What Would You Say To Your Younger Self If You Had The Chance

Published by

My birthday is fast approaching, and every year around this time, I panic, thinking I haven’t accomplished all the things in life I needed to just yet, and getting old is really not helping me get there. But I do wonder, if I could go back, knowing what I know now, what is the one thing I would tell myself to do? Don’t you ever wonder? I’d love to hear from you…drop me a line. Oh and in case you are wondering what I would say to my younger self: It would be to follow your dream no matter what…Because at the end of the day, it is what will make you the happiest. {photo source}

friday’s five interesting things online – vol 3

Published by

So many articles, almost so little time to read them all. But I make an effort daily, weeding out my favorites. This week’s finds – click on the photographs to be redirected to the articles: Never once I imagined while I strolled through this very corridor of the Palace in Monaco, that once Grace Kelly stood there to be photographed for her wedding. Never once did I imagine this would happen, when I turned over my very first souvenir of the Eiffel Tower and read Made in China. Never once did I imagine an AMERICAN newspaper posting details of the Armenian Genocide on the front page of the paper We never imagine it could really be possible to quit life, and move abroad, or do we? Can you imagine being as rich as the rich?  

thank you lady gaga for the nostalgia

Published by

I have to admit, I am a fan. Been one for years, appreciating Lady Gaga in all her glory, admiring her voice to no end. Recently, if you were following the headlines, she’d teamed up with Tony Bennett and the two of them came up with an album, oldies to be exact and the results, I have to say are not so bad. In fact, it’s well worth the download. Here’s a sample just in case you feel as nostalgic as I do sometimes, craving oldies.

a treehouse: a writer’s paradise

Published by

For the past year or maybe less, I’ve been hooked on a television show called Treehouse Masters. At first I couldn’t imagine anyone wanting to live in a tree house or escape to it. But the more I watched the more I realized this is really something I would do. Especially when I need to escape for hours to plot out my writings or simply just meditate. Well, as normal while I scrolled through the internet looking for articles to inspire me, I came across this one – about a uniquely beautiful treehouse and I had to share, simply having fallen in love with the set up and wishing I could build one of my own, with views of a lake or any water of some sort. {photo credit from here}

travel: venice canals in venice california

Published by

When I travel to anywhere, I am always looking for the unusual to see. Something that would mostly impress and inspire me to develop a storyline. So, as you can tell exploring the Venice Canals in Venice, California is a must. I’m not going to get into the story behind the story, you can click here to read about it. But I am going to say, that please don’t compare the canals to the ones in Venice Italy. Instead stroll along the area early morning hours, before the heat, and take in the peacefulness of the experience.  

something’s going on

Published by

Every year around this time – always nearing September – I feel a little uninspired, and overly emotional. I think it’s the impending season change. I rectified this problem  in recent years with a two-week trip to Europe  – the first part of September. Which helped in the transition of changing seasons and all. This year however, I won’t be doing that. Instead I am going to stay local, and take a very short trip down to Los Angeles to unwind and reflect – planning how 2015 would pan out. Yes, one may believe it’s too early but not for me. I have way too much to do next year, and need to plan. In the meantime, I try to stay a little distracted, by writing, working on my third novel, and by finding photos online to help me escape. This photo, although not my decor style, for some reason put a smile on my face. Perhaps because it reminded me of my aunt’s house in South of France – whimsical, light, airy and very …

stroll along the neighborhoods in san francisco

Published by

I love the city, but hate the cold summer days near ocean beach. So, I decided on sunday to ditch the car and go for a walk. A long walk across town from SeaCliff to  inland, aiming to get to Fillmore street in time for lunch. I had originally planned to walk to the Golden Gate Bridge, but the cold and windy weather discouraged that idea. Of course all of this had to happen before the US-Portugal soccer game at 3pst. Along the way, I took photos as usual, of things I felt stood out, captivating me someway or another. Of course I had to censor the addresses 🙂

happy anniversary with wordpress

Published by

Today marks my four-year anniversary with WordPress. Although I’ve been blogging for nine years now, I signed up with WordPress four years ago. With this milestone I do wonder if blogging will be around for another five years or even more since I’ve seen many come and too many go.  Blogging, although fun, is often times challenging and since there are so many out there very similar indeed in giving information, telling stories, sharing recipes, travel, entertainment news and what to wear, it almost makes it difficult to stay competitive. Kind of like everything else these days. So, what now I ask myself. What more can I strive for and how far do I go? At first blogging was just an outlet and now I know, it has become much more for me. I do know one thing for sure, I cannot see myself waking up every day and not blogging. I suppose I am addicted and I still have loads to say 🙂 Happy blogging everyone.
