Champagne Soul and Bamboozled Wants :D

I was in the little marmy' loo' in FullyBooked yesterday when a polished darling lady flashes a smile and proclaims that  I, moi',,,the foggy feely greeny cloaked me...look - fantastic, haha!

Took me by surprise and a quick two second' to fitly respond! It was dear loveliness to be appreciated by another woman, and I warmed to her attention dolling fruity shy thanks, lavishly wishing her a pleasurable rest of the day! The lady beside her was beams as well, and we all three basked ourselves in a true activated magic moment of strangers connecting in a bubbly fizz of toasty merry female bonhomie geniality! Exquisite champagne soul experience.

I want to be as gutsy gallant as she is, shun self-consciousness dotting people with natural encouragement. Not that I needed attention, but coming from a cave of agh' hacking wheezy feelies' and touched by the morbs, it sure was sunny shine to be eye loved by a human angel. 😍

I'm going all out tutu and go for a pic of me in shades
- for the sake of posterity, haha!

Spent dinner evening with a dear dear friend and her beau - and my hearty' is floodlighted with cheer wishes for spells of long lasting love days. I bless bestow these folksies' with tenderness and life filled togetherness. Happiness multiplies when I see my soul hearts settled. All joy.

Me' thinks I'll take out the pretty pink candles and make a ritual of speak-casting goodness towards everyone I meet! Makes me feel breezy comet sparkly alive just thinking of doing so.

I want my surrounds, my aura to be pulsating glitters laced with silvery charity, and golden providence upped from a heart vitalized by the Source of Life. Speaking of which, this morning I was struck blessed to spend sufficient moment with the Divine Spirit of Life. In doing, I likely found my word for the year
-- "The Bloom"!!

The Bloom..The Bloom...How fabulous is that, haha!

Meditations centered on the Book of Luke telling of Angel Gabriel's visitation with a  Holy pronouncement of Good News for Mother Mary. The message was personally, one - for -the - books, I'd say, lols! Like I was being word lifted to accept upon my spirit the same cheer, with a certainty that it's all good and there's no need to be afraid, whatsoever. The power of the Highest, overshadows.

Thomas Kempis is a soul guide too. His Imitation of Christ is ever by my side and the fresh morning found me in his pages where communion with reflection spoke of instruction on how to determine your PATH. 

What I most found striking was the phrase that centered on how personal wants and yearnings can actually get an upgrade - only, it was referenced as ' growing to maturity'... Something I want qualified in my life. - I mean, really, if one keeps on pining for the same bamboozled wants then it goes to follow that one gets the same life over again, packaged in a different box, but of the same baggage still. That's what makes life feel like a choking trap. Different day, different problem, same circus circumstance. Samaskara. 

It's the newness of attitudes that refreshes life. 

In Facebook, I usually share a garland of Three Thoughts to up my day. As I look to my morning devotion, I'm inspired to surmise the following divine feminine thoughts:

🎄If you live from a humble heart of innocence you need not dread, dismay, despair of anything. God is your practical guide - wisely advising what to do. With life values in place, you will always have the upper hand! #enlightenedmind #clearconscience #straightpath

🎄Holy Devotion and artful prayer cure all sorts of diseases of the heart. One has the look of health. Breathing is easy not gut labored. The tongue is effortlessly word satin smooth,  untangled from knots of senseless chesty negativity.  Spiritual life valves are healthy; worthless bickerings, acidic disputes, tiffs, and foul fuss have no rancid ego space to regurgitate from. Remember, no argument will matter when one is stiff dead in the grave, haha! Pointless.   #glowingaura #preservedpeace

🎄Holy Devotion and artful prayers make for a charmed day! There is childlike adventure and wonder wrapped in the minutes. The smallest steps have profound meaning. When stressed, the gaps within air give available kindness as needed. Our actions are moderated towards compassion and politeness, sheltering us from being unexpectedly rude, in turn giving us inner calm and the confidence of appropriate self - love with a peace that benefits others. #positivevibes #upliftothers

Inspired Living 2017

All sanity depends on this: that it should be a delight to feel heat

strike the skin, a delight to stand upright, knowing the bones are moving easily under flesh. ~ Doris Lessing

"Enchanted Prism"  ~ My Expressive Imaginative Way of Living 2017  👄

Imaginative living my agh, haha! I wasn't imagining to be down - knocked - out with the peskiest of coughs for a full long week! Gad, it was wretchedly awful! Hard to believe I started the year with marathon sinus challenges, and Oho' gad goodness forbids I end it with a celebratory bout of sneezy headache fuzzies!👩 

Praise heavens I'm on the comeback feel of full restoration - thanks to a buffet of meds the doc prescribed, cheerio!  I can still feel a trail of tenderness in my right sinus passageway, but another night's sleep will heal through, my angel guide says to me. 

