stay strong sunshine

It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things.

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.

Success, happiness, peace of mind and fulfillment - the most priceless of human treasures - are available to all among us, without exception, who make things happen - who make "good" things happen - in the world around them

First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst.

I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and you laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom.

Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.

You begin by always expecting good things to happen

     Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders.

How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.You can't just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream. You've got to get out there and make it happen for yourself.

Miracles happen everyday, change your perception of what a miracle is and you'll see them all around you.

No one can possibly know what is about to happen: it is happening, each time, for the first time, for the only time.

How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.

You begin by always expecting good things to happenLet us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen.

 For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen.
Build upon strengths, and weaknesses will gradually take care of themselves.

hope in the air

cold breeze
murmurs
contentment

she learned to free herself
she learned to let go
she'll be right

we are not in this alone.
there is beauty everywhere take a look.
there is no hurry tomorrow is tomorrow today is today.
you are you. thats something to love.
love you give, love you recieve.
things turn out dont force them.
dont concern your thoughts with ones that arent happy.

get in touch, be creative, be inspired, dress, dance, sing, create...express yourself.

ah sweet summer day you are welcome round town any time.

sweet summer rain you always know when to come, late... in the afternoon when we are all laying amongst the sand you start off lightly and let us run with delight.

days are long and living is sweet.
present now...thanks...ill remember to be living here.

i was enchanted to meet you

hello world your awaiting me...

thanks for being so kind and giving me a nice home, good food, a beautiful little garden, friends, such a nice work place.
you wonder why you would leave such things.
for the mere sense of discovery, of the unknown, the experience and memories.
we always have something to come back to.so why not?

when i find myself by the sea, in anothers company, by the sea
when I go out to the pier, gonna dive and have no fear

bright eyes

i want to know if you can be alone with yourself. and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

it was a good life. it just was not my life, the life my soul intended or needed to live.

i miss your random kisses

Just beacuse you were happy with him, doesn't mean you can't be happy without him.Forever is a long, long time, and time has a way of changing things.

stopping to reflect

its been too long!

today i finally got a chance to just sit and not have something to do or somewhere to be.
since the start off this year so much has happened it crazy, change, change, change.

all i can do is spin, spin, spin and laugh, laugh, laugh and hope to myself that it never stops.

i leave for Europe in two months from today!

i am so full of joy and mixed emotions.

i have been so busy working that i havent felt like ive had a chance to stop...

although...

the best part is no matter how busy you are, if you make time, you can still do the beautiful things in life like... bike rides around the city at night, drinking coffee and laughing over silly things, dressing up and sailing down creeks, meeting new people, admiring all the people out their on their little journeys, swimming in the ocean pretending your a mermaid, drinking wine, wine and more wine, missing people, loving people and being barefoot.

i have a list of things i have to do before i leave.
making its way to the top...

See my sister and nephew, give them a hug & kiss, tell them how much i love them.

strange and beautiful world

'The sight of the huge world puts mad ideas into me, as if I could wander away, wander forever, see strange and beautiful things, one after the other to the world's end. The freshness and wetness all about me made me feel that I had misjudged the world; it seemed kind, and laughing, as if its heart also danced. Who can feel ugly when the heart meets delight?'

just because

'because there was a hunger in me to see everything and do everything. i wanted to be everything i saw. i wasnt enough for me.'

moon light, vagabond spirit tonight.

as gypsy folks we tend to move on when goings get tough, but what do we do when we simply cant move on?

we can either chose to move on as in place to place.

or emotionally, within our being, staying in that same place.

we would like to think that we can catch air in the summer breeze and fly our way to a new beginning.

we must remember that we can move on within our mind and soul, without having to fly away to start afresh.

i understand everyone needs a change sometimes, yet can we learn to do this within our selves?

working in a hostel i constantly see the vagabond spirit coming in and out of the doors everyday.

sometimes this is hard seeing one you become close to leave, yet mostly i am ecstatic that they are freely following their dreams.

and i to know that one day once my wings have fully developed i will be flying like they are.

it is just within time and growth i will be in the air.

but for know i do not spare for i am content watching them grow, smiling often that one day that will be me.

for now i will continue to pack up my old case and travel within my limits, like a gypsy yet only moving at a slower pace.

its raining here on earth

first day of summer today, yet the rain has made its way to earth.

theres a freshness about it though cleansing the day before the sun will show its presence.

i watched kids play in puddles today barefoot, jumping about anxiously, squealing experiencing the joy of rain.

i looked around and wondered if anyone would mind if i joined in.

i wish i had of now, i will next time.

i wish for a a daisy chain & a lover.

she knew...

