I believe luck is preparation meeting opportunity. If you hadn’t been prepared when the opportunity came along, you wouldn’t have been ‘lucky.’

- Oprah

I believe this, too!

Life can change in an instant. Sometimes it’s the result of a chance encounter, or the reading of a letter discovered at the bottom of a jewelry box…And sometimes it happens over office supplies.

- Maria Wilhelm & Dirk Mathison

Happy Monday everyone!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

- Mark Twain

I hope you are all enjoying your week. Remember what the quote said, sail away from the safe harbour. Get out of your comfort zone! There’s so much out there for us to explore and discover.

Happy mid-week everyone!

…There is no vocabulary for love… love that’s lived in but not looked at, love within the light of which all else is seen, the love within which all other love finds speech. This love is silent.

- T.S. Eliot

Any plans for tomorrow? Or are you one of those people who thinks Valentine’s Day is overrated?

Happy Love Day to all!

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You’ll have your heart broken and you’ll break others’ hearts. You’ll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you’ll cry because time is flying by.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you’ve never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. You just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone’s hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts.

Don’t be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

Happy weekend everyone!

Beauty comes as much from the mind as from the eye.

- Grey Livingston

You can be beautiful when people look at you. But you have to have something sensible that will come out of your mouth to be able to sustain being beautiful in the eyes of the people looking at you. You know what they say about beauty and brains, right?

Having the best things is no substitute for having the best life.

- Oprah

Money isn’t everything. Sure, it buys and gives us comfort. But it can’t buy us happiness. We can get happiness in so many different ways, even in ways where money won’t matter.

Live the best life.

This year, I intend to do that. I intent to live healthy as well. Slowly until it becomes a habit and a lifestyle.

Found this quote today and I thought of sharing it with you…

I also read a quote from Paulo Coelho…

Don’t try to predict or forecast. May your life be full of adventures.

And both quotes are right! Where’s the sense of adventure for a person who knows his tomorrow?

Happy Monday everyone!

Christmas can’t be found on a tree or in a package. It comes with the rich connections we make with those around us and with the nurturing we extend to ourselves and others—those are the gifts that count.

- Oprah

Truth is, I cherish the greetings sent to me. Text messages sent, calls made, even the unexpected greeting cards. I cherish all those and I never forget. I am a person who’s easy to please. And when I feel like you really made an effort to remember me, it touches my heart like nothing else does.

There is one rule: If you aren’t having fun with your clothes—if you don’t enjoy wearing what you have—you are wearing the wrong things!

- Randolph Duke

I can be kikay but I don’t follow trends. I normally go with what’s comfortable. I’ve been that way ever since. I once tried following what’s “in”. I felt stupid the whole time. It just wasn’t me. It will never be me.

Go with something that will make you feel good and comfortable. It’s YOU that matters. Not the opinion of others. At the end of the day, it’s YOUR mind and body who will enjoy or suffer anyway.
