Unleash the 'spectacular' within !!

  I sat there that moment

with a spark in my eyes

curious...confused... marveling

where my strength lies...

looking for a miracle

happening now ...happening here

a moment ...that is magical

and I looked and looked everywhere

every shadow... each star

every thorn... each flower

I looked... and ...searched

in the sun ...and in the shower

what made me different

I wondered

and in this quest for illumination

I surrendered

I sat there that moment

my heart ... still...

calm... and listening to each beat

I tried to look within

and then I found I am here

to live this 'now'

to let my radiance shine

 to be me... and to be a WOW :)

 If we practice spectacular long enough,spectacular 

will become our way of being.

...........Robin Sharma

Are you  wearing your invisible crown today ?

Always wear your invisible crown :)

Wear your virtues as a crown,

As you walk through life gently,

and with grace,think for yourself...aloud

you possess a beauty much more than queenly :)

In your eyes ... is heaven

in your heart...love and compassion

dance in your steps

and magic on your fingertips...

go placidly through noise and chaos

remember you are 'the gift'...

just be okay with "YOU"

and make of your life a gift :)

'glitter' is a color too...

... go love it

'sparkle' does ignite a spark 

...heart it :)

                                                                          

stand tall...                                                   

stand rooted...

unravel the you within...

you are blissfully amazing !!

Hey friends a butterfly has beautiful, scintillating wings...
but she has no idea...only those who see her...appreciate the magnificent beauty!!
In the same way you know not the beauty...the goodness...the brilliance...
that lies within you
but its there...you are special...you are unique...
and so celebrate your uniqueness...

and always wear your invisible crown :)

A cool one :)

“Life is like an ice cream cone, you have to lick it one day at a time. ” 

― Charles M. Schulz

There are moments in life that ice cream was invented for :)

Don't you think so ?

An ice cream is exquisite :)

and it does resemble life in lot many ways...

you need to lick it one day at a time...as quoted above !

lick it ...enjoy the coolness

lick it again...savour the flovour

lick it...mmmmm the texture

lick it...ooooooh the sweetness

and on the way

you might get some surprises...

nuts...

choco chips...

fruits...

sprinkles...

so take a bite... close your eyes...smile...

make a joyful sound...

and appreciate them all :)

At times you will feel

its melting too fast

you may lose control ...

...manage :)

let it drip all over you

feel ...the happiness :)

Go indulge yourself !!

Love lives on !

Here is a small story I recently read....

Pencil ✏: I'm sorry.

Eraser : For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

✏Pencil: I'm sorry, you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself and get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser: That's true, but I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this, I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong, even though one day I know I'll be gone. I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying I hate seeing you sad.

Our Parents are like the eraser...

and we children are the pencil. 

They're always there for us children, 

cleaning up our mistakes.

Along the way they get hurt

 and wear off...

but still they are always there

for us...

 No matter how old we get 
the abundance of their unconditional  love

  concern...

care ...

stays as it was
 when we were just born...

Now its our turn...

to give back...

we are the ones who have heard their heart beat from inside 

and now is the time to listen to the same heart from outside...

Lets give them more...

more of our time

more of our love

more care

more smiles
more hugs  

we always talk about making the world better for our kids
lets also act to make this world comfortable for our parents!!

This is an abstract work which I am doing for a dear friend of mine...

(it is really big)

what do you think I should call this painting?

Spring forward !

" I stuck my head out the window this morning

and spring kissed me bang in the face "

....Langston Hughes

As I look through my room

a cosmos of flowers

... in bright happy colors

smile at me ...and so my day begins...

every now and then

I am reminded of the flowers

I stop and smile

feel the colors around me

and again I smile

I can sense the scent

and I breathe deep

and I smile

I can feel the touch

soft, delicate

and again I smile

I see them swaying

on the tunes of gentle breeze

asking me not to walk...

but dance

for Spring is here

and I smile again:)

Are the birds chirping ...

has the spring sprung in your part of the world too?

Oh yes by the way did you see my Crocheted Art bus ??

Living out loud !!

This week I got the opportunity to board an Art Bus ...

Yes ...  that's right an Art Bus :)

This Art bus took us around the city , Dubai , and we had the rare opportunity

 to visit exhibitions at the independent art galleries 

and also to experience the annual art fair.

Accompanied by art guides the day-long tour was a chance 

to see art by international, regional and local artists 

while meeting like-minded people.

So today's post is all about this memorable day.
