Today is DL Hammon's Deja Vu Blogfest Day!
From DL:
Today is the day where we re-post one of our blogs from 2014. It can be your favorite, or one that you wrote during a busy time (A-Z Challenge, WRiTE CLUB, NaNoMo, etc.), or just one that you feel deserved more attention. Whatever the reason, this is your chance for a do-over. If you wish to see who else is participating in this awesome event...HERE is where the linky list is located. It's not too late to sign up either.
Funny that I chose a Friday post to post on a Friday, right?
Maybe that's just me!
I chose this post because I like to remind myself why I write about the people I do. Heroes and Heroines.
------------------------
Friday, July 18, 2014Late Friday post .. cause I don't own a watch.
I have no idea.
I'm cheating by using a post that I was supposed to use somewhere else but never did so I get to use it here.
I think.

Five things that make up the perfect hero and the perfect heroine?
Well, that’s a completely subjective list!
Actually, in my opinion, many important traits will overlap in people.
Heroes and Heroines … will be beautiful.
To each other.
They may never be seen as beautiful by others, but will see each other as beautiful inside and out.
Heroes and Heroines … should be funny. Period.
Humor will get people through just about any situation.
Heroes and Heroines … must be flawed.
Fact.
Who wants to read about perfect people?
Heroes and Heroines … are huge pains in the asses.
Truth.
They will find and bring out the very best and the very worst in each other.
Heroes and Heroines … will have love.
Always.
People say you can’t have love without trust, loyalty and respect.
I disagree.
Love overlooks a lot of things.
Love is always there.
Everything else is earned.

Thanks for joining me today! Have a great weekend!

| 2014 Christmas Tree - 1000 lights! |
Heather!
ReplyDeleteYou win for most lights.
Pains in the asses. That is so true.
Merry Christmas!
LOVED This!! I agree with everything you said and its a perfect choice for a Deja Vu.
ReplyDeletePS. Do you have to wear sunglasses in your house?
Loved this! I agree, no one wants to read about perfect characters. Where's the fun in that?
ReplyDeleteWow -- that's a LOT of Christmas tree lights!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat list. I particularly like the "pains in the asses" part -- I agree: and ESPECIALLY to the writer!
Happy Deja Vu!
Wonderful post and picture Heather,
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week-end.
Love your choice of do-over! And your super-hero traits describe my other half perfectly!.... I shan't be sharing with him that I think that LOL! xx
ReplyDeleteagree 100% great re-post! and your tree is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAmazing tree, Heather. I love it! Also loved your Deja Vu post. As always you have the best stuff to share. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSo true!!! Flaws and humor are big selling points for me. Glad this was your choice for the hop, I missed it the first time around.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Christmas tree! ;)
Uhm, spoken like a true romantic!
ReplyDeleteI agree all the way down the line. Now I feel the need to find more lights for our tree.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Great post thank you! Love the Christmas tree.. ..
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Heather. Your tree looks wonderful.

I'd never thought about the pain in the butt aspect, but I totally get it. There's nothing terribly heroic about nicey-nice compliant types who are so lovely to have around in real life. They don't tend to save the world; they prepare the party afterwards.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! I especially loved that heroes and heroines must be flawed. As a reviewer, nothing is a bigger yawn than page after page of the perfect Mary Sue.
ReplyDeleteGREAT rules for heroes and heroines! Thanks for sharing this. Happy Deja Vu weekend. And gorgeous tree with those thousand lights!