'Somehow she knew that you didn’t get many moments like this in your life: moments when you knew, without any doubt, that you were alive, when you felt the air in your lungs and the wet grass beneath your feet and the cotton on your skin; moments when you were completely in the present, when neither the past nor the future mattered.'

-Neil Gaiman

where does the love go?

love comes and goes like he knows what he wants to do

its here, then its there, doesnt really seem to care if im in or out with you

were lovers today,

then it changes in the blink of an eye

and I would stand here forever

if I believed I could ever feel the same way again in time

where does the love go?

where does the love go? go, go?

love comes and goes like he's got somewhere else he needs to be
and he rushes out the door before I get a chance to ask love why he wants to leave
you're standing over there with my father,
on the wrong side of the room
and something inside me dies, and I wish I could feel the way I used to,
but I dont.

love comes and goes like hes got another home away from me
got a spare set of keys and a house on the beach,
i know, i know
well love he gets tired and he decides to run away,

run away, run away
leaves me standing here with your broken heart
what can I say, what can I say, but where does the love go?


where does the love go?

Julia Stones new album is utterly and compleatly lustful!

Love & Peace.

let the breeze carry you away

" Life: it loves the young

The spring is short and summer brings hotter days for sleeping through.

Open your windows wide, the breeze carries the sea- it lives for you, now

Break off a piece of chocolate and hold it in your mouth.

Laugh when the wind catches at your dress- it only wants to play.

Life lives for the young.

So live... "

spent the day dreaming

'Without you in my arms, I feel an emptiness in my soul. I find myself searching the crowds for your face - I know it's an impossibility, but I cannot help myself.' 'I held her close to me with my eyes closed, wonering if anything in my life had ever been this perfect and knowing at the same time that it hadn't. I was in love, and the feeling was even more wonderful than I ever imagined it could be.'
'And when her lips met mine, I knew that I could live to be a hundred and visit every country in the world, but nothing would ever compare to that single moment when I first kissed the girl of my dreams and knew that my love would last forever.'
'Noah: "You wanna dance with me?"
Allie: "Sure. Now?"
Noah: "Mmm Hmm"
Allie: "You're not supposed to dance in the street."
Noah: "You are supposed to dance in the street."
Allie: "Yeah, but we don't have any music."
Noah: "Well, we'll make some... Bum bum bum bum bum bum..."
Allie: "You're a terrible singer."
Noah: "I know."
Allie: "And I like this song.'

'I love you more than there are stars in the sky and fish in the sea.'
'You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.'

'And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered. But most of all, I learned that life is about sitting on benches next to ancient creeks with my hand on her knee and sometimes, on good days, for falling in love.'

All quotes by Nicholas Sparks.

'You are, and always have been, my dream.'

sinking into mother nature

‎'there is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir, we must rise and follow her; when from every hill of flame, she calls and calls each vagabond by name'

~william bliss

'it is impossible to imagine a more complete fusion with nature than that of the gypsy.'

~franz liszt

'we are all wanderers on this earth. our hearts are full of wonder, and our souls are deep with dreams.'

~gypsy proverb.

living on a rainbow

I can feel your heart beat,

When Im all alone. I can feel your heart beat like its my own.

I can hear your music from a million miles away.

The angels got right when they made you that way.

Sometimes I wonder if youre made from bones and skin

Or are you something for me to begin again, again.

This love, this love, this love

I will build you a mountain,

So you can see.

All the away across the universe to me.

I will build you shelter for when the days are cold.

I will be your shelter for when were old and kind.

This love, this love.

barefoot in the sunshine

'i crossed the road to walk in the sunshine'

ok so i finished, complete! a walking, talking, human...emerged from the great depths of a life i have known for 13 years. now finally free and able to walk in my own light completely.

some felt sadness and a pang of emptiness...though i felt refreshed and alive!

now i wait to plunge myself into a new ocean, experience the ups and downs that follow, but ride smoothly along the waves occasionally resurfacing looking around and dunking my head back down into the big blue.

i will stop and swim to the shore, tread lightly on the sand and feel it pulsate through my toes...smile and continue on. like any being on a journey.
