Hello Mr. Sun! Hello Spring time! Hello blue sky! Hello birds! Hello flowers! (Especially Japanese Blossom trees!)
Once at home I searched for the song and here again I played "Here comes the Sun" in my bedroom. Yes, I like some songs of the Beatles not all but some of them. This picture is so nice! I don't know where they are but I like it and Paul McCartney walking naked feet in the street, I thought it was so original! (You want to see me dancing that song? Not difficult at all! Lol!)
Yes! Bye Mr. Winter! You don't know how happy I am no more snow for the moment. The cold weather is not too good for me. I got sick twice within two months stuck in my bed. Once I thought it was so bad I could not make anything to eat or go to the pharmacy. I prayed and I had to call a close friend of mine to come to help me. He was so nice! He went to the pharmacy for me and made me a hot cocoa the way I like and something to eat. I am so thankful for that. Then, He made sure I was fine and he left (yep...that is the sad part of being single but...it's ok because I got better few days later Thanks God!)
Whenever I am sick I understand how being healthy means. O! No I don't want to take good health for granted. I bless God whenever I can: When I walk and do my own stuff I am grateful. I can see, I can jump I can listen to music. It's good to be alive!
I remember years ago I don't recall when exactly I was sleeping to relax a little bit. It was an afternoon and I heard a little voice singing down the building. It was a little girl in the park and she kept saying a part of the song that I like (Celine Dion "I am Alive") She kept repeating this part: I am alive. Then I thought "Yes and it's good to be! It's good to know!" when I opened the windows to see the little girl singing I could not because she was under the trees I could just see her little feet running around. Well, the day after I bought that complete album CD of that song (Celine Dion is one of my favorite female singers) because I was thankful to realize the meaning of the lyrics. (Thank you little girl!)
Last time I listened to Dr. Munroe saying something important and I got so touched. He said that it is not about the length of life that we have but the quality of life. I try to explain it the simple way I can: You can have a long life and not be productive at all. However, you can have a short life and you can be really productive. I was thinking about that young man who died in 1990 He died at an early age. Ryan White did a great thing before he died and what he said touched me. Ryan White that MJ sang "Gone Too Soon" I really like what He said in the TV show and we are still dealing with the same issues today... It's amazing to hear such a young man being wise. He did not live long but what he left is so amazing! The Ryan White Care Act it helps many today. I am not sure he saw it before he died. Such a great young man! If You want to see the video here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGX7iUS9hzI .
His story made me think and I tried to read more about that young man. His mother was recently on TV to talk about the Ryan White Foundation. At the end, I realized these words that Dr. Munroe said it is not about the length it's about the quality of life and what we ought to bring to people or have brought to them. Your talent and your gift are supposed to change others' lives but always remember that we cannot compare somebody else success to ours. In term of success, we are all different. Thanks God our stories are all different right? (I just want to add something between: "Women do not compare your men or husbands to another man...This is Not Good at all! Just be the women who give the words of encouragement and who care and love")
I believe that Life and Love are the two best things given by God and I am so thankful. This world would be horrible without Love. Thanks God there are still amazing and loving people around us. When I talk about Love it's the one that is presented in my Holy Bible:" Love forgives, Love supports Love does this and that. This is the real Love. It's in the book of Galatians 5;22 and the book of 1 Corinthians13; 4-7 The greatest Love of all.
Anyway! Back to my springtime. It's so good it's not cold anymore. Hello Good time! Hello nice weather! Hello sunshine! Hello to the squirrels with different furs and running everywhere and digging I don't know what really but it's cute to see. Bye winter for the moment! I need a little bit of sun in my life!
The weekend was great! I like to chill at home and listen to music and reading magazines as usual. Yes! That's so me! I share with you one of my favorite songs of The Supremes "Someday" I love the lyrics. Sorry I didn't put the entire song I did it on purpose but if you want to listen to all the song; "Someday" we Will be together" (nice words of hope and love) you can click here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXGz8i0I2L0 (Diana Ross & The Supremes) The Supremes was a great Female group and are still... Best vocals ever!
Chilling at home I was listening to that song that I love so much! (By the way I have a post that I write as a tribute to Diana Ross. I like this lady! If you are interested to read here is the link: http://patacolorcarnet.blogspot.com/2014/11/diana.html when you have time)
I was thinking I want to show you Dallas! Yes! Dallas that nice city in Texas where I live. I think I should do a post so that you will visit the city through my blog with me. I will take you to JFK Memorial, Rosa Parks Square etc. You will love Dallas for sure! I love Dallas! There is a special restaurant in a ball above the city and it has nice lights at night. Come to visit us sometimes and see our basket ball team the Mavericks! Ok! ok some people do not like the Mavericks but what about Dallas Cowboys then? Ok! I will do something like that when I have time. Such a good idea I am already excited!
