Wish Me a Safe Journey!

Yahoo! I'm heading to London this week. So I'll be officially taking a little break from blogging for a few days.
I'm looking forward to sharing my London photos with you all, dear readers, and can't wait to tell you all the details as to how my trip went.

I hope everyone's having a wonderful day! xx

P.S. See you soon! 

Ultra Busy and Excited

Okay, okay I know. I shamelessly skipped a post yesterday.                                   

I am sorry...or maybe not really. I had a crazy week and when

I say crazy, I mean it! The last couple of days sucked a little...
I was really busy most of time, and while being busy I still wanted
to sleep so much that I could barely think properly or
concentrate on something.

I'm going to London on Thursday for a few days and that means
I only have two days to have everything prepared and that's not
even really enough so I had to work on it a lot. 

I really, really, really need to start getting ready for my trip.

I am happy I've got my airplane ticket and hotel booked so I'm sort of
safe here.
                                               
And speaking of my trip, as much as I want to spend a few days in

London it sucks to think that I am going to miss my adorable little
kittens.
I'm departing on November 11th. I'm so excited; can't wait to see my
dear friends again. xx

Have a Delicious Weekend!

So sorry I've not been around much lately but this has been a pretty hectic week. 

So, I am so glad it's over.

 

Well, I like eating dinner at home, hosting movie nights with 

friends and making chili with lots of sour cream and a big 

Crunchy Salad with crispy bacon, blue cheese and pear slices (key)

and mixed greens served with a mustard and red wine dressing.

If you love salads I'm pretty sure you'll love this.
Not to mention this is a super easy recipe.

What is your favourite salad, dear friends? What ingredients make
it the best?

                                   

Hope you have a great rest of your Friday and an even better

weekend, and here are some great blogs that definitely draw you
back. xx 

         

21 things learned in 21 days from redoing my kitchen

Do you ever find a cool new blog but be all shy to comment?

A butterfly dress ? what a delight from a cute Ducky!                                                                                

Thank you, Guys!

How can one help shivering with delight when one's hot fingers close around the stem of a live flower, 

cool from the shade and stiff with newborn vigor...

Colette.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

Marcus Aurelius.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist,

that's all. 

Oscar.

Live your life and forget your age.

Norman Vincent Peale.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what

we give.

Winston Churchill.

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about

life: it goes on.
Robert Frost.

I believe in doing the things you feel is right. If it looks right,

it is right.

Dorothy Draper.

Life is a succession of moments. To live each one is to succeed.  

Corita Kent. 

Every day, a moment passes that leaves memories to last.

I still find myself amazed by the souls whose kindness endured  

whenever a need  was raised.

I'm immensely grateful for my blogging relationships with you all.  

Thank you for your continued friendship and support.

                                     

You all mean more to me than you'll  ever know. xx

People + Happiness

I woke up early in the morning and looked at myself in the mirror.                         

And said. "I have a question for you today.

Do you know how to be happy? or are you waiting for happiness

to find you?" Ok. I know. I know.

Happiness doesn't appear by magic despite what fairy tales 

depict; It's something we can cultivate.

Actually I strongly believe that how to be happy can't be boiled

down to one thing and happiness doesn't come from being rich 

or beautiful or living a stress-free life, the reality is that those

things don't confer lasting happiness. 

Happiness is the sum of our life choices, and our thoughts and

actions can dramatically influence our level of happiness.

So I've decided to invest in relationships (family-friends), and

express gratitude, appreciation and thankfulness for life and

for the good things in my life. And I found a goal. A purpose.

An aspiration. Striving to meet my goal...makes me feel really 

happy.

I just know that relationships provide the strongest meaning 

and purpose to my life! So my goal is: to cultivate meaningful 

relationships and live in the moment focusing on the positives 

in the present moment, and not spending my time rehashing 

the past or worrying about the future.

What is your purpose, my dear friends. I'd love to hear. xx
