed for humans. </p>

<p>The choice my family and I make to live our immortal lifestyle the way we do, having compassion for human life, has always and will always put us at risk. </p>
<p></p>
<p>We challenge the very nature of being an immortal and therefore we challenge the power of The Volturi. They look at our family as radicals, as a threat to revolutionize how vampires can coexist in a world predominantly designed for humans. </p>
<p></p>
<p>We know this, we understand the repercussions of our choice in lifestyle so it is of no shock to us when periodically The Volturi cause a threat to not only us but all we love and protect. That being said, while not surprising, it still shakes us to the core when we have the realization that perhaps this is the time when our luck runs out. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I feverishly keep my eyes to the future, looking for any clue or advantage to give my family. The Volturi are not fools though. They know that my eyes are on every decision they make and use that to make faux decisions in attempt to throw me off, sometimes giving me just enough information to strategize the faux plan before they change their plans last minute. </p>
<p></p>
<p>This trip, Aro has ensured that I know the main purpose of his calling me to Volterra. He is serious about having me leave the Cullens and join his beloved guard. He will stop at nothing and is growing impatient as we have held him off over the century. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I have told Jasper of Aro's plans, of what I know at the very least. I always know that Jasper, while worried can handle the stressful information and support me in planning with what we know. As for the rest of my family, I do not want to worry them any more than they already are and this helps me to control the environment with Jasper to the best we can while we are in Volterra. </p>
<p></p>
<p>My family and I leave for Volterra and with every second, with every mile that we get closer the heaviness of the security of our family weighs heavier on our shoulders and hearts. </p>
<p></p>
<p>We have succeeded against The Vulturi over the years and we stood together in confidence. I hope that this is another confrontation that we can add to the list of victories and this will not be the moment that we fail and that our family changes forever for the worst. </p>DIY Face Masks @ Home.tag:thecullensonline.ning.com,2020-04-11:3404507:BlogPost:12416512020-04-11T20:06:55.000ZAlice Cullenhttps://thecullensonline.ning.com/profile/AliceCulle

<p></p>
<p>Living in the present is always a struggle for everyone..we tend to get stuck in our past or focus entirely on hoping for the future. As we are stuck in the past and dreaming of the future, we neglect the only thing that is real in the moment. Without the experiences of the present, we can't create memories of the past or hopes for the future. </p>
<p></p>
<p>What on this day are you grateful for in your present moment. As perfect or imperfect as your life is..live in those moments above all else. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Looking now into the future, our upcoming year of 2020, what are your hopes and dreams? How will you realize them? </p>
<p></p>
<p>Focusing on small, actionable steps that are easy to achieve will always lead you in the direction to the larger picture of realizing your hopes and dreams. </p>
<p></p>
<p>So today, take a moment to honor your past, live in your present and anticipate your futures. </p>

<p>Wishing you a very happy 2020 Friends and Family. </p>

<p></p>
<p>Though moments like these feel secure and eternal, I still remember my time before Jasper, before the Cullens. A time where I only had myself to rely on. I can remember a time when I felt like it was me against the world and though I had vision that someday Jasper and I would unite and find the Cullens, it felt like forever waiting for that day to come. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I would observe lovers and families spending time together. It looked so seamless for them, so second nature just to just exist in this warm cocoon together. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I wanted that more than anything in this entire world. As days turned in to nights, I would look towards my future with hope and determination. Somedays, I felt so much pain that I didn't know how I would be able to go on. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I would let myself feel that pain and use it to keep driving forward. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Now, I look back to that time and it makes me feel even that much more grateful for all of the love in my life that fills me and surrounds me. </p>

<p>There is something to be said about maturing, growing and learning new things as a mature woman while still looking outwardly as though you have so much to learn and experience. As the people you interact with offer words of wisdom and advice to help you navigate this adult world. Little do they know that I could offer lifetimes of valuable advice and wisdom to even the oldest of people. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Time is beginning to limit itself here, I know that there isn’t much time left for my family and I to remain in Forks without causing scrutiny for the lack of aging we are doing. Good genetics comments will only take us so far. </p>
<p></p>
<p>So before we branch out, I take in my life here in Forks. The comfort of our home, friends and family..watching the once teenagers from Forks High growing their careers and families. Out of all of the lives our family has lived, this being the most special to us. I am truly grateful and will take every passing moment we have here left as a gift. </p>

<p>If there is anything that defines me, besides an incredible eye for fashion of course..is fun. Even in the darkest of times, I try to find the fun in everything. </p>
<p></p>
<p>If you are having fun in everything you do, it becomes contagious to everyone around you..especially if there is an empath like Jasper around you! </p>

