Do you believe in life after love?

We Are Child of Love

Sunday Morning

Brilliant Performance.

At Le Jardin Exotique in a beautiful town called Eze.

In the zone.

These are pretty much all I needed tonight. And some of that Great Gatsby. A much needed break from the crazy crowd.

Spoken Word Poetry: Sarah Kay

"And yes on a scale of 1 to over trusting, I'm pretty damn naive. But if I should have a daughter, I want her to know that this life is made out of sugar. It could crumble so easily but don't be afraid to stick your tongue out and taste it."

"Maybe love stays, maybe love can't. Maybe love shouldn't.
Love arrives exactly when it's supposed to. It leaves exactly when it must.
When it leaves, ask her to leave the door open behind her.
And whisper, thank you for stopping by."

Wise words of Bikram yoga instructor

"When you feel pain or grief, let it stay there for a moment. Overcoming it will only make you stronger. Don't distract yourself with other things. Focus on the pain and watch yourself grow from it. Only then will you experience true inner strength. "

This is why go to yoga: mental strength.

Exactly what I need right now.

“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”

― Dr. Seuss

Quotes of the Day

You are the same today as you will be in five years except for two things:

the people you meet and the books you read. 

- Charles Jones

Be Happy

We convince ourselves that life
will be better after we get married,
have a baby, then another.
Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough
and we'll be more content when they are.

After that we're frustrated that we
have teenagers to deal with,

we will certainly be happy...

when they are out of that stage.

We tell ourselves that our life will be complete
when our spouse gets his or her act together,
when we get a nicer car,
are able to go on a nice vacation,
when we retire.

The truth is there's no better time
to be happy than right now.
If not now, when?

Your life will always be filled with challenges.
It's best to admit this to yourself
and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favorite quotes comes
from Alfred D Souza.

He said, "For a long time it had seemed
to me that life was about to begin - real life.
But there was always some obstacle in the way,
something to be gotten through first,
some unfinished business,
time still to be served,
a debt to be paid. Then life would begin.
At last it dawned on me that these
obstacles were my life."

This perspective has helped me to see
that there is no way to happiness.

Happiness is the way,
so, treasure every moment that you have.
And treasure it more because you shared it
with someone special,
special enough to spend your time...
and remember that time waits for no one.

So stop waiting until you finish school,
until you go back to school,
until you lose ten pounds,
until you gain ten pounds,
until you have kids,
until your kids leave the house,
until you start work,
until you retire,
until you get married,
until Friday night,
until Sunday morning,
until you get a new car or home,
until your car or home is paid off,
until spring, until summer,
until fall, until winter,
until the first or fifteenth,
until you die, until you are born again
to decide that there is no better time
than right now to be happy...

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

So, work like you don't need money,

love like you've never been hurt and
dance like no one's watching.

Don't make me make you fall in love.

Black Tuesday

It's old news but makes me so upset every time I hear about this. Seriously, is this George Orwell's 1984 all over again?

Prime Ministers should be working towards increasing transparency in their governments, not targeting independent journalists and whistle blowers. Reminds me how fortunate I am to be in an environment where freedom of the press and expression are relatively respected.

Censorship is for children exposed to X-rated movies, not for hiding public matters that affects millions, even billions of people. The state's need for secrecy should not outweigh the citizens' right to know what's really going on in their countries.

"Skinny and tall" is overrated. Burberry isn't.

Unlike many designer brands, Burberry is not just a status symbol. 

It is a symbol of classic elegance.

I can proudly admit, expanding my Burberry collection is the only thing that keeps me motivated to study for this finance exam.

"When pictures are taken Black and White, you capture the Soul."

Without color, 

we aren't drawn to the makeup,

 the color of our eyes or our hair, 

or how tan our skin is. 

It captures the innocence on our faces,

the hurt we've gone through, 

the vulnerability,

brightening in our eyes, our skin

 & our smile.
