Happy summer (and Happy 1st Birthday Devour Beauty!)

via my Blackberry


And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.  

— F. Scott Fitzgerald

Green summer heat

Choosing a man

via Emeranie

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.

Have a little faith

‎Faith is a state of openness or trust. To have faith is like when you trust yourself to the water. You don’t grab hold of the water when you swim, because if you do you will become stiff and tight in the water, and sink. You have to relax, and the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging, and holding on. In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

Bursting with desire

 Venice Twilight via OilPaintings

Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It’s enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it.

- Claude Monet 

 


myPod: Glee rocking the mashup (again)



I just can't get enough of this.  Divine, divine, divine.  I love the Adele version of both songs obviously - but hearing them both together in mash-up, with a whole lot of emotion is super fun.  Santana and Mercedes rock this.  The Troubletones storyline is great for the music.

Dreams

"For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream."
-  Vincent Van Gogh

Bon Iver touching the classics


Incredible cover of an old school classic...I love the Nancy Wilson version.  Loving the heartbreaking piano intro here. 

Kiss me too fiercely


Listening to "As long as your mine" from Wicked sung by David Harris and Jemma Rix.  If you haven't heard it...here is the Broadway version sung by the amazing Idina Menzel.

I want a man, just so I can dress him





"Except in this ignorant and material century, men have always worn precious stuffs and beautiful colours as well as women."