This is a nice quote of Mother Teresa that I want to share. I found it so interesting, inspiring and real. Take a time to read it when you can and think about what she says:
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
That is So true Mother Teresa! these are the best words ever!
I wanted to share some other things again. You know I share to people what I find or discover. I like it! Remember I am "Miss Candles" and I always say that a house with no candles is a little bit boring. So these are the new candles that I got:
From Bath and Body Works : The Relax, The Eucalyptus Mint and the Brazilian Waters. They smell so Good!!
Lush is a store that sells only natural products and I am into organic and natural things these past few years and I got: a skin conditioner and two shower gel. I like them all! I didn't know about body conditioner I was curious to try and I must say I love it! The body conditioner smells like strawberries! The lady at the store was so nice and she gave me to try the carrot soap sample and the banana body cream sample... I will definitely go back there.
Since it is spring time I thought I could change my perfume so I have this one from Lancôme, Tresor.(I like Lancôme!) Who is the tresor? Me! (Smiling) I like the container or bottle it is so fancy and nice. I thought it looks like my personality and it smells really good! Not too strong but fresh and simple.
I got a new book too! By the way I am still reading the other ones but I was thinking should I really write a review? Because I am not that good in English yet and I do not want to put the wrong words. What I think I should do it's to simply share some parts that have changed something on the way I used to understand certain things.
Something else guys! I recently discovered this group online! The name is Rooftop Salsa Dance. It's probably recent because I have never heard about them before. Yes! That's what I like! This is good for Summer time! They are in Johannesburg/South Africa and they organize some dances. It's about salsa dances and songs from Africa and Latin America. I like group dances because you do not feel like you are the one who do not know how to dance and everybody can be happy at the same time. What I read is they are in an area of Johannesburg named Mellville. I know this area is safe because I used to live not far from there.
So much fun guys! After watching their videos and visiting their website, it made me want to go there like really just spend good time no excess but just good time! I hope I will be able to do it someday. What I understand is they meet they dance and they can invite some salsa artists as well. See? In Africa we know how to have fun too (wink!)
In that video they dance a song of an African singer from Nigeria or Ghana his name is Flavour
The song that they dance in the second video is from Michel Telo "Pego" I think Michel Telo is from Brazil and I remember I heard his song for the first time on TV during the World Cup of soccer in Brazil. Yes, he sings in Portuguese. I liked the song right away! Maybe you remember that song too. Awww! I simply love watching this video! You can tell they had so much fun! Life is Good!!
Check it out!
Now that I am done for tonight I was thinking about sharing something special with you again.
Guys please take a time to watch this nice performance when you will have time. I don't know if you like Andre Rieu? Me, I do and I know many people do too. I think Andre Rieu is from Germany right? If by chance he performs in your city DO NOT hesitate to buy a ticket to go to see him! You will not be disappointed at all! I wish he could come to Dallas too. That man is wonderful so talented and you can tell he has a Good Heart! I like people with good heart because what they do always bring joy in people's lives. His music has healed many people (Medical condition you know what I mean).
I love Music I mean Good music and I have always said that I grew up with music and I dream to have children who can play at least one music instrument. Imagine a house with kids playing piano, or flutes or violin, or drums etc. That's a house of love! I always thank God for talents in the world and Music in general. Life with no music it's boring!
In fact, I discovered Andre Rieu with my brother. The first time he shared to me his performances "I melt" like an ice cream. I love what he does. If you want to feel relaxed at home take a time to watch his performances that he did around the world they are on internet and some videos are in youtube.com as well. He is really good, he is talented and funny he likes to make people laugh. He and his orchestra travel a lot around the world and he meets many other different artists from different countries.
In that presentation he invited a choir of children from Cape town/ South Africa to play with him and his amazing orchestra. They also sang "Pata Pata" a famous song of Miriam Makeba released in 1967. Yes, every Africans know Pata Pata song it's actually a dance from Johannesburg. They also sang this famous song "The Lion Sleep Tonight". I literally fell in love with that presentation or performance. To me Music is Everything! I love my African culture for real!
I hope you like it! so Live in Maastricht from Netherlands watch that beautiful performance. Thank you for passing by! Have a great week!
