Happy Thanksgiving

Just wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

Enjoy and cherish every moment.

Have a wonderful Holiday everyone!

If you have the time ALL for YOURSELF, what will you do?

Have you ever heard of the song, “Que sera sera?”

When I was just a little girl, I used to sing this song a lot!
This probably was the first song I sang!

So this week, as I went trick or treating with my 8yo, who is now sick with swine flu,
 the view of our block reminded me of something I’ve always dreamed of…

I just love nature! I would love to just capture its beauty or its rage with paintbrush!

'

So as the song goes,

          When I was just a little girl
           I asked my mother, what will I be
           Will I be pretty, will I be rich
           Here's what she said to me.

            Que Sera, Sera,
            Whatever will be, will be
            The future's not ours, to see
            Que Sera, Sera

             What will be, will be.


So this week, my question to you is:

“If you have one week or one moment to do whatever you want – for YOU,
  Not for your kids, not for your husband or for your family
  BUT for YOU…what would like to be doing in that moment?



PS:  My 8yo only has a mild case of the swine flu (thank G-d).
      He’s still doing is handstand every moment he gets!

Guilty!

WHO are we if we don’t have friends and family?
WHERE will we be if love is conditional?
WHAT will our life be if we don’t have faith?

Today I woke up sad deep inside ..

Why you might ask?

Well,
Four years ago on this day, my life and the lives of my family have been changed forever!
Four years ago on this day, I thought the sun will never rise again;
Four years ago on this day, I thought there’s no light at the end of the tunnel;
Four years ago on this day, I thought G-d has abandoned us…

Hours,

Days,
Weeks,
Months,
Years have passed and that day - October 27, 2005,

That day is just a reminder of how strong my family’s love for one another is;
That day is just a reminder of how faith in G-d will help you get through any challenges;
That day is just a reminder that every day we make choices;
That day is just a reminder that our attitude in life takes us to where we want to be;
That day is just a reminder that maybe things do happen for a reason.

Just like how SEASONS do change, our lives do change so we can be better...
So remember, obstacles are just opportunities waiting to be unraveled.

If you’ve been following this blog, you know that I have been busy completing the first draft of my book.
I’m way past the deadline because “Life happens…”

I’m almost there and would love to thank all of you for being so supportive and so patient with me.
Thank you for being on my side even when I’m not around...