<p></p>
<p>So, take your day today..what is it like? Is it naturally fun or does the fun seem a little more hidden and harder to reach? If the fun in your day is natural, really take advantage of that and amplify it so that you make today as amazing as it can possibly be. If the fun in your day is a little more hidden and harder to reach, take a step back and observe a small thing that makes that moment special. Really focus on that moment and soon, you will find that that moment begins to feel larger and can grow into gratitude and a feeling of joy. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Every single day that we are gifted, whether we easily recognize it or not, is filled with joy and fun. Live that joy, Live that fun. </p>

<p></p>
<p>Visions of movement, new paths, new discoveries. Our family is not new to change and new paths. Our history is rich in starting new beginnings together. We move through eternity together, supporting one another from one chapter to the next. Taking all that we have learned from the chapter before and applying our lessons into our new journey. We sometimes part with places and people, committing them to memory and holding them close as life moves forward. </p>
<p></p>
<p>My visions are beginning to show glimmers of new chapters and new people, places and things. I see familiarity and yet still see newness. I remember beginning to get those very glimmers of imagery roughly a little over a decade ago. I knew it meant change. I know that this could mean change. Not quite yet..but it is coming. </p>
<p></p>
<p>We have learned from history how to make for a better future as it is inevitable that the future will soon be coming. </p>

<p>Miracles happen each and every day. </p>
<p></p>
<p>We tend to focus on the larger miracles or the ones that are almost impossible not to notice. While there is no denying that large miracles are incredible and memorable, while we are only training our mind to notice the big happenings, we so often miss out on the smaller every day miracles. </p>

<p></p>
<p>To notice and appreciate small miracles, you almost have to re-train your mind to be still and train your eyes to open for small murmurs of happiness within you. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I did not fully understand this practice until I was blessed with the immortal state that I am now in. I often wonder, when I was human, what if I appreciated the rusting of the trees..the sun shining through the clouds..the symphony of a simple chirping bird and allowed myself to become awestruck with gratitude that I got the moment to experience such a beautiful, small miracle. </p>
<p></p>
<p>So, take this moment. Look around you exactly where you are at. Open you mind and your eyes. What do you see, hear and feel that gives you a warm murmur of happiness. Honor it, take it in and celebrate how lucky you are to be around such small miracles each and every day. </p>

<p>One of the most stressful things as an adult is the ability to have fun with your life. The once youthful feeling of carefree imagination eventually gets replaced with the heavy weight of responsibilities and obligation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>While no one can escape the reality of responsibilities, it is high time we reminded ourselves that in prioritizing having fun amongst a sea of obligation is essential to living a good life.</p>

<p>One of the most stressful things as an adult is the ability to have fun with your life. The once youthful feeling of carefree imagination eventually gets replaced with the heavy weight of responsibilities and obligation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>While no one can escape the reality of responsibilities, it is high time we reminded ourselves that in prioritizing having fun amongst a sea of obligation is essential to living a good life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When most think of “having fun”, they tend to think of large adventures and mega events that would need to fill their lives. While large adventures do come in handy occasionally when we can afford the time and resources, shooting so very high usually leads to us all together not having fun at all since we struggle to reach a huge objective.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So here is the challenge, think of small things that you find fun. Maybe it is shutting in with an enjoyable book or a cheesy TV show. Maybe it is painting your nails or going for a walk. Maybe it is allowing yourself to just take some time each day to do something that makes you smile.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Big or small. A simple moment or an entire day, commit to allowing yourself to have fun. You deserve it, you have earned it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have fun.</p>

<p></p>
<p>While the Met Gala celebrates art and fashion in an elaborate way, you can always find inspiration on how you can adorn yourself in the romantic theme this year with Met Gala inspired looks for easy and every day wear. </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>The Denim Romantic.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150215599?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150215599?profile=original" width="236" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p>Simplistic and casual, adorned with intricate detail and embellishments. Pairing basic pieces with embellished pieces and accessories gives you a fashion forward and romantic finish. </p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Bejeweled.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150215642?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150215642?profile=original" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p>Adding romantic jewelry to any casual ensemble, gives the spirit of this amazing inspirational genre. You can pair with the most simple of ensembles or pair with formal attire to elevate your style to the next level. </p>
<p></p>
<p>While many look at high fashion as a look that is hard to pull off or not realistic, my favorite part of the art in high fashion is how you can find inspiration from the larger than life looks and collaborate that idea into your daily life and style. </p>

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">I think the biggest question I get from people once they know I am clairvoyant is, “What happens next for me?”</p>

