Flying with a grandchild

Tuesday, June 4th, 2013

My parents arrived today for a week of sun, fun and relaxing at my place. 😉 It was a pretty special flight as they took Misha with them, their first time flying with a little one! Needles to say, all went well…an angel is an angel eh? 😉

Misha entertained us on the way back from the airport by making the correct sounds that go with the animals we told him; horse, cat, cow, lion, dog, pig, chicken…he is GOOD at this game! 😉 An intensive day for him, he hardly didn’t sleep, so went relatively early to bed and has been vast asleep since! Tomorrow it’s kindergarten day, the picture below was taken there by a professional photographer some weeks ago…SWEETTT!!

Whoopi Goldberg: “We’re here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark.”

Sugar: “You don’t have to get a job that makes others feel comfortable about what they perceive as your success. You don’t have to explain what you plan to do with your life. You don’t have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don’t have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to do any of those things has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts.
You have to pay your own electric bill. You have to be kind. You have to give it all you got. You have to find people who love you truly and love them back with the same truth.
But that’s all.”

Finding your way

Sunday, June 2nd, 2013

Nowadays there is hardly any excuse for people to be lost; technological advancements such as GPS used in navigation systems and smart phones enable ‘us’ to find our way wherever we are. At the same moment it seems as if more people are lost then ever; lost in an era of information overload, social media stress (always be ‘on’ and responding), having a hard time determining who they really are and where they stand in all of this. I assume that this is one of the reasons that personal awareness is becoming so much more relevant and that the books of Anastasia for instance are so appealing to many; these books show an opposite way of living, back to nature, bringing back a balance for people to realize they have a choice, *their* choice, in deciding how to live their lives.

If only ‘those who decide in this world’ (or at least, think they do 😉 ) would be open for such a change and transformation…

Rubik’s optical illusion

Saturday, June 1st, 2013

Check out this optical illusion, and find the catch before it is shown! You know upfront that something isn’t quite right, yet it takes a while before you understand what it is, nicely done!

Hehe, this one is *very* easy to solve in 25 moves (or 9.18s 😉 ). 😉
