this is how I feel today...

adventure...

without challenge, adventure is impossible

the way you look at it...

"It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye."

Life in the single lane

Being single is actually quite fun!

But, this is new for me. I have been in 4 long relationships since I was 19. The first, with the one who I later married after 4 years, and the marriage ended 3 years later. Seven years of my life... now when you're 31, that's a long long time.

The second, third and fourth, lasted 6 months, 2 years and a year in that order. So for about 7 or 8 months since I was 19 I have dated. The rest, I've randomly been on dates and met people in between.


So, now I am feel sort of stuck. Dating. How it works, what doesn't work, what guys want, what they don't want.

What I do know...

1. I know the basic rule - be yourself. I do that well, or at least I think I do!
2. What I want... that I know. I have at least managed to figure that out & what I don't want!

The rest? Remains a mystery to me.

Right now, I'm quite happy to just *be* and to enjoy life in the single lane. I love my life, I love my career, I am passionate about digital media, and I have amazing friends. I always have something to do... fabulous places to go to and awesome people to go with!

But seeing as I seem to be meeting some fun and interesting people... do you have any tips for a singleton?

Life...

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain...

breaking all the rules

sometimes...
I find myself not quite knowing which direction to take...
and then,
suddenly
it all falls into place...

everything
comes together
it all makes sense

and on the first day of spring, where everything is...
perfectly synchronised
and when you feel like the world was against you
you see that it was conspiring for you
and there are new horizons
because the sunset has changed
and the flowers bloom
and the air smells different
and you decide to leave the anchoring past behind
and walk towards what you want
what you desire
what you deserve

and at the end of the perfect day,
when all the rules have been broken
and you didn't know what the outcome would be
the perfect sunset greets you

and in that moment,
you know
that everything is as it should be.

my thoughts on relationships...

some relationships are like this: you order champagne, you get hunters dry...& you think to yourself...well, it's not a black label, so you enjoy it while it lasts...

i say about relationships: if you order champagne & you get the hunters dry send it back & wait for what you want... the taste of bubbly is worth it!

what are u waiting for?

You're waiting for that magical day when someone makes the connection and recognizes who you really are. Maybe they'll first catch the sparkle in your eye. Or perhaps they'll marvel at your insights and the depth of your spirit. Someone who will help you connect the dots, believe in yourself, and make sense of it all. Someone who will understand you, approve of you, and unhesitatingly give you a leg up so that life can pluck your ready, ripened self from the branch of magnificence. Ahhhhhhhhhhh...

Well, I'm here to tell you, your wait is over. That someone, is you.

(from a note from The Universe)

life...

...Living the life of your dreams is a lot like sailing.

You pick your destination, hoist up your sail, make minor adjustments while the journey is underway, and let the wind do all the hard work.

In other words, imagine the end result, do what little you can, make minor adjustments while the journey is underway, and let me blow your mind.

Does love at first sight exist?

an excerpt from female2female blog interview with me today that I would like to share with you...

I often blog about love, and the irresistible desire to be desired irresistibly… Love at first sight… yes, I do believe it does. It has happened to me more than once….But lasting love… that’s a bit harder. Finding the imperfect person, perfect for you, is true love. And when the breathlessness and the promise of eternal passion and romance and that “inlove” feeling is gone… the inconceivable idea that you could ever be apart is what will hold you together.

“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more.” (From the notebook).
