About a month ago my Dad called, and left a message that went something like this:
So and so’s, sisters, partner works for Richard Branson, and they think you would be a great fit for this event coming up on his private island. Am I allowed to pass along her phone number to you?
My Dad is…

to call it epic is an understatement
akomuzikera:
it took 5 sets, 5 hours and 53 minutes for novak djokovic and rafael nadal to make a grand slam history record. it was the best match i’ve seen (so far)! and the longest grand slam final at that!
djokovic def. nadal 5-7 6-4 6-2 6-7(5) 7-5.
tennis really is the greatest sport ever!

It was a joy reading this entry! pleaseexcusethemess:
I was having a conversation with my boss-friend today. She’s got 6 month old twins and she’s tired. I remember when my boys were little but not sleeping well and everything was so hard. So, so hard. And yet I still made it to work and did my jobs as an employee, a mother and a spouse. And i…

icecreamisbetterwithafork:
A great sage once said
We come spinning out of nothingness,
Scattering stars like dust. But he didn’t mention the joy,
The pure exhilaration
Of being a conscious creator. Of looking all around and
Beholding the miracle of
The universe. In a blade of grass,
In a dewy cobweb on a

Tread softly on my dreams
Words can heal, words can bruise, sometimes even words written and uttered beautifully can brighten the bluest blues.
enjoy.
“had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet;
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams...
If you need something to be grateful for, check your pulse.

If you were (poem to my love 25-03-11)
If you were a flower
You’d be the one to first bloom in spring
If you were a royalty, you’d be the queen to the king
If you were a morning ritual
You’d be a fresh cup of coffee
So smooth and so good,
I want to make you habitual :)
If you were an insect
You’d be a butterfly
Illuminating colors,
Can mystify any guy!
If you were a day in a week,
You’d be friday, all day...

What's so awesome about being you?
When was the last time you’ve thought about such notion? No, really. Think and try to answer it. What’s so great about being you? Thinking yet? Can you answer it? Can you get over the fact that the query in its nature, sounds conceited? Or that someone might judge or make fun of your answer? That your thousand and one friends in facebook might think you’re full of it? Worried what kind of...

the best way to look at it is “oh, well. Yet another chance for character growth!” Of course, that’s after you passionately cry out “FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU….” Will give it another go tomorrow. Night, y’all.

Tomorrow is Today.
“We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late. Procrastination is still the thief of time. Life often leaves us standing bare, naked, and dejected with a lost opportunity. The tide in the affairs of men does not remain at flood...
