Once In A Blue Moon

Featuring
SNEAK PEEK


"One day 
we will talk about how our blue moon wish came true.
How, 
when the universe finally released the pins that held us so remote, 
we did not fall, 
suddenly and all at once, 
but rather drifted toward each other 
with the whimsical grace of dandelion clocks."
-Amanda Torroni

Dear readers, I put together this post to celebrate today's Blue Moon. But what exactly is a Blue Moon?
I sure didn't know and most of the people that I asked didn't know either. A Blue Moon occurs when
there are two full moons in one calendar month, the second full moon in a month is often called a Blue Moon.

"My dear,
In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible LOVE.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible SMILE.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible CALM.
I realized, through it all, that...
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me HAPPY.
For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me,
within me,
there's something stronger-
something better,
pushing right back."
- Albert Camus


As soon as I saw !gO!'s new release I got so excited. It immediately reminded me of my "Mori Girl"
Pinterest board that I love so much. But what is a Mori Girl/Fashion/Style? Here's a definition I found for you...

"Mori Girl fashion recently emerged in 2007 in Japan.
Mori means "forest" in Japanese, and the style concept is "a girl who looks like she is living in the forest",
the look is natural & earthy. The fiction archetype was declared as being the character of Hagu from Honey 
& Clover. The actual archetype of Mori fashion is the actress Yu Aoi, who as a matter of fact played Hagu
in the Honey & Clover movie in 2006. Mori girl has developed not only as a style but as a lifestyle as well!
Quirky girls who love vintage clothing, pocket watches, tea, moss, or going snooping in the grandma's attic
will feel right at home in this fashion style."
-SOURCE

Mori girl reminds me so much of Laura Ingalls Wilder...

My Favorite Dreams

Featuring
SNOWPAWS


"BELIEVE
in the
BEAUTY of your DREAMS... "
- Found on Instagram.com

I remember that when I was younger I used to dream all the time.
But for some reason that stopped some years ago
unless I am still dreaming every night and I just don't remember. 
However, the few dreams I was having lately
(or remembering in that case) were not very good ones. 
They were mostly about dark skies, dead silence, strong
winds and my struggles to save my grandma's caged birds.

But these past few days my dreams have taken a turn in a brighter direction.
I've been dreaming about hot air balloons,
oceans of metallic silver that sparkle like diamonds, and old friends. 
Yes, I've been dreaming about some of my childhood friends 
and I wake up with a smile.
 I get to relive my childhood again through my dreams 
and feel the wonder and magic of a youthful heart. 

Thank God for the gift of these beautiful dreams which are some of my favorite things.

Thanks for reading!

Hate Boredom

Featuring
HELLO TUESDAY


A Quote By
- Charlotte Erikson

"See,
my aim is not to survive
but to be thrown to the wolfs
with adrenaline still pumping in my veins
and hear the gods laughing saying,
"That was one hell of a youth"
and everything I do I do in order to push my senses
and levels of natural ecstasy.
I want to be so awake that I pass out
by exhaustion every night with a smile on my face
and no thoughts of tomorrow
because today was all I ever could make of it
and I am sick and tired of boredom.
Bored people slumbering boring words about bored habits
and I want to get out."

The Raven

Featuring
MAAI & COSMOPOLITAN BI-WEEKLY EVENT


The Raven
By Edgar Allan Poe

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-
While I nodded, nearly napping suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
Only this and nothing more."

An Answer From Heaven

Featuring
AZUL by MAMI JEWELL


This post is dedicated to the memory of my brother. There is not a day that goes by that I don't
remember him, but lately, for some reason, I've been thinking of him even more. I miss him
and love him just as much as the day he left us. My brother suffered severe depression.



If you suffer from depression and/or have suicidal thoughts, please seek help. 
You are not alone. There are people waiting to help you.


THE SNOW
Coming out from midnight mass from the small church that is across from my home
 on that December 25, 2004 night, we were all greeted by a soft rain of sparkling snowflakes
softly falling over all of us. You can just imagine the excitement of all the faithful parishioners
that had been attending the house of the Lord to receive the birth of our baby Jesus.
For many of us, it was the first snow that our eyes had ever seen. We all gathered and looked up
to the sky in disbelief and shouts of "It is Beautiful!" could be heard all around. No one seemed
to want to leave and missed such wonderful gift from God... the snow!

