A fairy-tale come true

         I live in a fairy-tale. 
                    

           Almost two months ago, my husband and I moved to our own place. It's been a dream come true and I think it is the best thing that could've happen to us this year so far. After the move, I finally have time to spend writing again (which I missed so much) so I wanted to start out by sharing with you a glimpse of our new nest.

details...

          And when I thought things could not get better, my friend Erika from Shine On asked me to write a guest post for her. Go there say Hi to her (she's very friendly and cute) and see details for a very simple but awesomely delicious greek recipe

the day my life started to work out.

picture via
             Today I decided to wear my ankle / wrist weights I just bought. So I geared up, weights on my ankles, shoes on, music... and I started my warm up. Boy, what a difference! When I started to run, I felt those weights so heavy. After 5 minutes I had to stop and take them out. I was too tired to continue with them on. After taking them out, oh man, what a feeling!!! I was flying!...
             And that was the moment I've seen the picture!!! The real life picture... how many times we "gear up" with weights more or less useful and assume we are Hercules and start wrestling with life? It was then when I understood better why Jesus said to leave our burden at the cross. And, started to think about those "weights" in my life that hold me back. Like fear of making new friends and than to be hurt again if/when we'll move, or not to be able to do my work better because I keep thinking I got the job I always said I would not work as. Or, how the fear of what the others will say about my crafty projects. Or, how I don't show my poems just to 2-3 people for the same reason I just wrote. 
             So, take that life! From now on, I'll gear up with weights only when working out so I can be healthy. Because tonight I've learnt these all other kind of weights just keep me from being me. 

what are the fears that hold you back?!

A path called life


           Till today I thought life is what happens while you're busy making plans.It's true, nothing to change.We are always thinking what to eat at lunch, what to wear, when to leave the house, how to smile, what to do this weekend, where will we be next year, when will find our true love, will we have kids?Will they be precious?How about smart?...And we forget...like 90% of the beautiful memories we could create will never be remembered.Because actually, they wasn't created ever.Because we, the people, stress too much, think too much, consider ourselves too mature and too grown-ups to play around, to smile, to enjoy life!.We get caught in some kind of game we call responsibilities and we cannot forget our duty to everybody but us.this is a reality.The fact I just realized is that life, actually is 10% of what's happening to me and 90% of how I react to it.I didn't say it.John Maxwell said it.And I think he has 100% credibility in your eyes.It would be foolish of me to say he is right.First when I read it, I was a lil bit confused and not really agreed with it.After a moment of thinking, I found out one of the pearls of life.You know, one of the most precious ones.The affirmation "it's not what's going on, it's how you react to what's going on" just became more powerful to me and it has got a whole new meaning.I think it is time for a little change, a good one.A change of view, a new perspective.To be more helpful and less complaining.I will learn how to worry less and I will let joy to perceive in my life.And it will be easier, because I got my friends to help me.And best of all, I got Eddie, what else could have I asked for?
          I know, at this point in my life I feel like I have to climb the biggest mountain in my life, and as much as I try to succeed, nothing is going anywhere.Like the more I am challenging myself, the more this mountain sucks up the life out of me.The energy.All I need to keep going.I need to get out of here.To go find my energy, renew my motivation, start a new story, a better one.To find myself again, to rise from my pain.To fly free like a bird and live intensely like a butterfly!To love without waiting stupid signs or answers.To laugh without being embarrassed about my laugh.To cry without the fear that others will think I'm weak.To express my thoughts loudly.To make fun of simple things, and call a bad hair day a disaster...To wake up one morning and know what am I gonna wear today.To stop growing up for just one day and to be able to relieve the child hidden in me.I wanna grow young in heart while I'm growing up in age.