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">It is only natural to be focused on what is to come of us. I even find myself sometimes all too curious as to what my future holds. Over time I have learned that the present is hardest to stay in however it is the most rewarding to be in if you can only discipline yourself to live in it.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">Where do you live most of your life?</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">Are you in the past? Living out your regrets or pain and finding it hard to live in the moment of today?</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">Are you in the future? Living out your hopes and dreams of what you wish without taking in where you are at and how far you have already come that lead you to this moment?</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">When you find yourself stuck in the past or dreaming of only the future, you can miss the small nuances to your present that are rewarding and valuable. Sometimes your present is amazing with major things happening. Sometimes it seems simple and mundane. Sometimes it is painful and stressful.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">In all of those good, bad and mundane times, your present is the most true moment on your journey and I encourage you to make a commitment to be present in your moment.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">Allowing time in your day to honor your past and anticipate your future is important but try to have those times be brief and a small part of your day. Focus the majority of you day on being present in the moment.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">As you do this, I wish you the best on your journey.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">Love,</p>

<p><br></br>Every so often we all just need a getaway. A time to refresh and renew our perspectives and spirits.</p>
<p>When planning a getaway, it can be challenging ensuring that you are getting comfort and style all in one with the limited spaces for packing.</p>
<p>Here are my top three looks to ensure you can lounge in style and glamour.</p>

<p>When planning a getaway, it can be challenging ensuring that you are getting comfort and style all in one with the limited spaces for packing.</p>
<p>Here are my top three looks to ensure you can lounge in style and glamour.</p>
<p></p>
<p>1. To The Max For The Maxi.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150214973?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150214973?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p>The Maxi Dress is the ultimate vacationing garment. Comfortably wrapping and draping you in loose fitting fabrics while looking dressed up and pulled together. You will almost forget you are wearing a dress at all but onlookers will appreciate your style and class.</p>
<p><br/> 2. Ditch The Skirt For The Skort.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150214996?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150214996?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p>Somewhere between shorts and skirts, the skort was born. Giving you the flexibility to romp around in a pair of shorts while appearing that you are wearing a skirt. A skort can take you from daytime to night time in a pinch, making this a vacationing must have garment.</p>
<p><br/> 3. Motivated By Mules.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150215277?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150215277?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a><br/>The Mule is a sandal x shoe hybrid adding comfort and protection as you casually adventure about. It is also the perfect hack to being spring ready when you have not had a chance to get a pedicure.</p>
<p><br/>Here is to hoping you take the time for a getaway this Spring and with these three vacationing ensemble must haves, you are ensured to have a comfortable and fashionable time! <br/> <br/> Alice xoxo </p>Resolve.tag:thecullensonline.ning.com,2018-01-03:3404507:BlogPost:12141332018-01-03T23:21:53.000ZAlice Cullenhttps://thecullensonline.ning.com/profile/AliceCulle
<p>The New Year is a time of a new blank page yet to be written on. The beginning of a brand new year is a time to honor your past, live in your present and anticipate your future.</p>
<p>Honor the past. What did you experience over the past year? Celebrations, set backs, happiness and disappointments. What did you learn? How did you grow?</p>

<p>The New Year is a time of a new blank page yet to be written on. The beginning of a brand new year is a time to honor your past, live in your present and anticipate your future.</p>
<p>Honor the past. What did you experience over the past year? Celebrations, set backs, happiness and disappointments. What did you learn? How did you grow?</p>
<p>Live in your present. What are you grateful for? Are you satisfied with who and where you are? If yes, bask in it. If no, take this opportunity to make small changes that can add up to big differences. Are you obsessed with your life? If you are not obsessed with your life, this is your chance to change it.</p>
<p>Anticipate your future. Find excitement in knowing that you can still write your future and be the the person you truly dream of being.</p>
<p>This is your time, your life, your world. As a seer, I believe in you and all you can create for yourself in the New Year.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happiest of New Years to you and yours!</p>

<p>Within every family, we hold a treasure chest of secrets we hold sacred for one another. Sometimes it is as dramatic as well..your entire family is made up of cold immortal vampires but most of the time, it is simple small secrets that you trust one another with to keep.</p>
<p>Perhaps it is a family recipe or a small quirk. Whether your family secrets are big or small, it takes a level of trust and that trust builds your relationship into something astonishingly strong.</p>

<p>Within every family, we hold a treasure chest of secrets we hold sacred for one another. Sometimes it is as dramatic as well..your entire family is made up of cold immortal vampires but most of the time, it is simple small secrets that you trust one another with to keep.</p>
<p>Perhaps it is a family recipe or a small quirk. Whether your family secrets are big or small, it takes a level of trust and that trust builds your relationship into something astonishingly strong.</p>
<p>In our family, trust and honor are the virtues we hold most dear. In a world that does not find our way of life conventional, it takes having the support of a family in where you can be yourselves and live as you truly are all while being protected.</p>
<p>At times, it is easy to take for granted just how well you all know one another and the nuances that make you who you truly are.</p>
<p>Take this time to think of how through family and true friends you have the place to live your real life and be your real self and give gratitude for the trust and honor among you that make your true existence possible.</p>
