June

Last night. A month of chaos, of change, heat, mixed feelings once again. It has been a while since I have time/peace to write. Wanted to wish you all a great start of July. Not my favourite month by far but at least a month to swim in the sea.
Make the best of it, my kids are the best of it now. Having messy icecream together, comminucating at higher levels with my 5 year old girl. Time sure flies. Yet I cannot say I am living my dream, can yo say that? I wish I could but so many things are far from what I wish for my life and the kids. We can't have it all, or can we?
No stars to see, no peace and silence, so why the move? not sure yet. I hope things will get better, I know there is a reason to everything in life. Every decision we make, it all affects our life's path.
I send a big hug to all of you, to my friends in CA, Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, MD, Spain and all around the world.
A smile to take it to your favourite place.
;D

highlights

of the day. At least we will always have that. Yesterday we had a gay parade here, loved watching it. Of course the 2 goals of Spain against France made me smile, feel proud. Today a powerful thunderstorm, heavy rain, wild winds, lovely smell, beautiful. My son saying 'mama cierra la puerta que se escapa el gato' funny!
missing you

Transition

excitement, emptiness, euphoria, stress, exhaustion, mixed feelings. New beginning? No, continuation but on a better mood I hope. Breath, relax, it is all going to be OK. You are there :) up in the stars, far into the horizon, floating in the water. Communication breakthrough?
May have a chance to see the Auroras Borealis this winter.
Have a wonderful summer night.

Music

inspirational, calms feelings, awakes others. Memories of the past that are present to hunt me and to make me grateful.
Almost summer, the sun rises near 6am and so do I. My heart is beating fast with the upcoming events. Yesterday I had to pause and had a yoga session that make me breath, think clear. Even though the rebel part of me does not think straight or does it? and the part of me that set things straight perhaps is not so. Always present my American part of me.
Buah! 'your simply the best'
Have a wonderful day. Here hot, sunny, dry, hairdryer air gusts.
Missing you CA.
Carolina

Heat

wave.... near 40C for the next 3 days.... and packing. Lots of icecream, ice, water. The time to rest will arrive soon. Euphoria, waiting for the cool breeze. Sometimes better not to think further, keep working.
:)
Have a great day!

hola

buenos dias to you :) just thinking of you and wishing you a great weekend.
lets soak up the sun... la la lalalala here, in Monterey Bay, SF, Spain, DC, Germany, all around.

Venus

amazingly beautiful, impressive event, the Transit of Venus 2012. For me it put things into perspective. The universe is grandiose, beyond us. Perhaps it would help to put our little/big issues into another dimension. Not complicated, simple, transparent, with character, bravery. Can we make it happen and appreciate what comes to us?

The simple things, clean air, view of the horizon, smell of flowers.
Have a wonderful day! look ahead.

Last

Night I contemplated the full moon over my bedroom's sky window. The last full moon I will view from here. I saw many of you there. It was peaceful, symmetric, full, blue and white and grey, some clouds around it, such beauty. And it was quiet, silence all around. This I will miss. Thessaloniki, new home, will have other moons but none like the ones from here.

I saw a great friend of mine at the Acropolis the other day. Such nice memories, nice times together. I know it won't be long before we meet again.

Off to start the day. Enjoy today because it's here and now.
 :)

Eat

fresh, organic when possible. But a little of the bad stuff does not hurt right? I think it even helps our system to get stronger. Love the colorful fruits and veggies. My favourite is papaya, Mexican papaya I must add, watermelon, avocados, red beets, peanut butter puffs from the kiosk.

Are our decisions final? feeling perhaps I have not made the right decision but now it is too late. Perhaps afraid of change... you can always go back... no not really. When a decision is done to go back it has consequences, usually tough ones.

Decided to stop reading the news for a few days at least... they make my stomach upside down.
How lucky we are.
See you in the moon, almost perfectly round.
Good night and a smile :D

Barcelona

Thoughts connect us, ideas, dreams, the stars.

Must say that at the end of the day, my children, their health, their little selves win.

Have a beautiful June night.
