Word Porn....that's what they're saying these days right?

Idk if i'll ever pick up that habit....however my cousin posted this on facebook and Oh Mylanta! I just thought it was the best thing i'd heard all day....

It's just what I needed to see. I need to find out who said this!

Yours,

What if?......; -)

It's My Party

I have heard this song in so many different ways and so many different times; and on many of those occasions I have been known to roll my eyes and sigh très très loudly. However I, quite by accident of course, have found a version that speaks to me (ahahahahaha). C'est magnifique!

My favourite part is "I put ma best dress on. Overpriiiiiiiiccccceeeddddd......" On the same note.....Icona Pop is kinda awesome. I never knew till now!! 

Yours,

It's my party......; -)

More Words.....

I came across this gem because a friend shared it on Facebook from the "Word Porn" page. It spoke to me on soooooooo many levels. The language is beautiful. The way it is written, organised, put together....EVERYTHING!

"You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are what you take from these. You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner. You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and let the colours fill your mind."

How gorgeous is that? I need to find who wrote this, so I can discover more of their work. This is too good. It's almost Oscar Wilde-esque.....almost. This also says to me, be careful what you take in. If you subscribe to the belief put forth above, then what you see, hear and experience will most inevitably become who you are. So it is probably wise to abandon all negative and bad behaviours. Embrace the positive and all the good experiences in life! Also, you and no one else has the ability to decide who you become in life. You have that power within your grasp. DO NOT give it away!

Yours,

"Let the words run through your veins and let the colours fill your mind...... : -)

Oscar Wilde on Debt

While re-reading (or listening rather since it was an audio-book) "A Woman of No Importance" the other day......

LADY STUTFIELD: [To Lord Alfred] How very, very charming those gold tipped cigarettes of yours are, Lord Alfred.

LORD ALFRED: They are awfully expensive. I can only afford them when I'm in debt.

LADY STUTFIELD: It must be terribly, terribly distressing to be in debt.

LORD ALFRED: One must have some occupation nowadays. If I hadn't my debts I shouldn't have anything to think about. All the chaps I know are in debt.

LADY STUTFIELD: But don't the people to whom you owe the money give you a great, great deal of annoyance?

LORD ALFRED: Oh, no, they write; I don't.

This, is one of the many reasons I love Oscar Wilde.

Indebtedly Yours,

Desiderata

Desiderata is latin for "desired things." It was written by American poet Max Ehrmann. These are good words. I discovered them at the hospital one day while I was on my Paediatric rotation. It was posted to the back of the door in the ECG room. Not quite sure what it has to do with ECG's specifically. Most likely nothing. The person who posted it there perhaps thought that it was a good reminder of how one should seek to live their life on a daily basis.

It was the first line that caught me. It--quite frankly--seems to be the only line I remember regularly. I find myself repeating it when I become upset, angry, or find my anxiety rising for whatever annoyance that sees fit to present itself to me at that moment. It helps.

"...remember what peace there may be in silence." It is difficult these days to just sit and be. I find it difficult. This may just be the best phrase in the whole poem. I believe that peace can be found in silence. Now if only I could get there......

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals;

and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.

Especially, do not feign affection.

Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,

and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

Yours,

Peacefully.... : -)

There's Kate for that.....

So by now EVERYBODY should know about my ridiculous love for Kate Spade. Ridiculous, because it can't be anything but. So I saw a link to pictures of their 2014 Spring/Summer collection which was presented at fashion week. Of course, I jumped (if not threw myself) down the rabbit hole, and 2 score years and 20 hrs later-aka 2 hrs-I ended up on the Kate Spade "Home" page (not their home page but their HOME page, with things for the home!) And boy, do these people know how to make you spend money. As in, I could spend $200 dollars easy on things I DO NOT NEED, but are to die for...(if not because it's Kate Spade then at least because it's silver!!).

Do I have a home? NO! Do I need these things?! NO! Do I want them tres tres badly?! Mais oui!! (But in all fairness, the things I posted here, don't necessitate a home......so the purchase would be legit yeah? Just work with me.......)

I just started a business. So I figure I need a business card holder. Yeah?! 

There's Kate for that......

Whenever life gets rough, I may need a nudge in the right DIErection (get it?! lol) but guess what?!

There's Kate for that.......

Just in case my brother or father forgets their left from their right guess what?!

There's Kate for that.......

Everybody needs a paperweight that looks like a clothespin. Forget all the colourful ones she has on the website because.....?!

There's Kate for that.......

And why wouldn't you want your kids to step out in style. Show off to all their friends with their cool new toy, because who doesn't need an expensive yo yo...(why was this in Home section again? OH! Right....odds and ends :-/ )

There's Kate for that.......

They should call me for marketing i'm convinced. I'd be good right?!

Yours,

Googly eyed and in love....... : -)
