A Return to Love

Este a doua oara cand, in decurs de 48 ore, ma lovesc de aceste versuri care imi atrag atentia...
Prima data au aparut in filmul Coach Carter pe care l-am vazut weekendul asta. Un film care desi poate pe imdb n-a obtinut o nota mare, m-a impresionat pana la lacrimi.
A doua oara a fost in aceasta dimineata cand am inceput sa citesc cartea lui Wouter Snyman - Would driving a Porsche change your life?
Cumva poezia tot apare in viata mea si nu pot sa nu ma intreb daca nu cumva e un mesaj pentru acea Diana care deocamdata incearca sa se regaseasca...
Oricum ar fi m-am gandit s-o impartasesc si eu mai departe. Cine stie, poate mai e si altcineva in cautarea unor raspunsuri.

"Return To Love"

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Out deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people
will not feel secure around you.
We were born to make and manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

Sunday tune

Hello everyone,

Remember how I posted on Friday this really cool campaign done by Contrex mineral water? Well here's the music they used for the whole thing: Francoise Hardy - Comment te dire adieu.
Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!

Who ever said exercise was dull...


...Clearly did not hear about the 'Contrex experience'! :) 
I've been watching this clip over and over again, having fun every time and not getting bored.  
Heads up for Contrex' brilliant idea!
Enjoy

Weekend atmosphere

Here comes the weekend and I am feeling dreamy. 
I woke up this morning with Antonin Dvorak's Serenade for strings stuck in my head, especially the second movement - Tempo di valse (to be honest with you I went to bed thinking of it). It makes me smile and feel alive every time I listen to it, so I decided to share it with you. :)

The piece was conducted by Daniel Barenboim and performed by the London Chamber Orchestra in 1971.
I had the opportunity to see Barenboim conduct this year at the George Enescu festival and it was exquisite!



I hope you guys have a great weekend.

Take care xx

The young Victoria

I watched this weekend the historic drama 'The young Victoria' and absolutely loved it. Those of you who haven't watched it yet, do so. It's a different love story than the usual chick flicks and the romantic comedies one finds these days. You won't be sorry.


I may be a hopeless romantic but Sinead O'Connor's "Only you" song is absolutely stunning. 
I can't seem to stop listening to it. :)

Latura cool a iederei

Intotdeauna mi-au placut casele, zidurile, gardurile, podeturile etc. acoperite cu iedera. Am impresia ca parca ar fi scoase din cartile cu basme, basca faptul transforma orice casa nerenovata intr-o oaza de oxigen pe verticala cu aspect simpatic. Asa ca enjoy :)
