With this week-long holiday, I’ve had the time to reflect on my life and a few things I’ve learned from past experiences. It’s good to be given an opportunity to stop and think/reflect like this. Sometimes I feel like I can be too busy to think about how I’m feeling and where I’m going with […]
We are now very much looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together. Love is hard to find, so when you do find it, hang on to it! – Natasha Bedingfield It wasn’t that much of a surprise to me when I read the news that Natasha Bedingfield got married recently. After all, […]
I was reading Jason Mraz’ blog post about setting up his own solar farm for his home and I couldn’t help but feel a tinge of envy: setting up solar panels to power our home is one of the things I have wanted for years! Years ago, I remember reading online about the use of […]
For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can’t get out of your head, so that when your lips finally touch you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can’t […]
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away… That song was playing in my head while I tried to calm myself down during a boat ride I was on yesterday morning. I had successfully avoided getting on that boat ride for work a number of times but I […]
Bring Your Own Bag. That’s something that a lot of people are encouraging these days because plastic is not completely biodegradable and is therefore bad for the environment. I’m aware that there are a lot of places where the use of plastic is discouraged and even here in the country, shopping centers have their version […]
I don’t know how to explain that title properly. I think the best way to put it is that I got sick from being too busy – or maybe I simply became sick of being too busy. Both explanations work, to be perfectly honest. Work has been taxing, physically and mentally, with the latter taking […]
When asked about his favorite feature in a woman: You can’t chop a woman up like that. The eyes go with the nose and they both go with the lips. It all fits together in a way. It’s the overall spell, not the ingredients. – James Marsters I don’t know about anybody else, but I […]
Above all, don’t fear difficult moments, the best comes from them. — Rita Levi Montalcini, Nobel Prize-winning scientist, on her 100th birthday Things have been very challenging lately and I really needed those words of inspiration. It couldn’t have come to me at a better time. This too shall pass. Things feel uncertain right now […]
I had a dream recently that I was on stage singing, of all songs, Toni Basil’s cheer leading-inspired ditty Mickey. I was singing it with this group of people that I didn’t know in real life but apparently knew in my dream. One person was familiar though and at one point in the song, I […]
I remember years ago, when I was still new to the place that I now live in, someone offered me some Banana Split. My initial reaction was pleasant amusement because I was in a fairly rural community and the thought that they had banana splits here was a real surprise. Before I could picture bananas […]
I have never heard of this movie until I saw a preview of it on one of the DVDs I had purchased. Just on that preview alone, I knew I wanted to watch the movie. For some reason, I had to watch it. The following week, I had the chance to go to a video […]
A month ago I was talking to an old friend who I grew up with. We haven’t been in touch for a while and it was good to have the time to talk and catch up again. One of the things we talked about was how at this time in our lives, we should take […]
I wanna marry you because you’re the first person I wanna look at when I wake up in the morning, and the only one I wanna kiss goodnight. Because the first time that I saw these hands, I couldn’t imagine not being able to hold them. But mainly, when you love someone as much as […]