Whatever while should I complain of tedious aches and pains when somewhere around and a mile across people wailfully carry the purest sufferings of a beaten world. Unfathomable to my mind, but the year has seen a scorch of one madness reaching towards another. I ought to shush' myself. 

One thing learned is to more than dearly take proactive steps in ensuring vitality; change of diet, more sweat. more fresh air, more. more,  m-o-r-e of everything in life that's fresh, succulent, tempered with what's simple and common sense right. 🎕

2017 is at my doorstep, grinning winsomely, offering luminous perspective for a new inner world of exaltation. Well, why not?  Resolutions aren't my thing but plotting and creating sure are! More than ever, the call of living from inner bliss can't be ignored. I hear its clamorous invitation - insisting I stand upright and arise to a mesmerizing existence, allowing the bones of days to move - with - the - flesh, as the heat of a minute strikes skin and delight becomes life. 

When You've Got Cool Skies

Cool suave glitzy blue sky morning I woke to and was immediately affronted with what everyone seems to think is a brand new nefarious world! ( My bad, I checked the news!) - The moment my sleep droop eyes stirred a peeky,' the perceptible perk of waking up to fresh morning sunshine with a touch of rosy pink cool  didn't resonate with the beauty it's supposed to effect on me!

Oh 'I detest that! Cool mornings and days are so rare where I am, we have them for about a couple or three months most and it's sunburn season again. It's my favorite time of year yet my mind is cobwebbed by crubby ideas brought on by object referral. Shucks, I don't want to live like a spider, eight long legs and all but crawling, haha!  So here I am reminding my self of  what makes sense  and what is uplifting:

1. "Ponder the paths of my feet and let my ways be established''...

2. "Whosoever sees evil, let him change it with his hand, if not then with his tongue, if not then with his heart."

3. I pray for patience, the elimination of mental obstructions, such as biased perspectives and ignorance, and to cultivate a path of wisdom and enlightenment.

I thank Divinity for the spirit of purpose and ask dearly for an all encompassing love inspiration for a fruitfully honest Dharma practice, best applied at such a time  as this.

May all sentient beings feel at peace.

Wearing Your Fun: The Latest Online Finds! :D

I might have gone a bit 5th grade on this one, haha!, and yes, that's a scar near my wrist. Interesting story that scar - dates back to when my eldest was months old. I had to fix milk at 2 am, groggy. and the glass bottle dropped inflicting a deep nasty gash on that part of my upper wrist. But hey, this isn't about bleeds or wounds I'm journaling' here. It's all about my latest quirky online fun finds!

My fab online shopping, for the second time ever, was a success, haha! Pleased as an owl I was when I opened my parcels and found my lovely artsy vintagey wants smiling back at me! It was a welcome to mama moment, lols! I luuuuv' everything here - even if it may seem a great dot ...dotty' to others, hehe!! When I saw that watch, ah, pure fun you'd think I've unboxed a Rolex, lols!

This went well, but I'm not an online fan of shopping. I truly have to feel, touch and see something for myself before I swipe a credit card or thrust money in a stranger's account.

The tote bag here is great! It's printed fabric so there's room for stitching and styling. I'd pair all these with a fun cream summer light dress..or a light colored blouse with just the right patina.

:D

Sweet Cherrie'...Live From Your Imagination

Roselle Quin's Slidely Gallery by Slidely Photo Gallery

At last, haha! Been preoccupied with this and that and been here and there so it took a moment of a while for me to have my beloved poupee' take centerstage. This is Sweet Cherrie' -- my darling creation. She was crafted with a dollop of sugary temperament and a love for blooms. She manages a flower boutique and is presently engaged to arrange wreathes and stashes of rosie potpourri for a party of ladies who lunch. Sweet Cherrie' has 2 besties' - both to be introduced in the coming days.

Nothing could be more fun than giving birth to your imagination. I'm hoping to craft around 333 dolls. I'm in the planning and working it out stage. Last month I even attended a doll making class. Life's a buzz and things get in the way...but I feel I won't be complete until what I have in mind turns into reality.

My Moodswings Vintage LuLu dress, I luv it, haha! :D #uberjuicyglam

Life was a jet of luv' the weekend past -  the way it  should be!  What could be more fab than having the audacity to wear summer's sunshine, lols! :D This greeny, orangey, vibey dress is the ultimate - juicy retro! Goodness, this was lots of fun wearing - you can just feel the energy  bamboodazzled with marshmallow moments!! 

