(just whisper it)

I love this project ...postsecret... it's like reading someone else's diary. It's like reading your own, if you were brave enough to write it.
The question is...what's your deepest secret?
Go on...i won't tell.

Ka-BLAM!!*#$!!!

Monday Shining

The glorious weather continues...
I'm so looking forward to spring & summer in the city. I already know it will be full of the kindof adventures you can only experience in a metropolis like this one.

This week was kinda quiet in the run-up to Easter. So, after forgoing the gym for 2 weeks, to find my London feet and get comfortable, i returned with a vengeance-3 yoga classes, 1 combat and 2 weights classes. Rarrrrrr

Someone who i used to be friends with, a woman, got back in contact with me, after 3 months and a fairly acerbic end to our previous friendship. In retrospect, i realized i didn't like the person i became when i was around her, and she remains to this day, the only person who has ever caused me to feel bad about my makeup artistry. Still, we did have a laugh together, so when she called, i called her back. The second i arranged to meet her, my whole body started to feel dizzy and weak with nausea. I felt off-balance for the next few hours. So i postponed. 2 days later and 2 hours before the rescheduled meet-up, my body started to have the same reaction.
When my body sends me a message like that. I have to honour it.
are YOU listening?



CHOOSE YOUR ENVIRONMENT WITH CARE

Create favorable conditions through your association with others.
Avoid people who belittle your ambition.
Small people always do that,
but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
THE DAILY GURU

I found this peaceful man early one Sunday morning, as i was getting lost in the side streets of Battersea, London and had to take a photo. He's beautiful, isn't he?

I am almost finished reading Tuesdays with Morrie. I must have one more chapter to go, but it is the chapter in which the inevitable happens. He dies.
So i'm putting it off, just a little longer.
The only thing that is guaranteed in life, is death, but i still feel immortal. i still can't concept that kindof loss.
I remember being a child, in a room at my neighbours house, playing with my best friend, Kerry. She was 8 years old, and suddenly she said,
"i'm going to die, you know"
I couldn't look up at her, nor could i make what she was saying untrue.
Soon after that, she lost her battle with that illness, and she did die.
I am thinking of her today, and i am thinking of how important it is to be kind, to be loving, even when we don't feel like it. To be generous with our time, and to really listen to others. To connect.

here we go...are you ready?

I am still overwhelmed by this week...so much so, that i'm not quite ready to write about it. Everything i've been doing, career-wise, for the last year and then some, all culminated in this one moment. Perhaps without realizing it, all my efforts have been directed towards this result. I just had no idea it would happen so soon for me.
Give me a minute...
