Attack of the warm fuzzies

Does happiness travel through the air? If it does my dear friend and I were attacked with it in the park. It floated on soft white clouds and blew around us, drifting gently to the ground. 

The wind carried these fuzzy warm feelings through the air as if to say, smile...the sun it out and the day is blessed.

Amy and I tossed aside our accessories and danced in the fairy tale like park, even enjoying a private concert that could have been conducted by the pixies themselves. The flute fluted. The sun glistened and happiness danced inside me. I threw my cares in the wind and the wind brought me back smiles.

We made no fuss, just played with fuzz. We bartered our burdens for belly laughs. The wind said, yes I will take your frowns and you can have a full day of fuzzy fun. The wind made no reservations; it sent those clouds of happiness down in swarms. I wondered if it was a fair trade, for I spent the day in bliss but the wind had nothing but a past frown.

Darling wind attack me with your fuzzy love whenever you please and I shall give you my sorrows.

Butterflies Journal

Butterflies Journal (Magnetic Closure) (Notebook, Diary)






I collect journals, and I would like to add this pretty butterfly, spring-ish one to my collection. I like that it has a magnetic closure and that it's hardcover. According to reviews, this journal is sturdy, has a small pocket in the back which I think is a great bonus to place photos. I also like that it has faint lines that don't dominate but still ensure straight sentences. A pretty journal indeed that I would love to add to my collection.

Are You Perfect?

Dr Wayne Dyer says in his book, The Sky’s the Limit that “you must allow yourself to think of yourself as perfect if you are ever going to achieve your full potential.” He then goes on to explain that thinking of yourself as perfect in no regard means that you lacking motivation for future growth.

These words provide great truth. Many people “settle” with the status quo. Then there are notions that we associate with perfect as arrogant or a cop out to journey further in life. But the truth is you can grow, change and reinvent yourself and still be perfect.  

It’s important that the essence of one’s perfection is evaluating themselves, accepting what they perceive as perfect in the present and growing from that.

When was the last time you marveled at your potential? Yesterday? Last week? Maybe you never have. Every single person should marvel at their potential each and everyday. The only way you can fully arrive into life is to view yourself with new eyes instead of meekly “going with the flow” because you don’t think you’re good enough to get into the big game.

Grant yourself permission today to grow and achieve further. Very few people give attention to the born capabilities in every human being to achieve greatness beyond the status quo.
There is no hard statistical data to measure greatness, so you don’t have to chart your data between normality and something worse.

If you feel that you are coping with life as well as the next person why not see yourself further, instead of seeing how you stack up against other people.

Begin to look at yourself in a new and exciting way.

Lace Ballerina Dress By Rare Opulence

 

 

 

 

Sweet goodness, I adore this dress! I have a thing for tutu style dresses, so I'm not at all surprised that my eyes slightly popped out of their socket when I saw this beauty. What I am surprised about is that I still like it despite it being a one shoulder piece. I'm two or non strap kind of girl, but this number is so pretty I don't care how many straps it has. I want it on me!

 

Sweet Vermicelli

 

Sweetness comes in many flavors: the chewiness of childish candy, the warmth of a friend's smile, the bliss of a surprise gift. From mouth to heart, my vermicelli day with my friend Amy was full of sweetness. 

Amy is a vessel of sweetness, so kind and so much fun to be around, and equally indecisive when it comes to choosing what to order. When it comes to Vietnamese I want a buffet, for a single plated meal always makes me want to something else. I just love it so much I can never decide what to fill myself with.

My heart set on a vermicelli bowl and a strawberry-banana smoothie. It was delicious, though I longed for a Vietnamese sub as I devoured my meal. I should learn to be more grateful of my meal.

I was however, very grateful for the gift Amy surprised me with. A sweetly written note accompanied sweet smelling cupcake vanilla body spray, some star burst candy, and a cute popsicle ring. All the items were something my heart smiled at.

The wind and brewing clouds tried to put a damper our warm heartened day, but neither of us let it. Though I have to admit the cold wind made taking pictures a challenge, a giggly one mind you.

I love days when it all seems so sweet. Not a drop of rain, a wrong meal order, or the worry of exam results can deter you away from what is presently at hand--happiness.