Dressing your truth makes people around you happy - makes every one who sees you glad!  I will never ever allow drabness to enter my sphere of 'Pink wisdom living - not ever ever again! Life moments of feeling up- vibrant and healthy are such  wonderful precious important gifts - what best way to be reminded than to wear your fun! 

Speaking of fun, there's  lovely place we tried  at BGC. Haven't  noticed it before, I think it must be new. Only one thing to say about it --> awesome! It' exudes a modernish' cutsie' mid-century vibe, words fail me, so by golly, you must go!!! I don't do restau recommends really, but this is one place I'd drag everyone to! It's fresh, cool, and the food --- wow, totally swag! 

It is not, and I emphasize, NOT, as expensive as a fine dine tootsie place,  but you have more than enough of that deliciousness  "experience" with a combined touch of colorful earthiness, a bit of a 50's diner feel, capped with a  touch of the Jetsons!  

One word of caution --> the temptation to take photos of other folksies food is to the max! Control yourself, lols! Oh' and go dress retro with funky colors - fab for photos! :D

Things May Happen Around You

I've made a conscious resolve to live from my inner sunshine and let be what I have no practical power to change. I'm referencing to the current state scenario which is an addled pipe dream of hope and ministerial mania, whose bloody center is pinned on a probable but evidently mouthful patriot or despot, whichever side one prefers to elect. I take no sides, angles, or corners except that of an astute observer, resolute on keeping negative minions at bay and concentrating instead on everything that builds my personal civic greatness. 

Greatness, what a lofty word, but Les Brown, bless him, is my current life inspiration. What a providential moment to reacquaint with his philosophy.  I used to listen to Les years ago and rediscovered the groove when my youngest son played the motivator's YouTube glibs'. They all came back, fired and muscled and brawny and full of high octane mind power blessings. I have several favorite quotes but the core of his talks would center on this most important lesson - the  rule of taking responsibility for your life. 

“Things may happen around you, and things may happen to you, but the only things that really count are the things that happen in you.” ~Les Brown

What I Wore to the Cooper's! :D

Poor bloggy boo'...haven't updated you for a month, tsk! tsk!..How dusty forlorn you've become, ( insert sad face, hah!) I've been here and some, it was all FUN,  but nothing written to mark those events...Ahhh....how could I!?! Never the mind, I'm typing back, conversing with spirit and air, banishing blogdom'' dullness and saying aye 'to writing beginnings! :D

Couple of swanky Saturday's back, we ( and by we, it's the Hubs and I of course) double dated with the dashing Mr. and Mrs. Cooper. I tell you, that day was darling' fab, all drizzly rainy, the skies floaty with its low fog clouds enfolding roof top buildings. O' ýes, I prefer the rains, the blessed cool kind that filters the air a notch down the pollution bar. For a long while the season of heat we had was merciless and  endless, seriously going on and on for what seemed like a scathing pledge to for-ev-er! Quite unbelievable and truly uncomf'table. 

Anyway, the Cooper's were fantastic lovely folks and we had a high grand evening of talks and laughs. One for the books, I'd say and the memory is for keeps.

Do take a look at that slice of sweet in the pic on the right! Now, that was one amazing slice - just perfect! Before heading to "Italliani's"at Serendra, where we met the Coopers for dinner, the husband and I shared a serving of Sansrival  and had ourselves both a cup of coffee at Larry's Bar. Didn't realize I'd actually luv' the place with its retro red stretched sofa and black fleur style tiles reminiscent of old homes. All these time, I'd just walk past the place and opt for somewhere else...well not anymore. I believe Larry's will be my new hangout of sorts.

Lately. I've been having fun all dolling up with a strange feel like I'm just now growing up! Kinda' grand, really because it feels good. Never really bothered with clothes and bags and other girly twirly stuff for most my life. It would take a great hoity event to make me seriously ponder what to wear.  It would be whatever, a shirt and some old jeans usually. 

The past couple of years  have been a  revelation, so perhaps I'm getting myself groomed better. I take notice now of what makes me feel snazzy great. This new found curiosity could only stem from the fact that the boys are grown and working. I  have me for  me finally. In this pic above I was wearing an..

1. Old US plaid

2. Guess jeans

3. Green sweat by MeMo

4. 7 year old pair of leather  boots

5. Bag by Ever New of Melbourne

After dinner the hubs and I decided to have one drink to cap of the late evening. I was dressed for fun but certainly not for a club the likes of  Bank Bar where everyone was seriously in sexy clubby black dress attire hahaha! I mean, I was dressed to rock  the rodeo, not bob with clubbing democrats. I dunno' but it's unlikely I'm ever going  back to that hive, very chic pulp fictiony' and cool probably - but not my vibe. Once is enough.

It's the joy in your heart.