Early the next morning, I woke up eager to see how it looked outside. I ran as quickly as my legs
allowed it and opened my curtains to the front window to look at the park across the street. 
What my eyes saw that morning was a beautiful scene. It looked like something that came from a
Thomas Kinkade painting. A white layer of sparkling snow covered all the land making it look
beautifully pure, as if Heaven had visited us and decided to stay with us for a while.

My children and I ran outside eager to touch the snow that we didn't care to wear coats
and winter caps. I was so amazed by so much white beauty. I had never seen or touched snow
in my life and I couldn't contain my joy. Soon my dear brother came to visit and together we enjoyed
this wonderful snow that unfortunately only lasted us a day. 
But I still remember my brother's smile and the excitement in his words and face 
every time he would look outside as if to make sure the snow had not gone anywhere.

BAD NEWS
January 24, 2005, late in the afternoon, there is a knock at my front door. 
Two very well-dressed men stood there bringing sad news...
My brother had tragically lost his life!

But how could that be, I had talked to him about the weather earlier that morning and he seemed OK.
"Why?... How can this be?" I kept asking myself.

The days that followed were the hardest and saddest days in my life. My dear brother was gone
and I would never be able to hear his voice, put my arms around him, and see his beautiful smile
ever again. I became quiet and tended to be away from everyone. I wanted to be alone
to remember him, to cry, to get angry, and to ask why this had happened?

After many sleepless nights of crying for my dear brother, I finally got the feeling of needing to
talk directly to him and ask him why he did what he did. Lying down on my bed and with my pillow
completely drowning in my tears I asked my dear brother...

"I miss you so much, why did you have to go? How can I ever smile again knowing how tragically
you left us? My dear brother, I ask that you try to find a way to let me know that you are OK, that you
finally have the peace you long for and that you are with our Lord. 
Please dear brother find a way to let me know this, any way you can... I love you...",
and then I finally went to sleep after many days of not sleeping.

THE MUSIC
About an hour later, I am awakened by soft music. It seemed to be coming from far, far away.
The melody was a sweet one like in an echo and I could hear someone, a man, singing.
I couldn't make the words he was singing but in his voice, I could sense peace. I got up and started
searching around in the darkness of my bedroom, every corner, everywhere, but I couldn't
find where it was coming from. It seemed to be coming from every direction. I ran and awakened my
family and asked them to listen....."ssssshhhh.... listen to the beautiful music",
but no one could hear it... only me.

Then I knew it, this was the sign, the message I had asked my brother to send me so
I would know he was in peace with our Lord and I could smile again.

Thanks for reading!

I remember my grandma's garden so well that if I close my eyes 
I can actually feel like a little girl again and being surrounded by my grandma's flowers, 
which she loved just as much as she loved all her birds. 
Now her garden wasn't big at all but it was the most beautiful in the world according
to my youthful eyes ;) It wasn't a secret garden either but more like a 
"come and sit with me my friend" garden. 
We had a long, old wooden bench against our one-room brick home facing her tiny garden
where we loved to sit every afternoon and watch the neighborhood kids walking by 
on the dirt road in front of our little home, or wait for the man that would deliver our water 
every three days by a horse-pulled cart. I loved every time our water would get delivered. 
We had four big barrels that my grandma paid a few pesos to get filled every week.
That water was precious to us. It was used for drinking, cooking, bathing, cleaning,
and watering my grandma's plants. I loved every time I would hear the delivery man's bell 
announcing he was coming. I could hear it from a block away and as the ring of the bell 
would get louder my excitement would increase. I knew that not only we would be getting 
lots of water but that the nice waterman would give me a big splash of it 
with the thick water hose once he was done. I always pretended to get scared 
and that I wanted to get away, but who was I fooling, I had the biggest smile from ear to ear 
as I would be screaming "No, no!" and raising my arms and dancing in a circle.

Flutterby … 4

One day he not only delivered our water but brought a gift for me, a small turtle. 
He had found it on the road that day and thought I might like it and of
course, I did, I loved it actually! I never gave my pet turtle a name but I did paint her shell 
with my grandma's help, in different colors with my mother's nail polishes. 
My little turtle looked as beautiful and colorful as the flowers in my
grandma's garden which was her new home now. 

From that day on, it was my grandma, me, and our baby turtle sitting every day 
in my grandma's garden waving at people pass by and waiting for the nice waterman to come by.

Thanks for reading!

After the first touch of his lips
fire leaped up and roared through my belly.
My fingers yanked him close,
digging into his back,
and his arms crushed me to him
as if wanting to melt us together.
I knotted my fingers in his hair
and bit down on his bottom lip,
making him groan.
His lips parted,
and my tongue swept in to dance with his...
