She is amazing at describing love and life in her poems. She creates such beautiful images with her words. Truly, she is a talented writer and I’m so excited to have her poetry book and to continue reading through it.
On Thursday’s, I share pictures about ‘Echos of my Neighbourhood.
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple.
Every Thursday, share a photo of bits and pieces of wherever you are at any point in time. It could be a house, backgrounds of your neighbourhood, activities and so forth and you can tag it Echos of my Neighbourhood, add my link to your post so that I will get the ping from your post.
Every other Thursday, I will publish a post with the links of all those who participated the previous week.
This is just a fun way of getting to see more of the World around us through your eyes since we cannot all be at those places, we could, at least, see them through you.
I wonder how smooth these beauties drive.
Beautiful people
Dear Himself in a tete-a-tete.
A platter of this and that and good conversation washed down with date wine and Turkish coffee. Lovely evening 🙂
Milling around the food
Delicious 😉
Waiting and watching the children practice their Shotokan karate katas.
An enthusiastic sweet child 🙂
Watching the chef rustle up a meal on the go for me. Okay, I admit, I like food 🙂
Sizzling hot platter of pasta, shrimps, veggies, cheese and garlic bread. Yummy
Idling in traffic and watching the fountain change colour
Now the fountain is green
These are some bits and pieces of my past week, from taking children to Shotokan-karate classes, work, dinner blah, blah running helter-skelter, my wheel of life keeps rolling.
I absolutely love vintage and antique stuff. Unfortunately, I don’t have the pocket to afford them, but at least I can enjoy a good look at them, so it was a delight to run into this vintage cafe, where I can go and satisfy my eyes with eye-candy and take loads of photos 😉
I am happy that this week which has been so and so for me is coming to a close. My emotions hurtled from one end to the other all week, but a warm evening spent last night in the ambience of beautiful, intelligent friends does make one feel a lot better 🙂
We e-zoomed around various neighbourhoods on our laptops, pads, phones, and got a peek into what lovely folks are doing.
Giggles and tales: So much beauty of nature, people and fat gorgeous Cows and Geese. I like 🙂
Rosses of Donegal: absolutely gorgeous and dreamy views of Rosses area in County Donegal in North West Ireland.
Don’t horde the beauty of the life around you, just for yourself. Do share with us

The challenge is simple : find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.
I was rushing to meet someone and arrived a few minutes before our agreed time. When I looked at the clock that they had on the wall, I still had two minutes to sit down and catch my breath before stepping in for the chat.
As I sat there, I ruminated a bit on how this everyday gadget called ‘clock or watch,’ has become a trusted custodian of time. We rely on it in so many ways – sometimes annoying us when alarm shrieks to wake you up or when the time seems to run away too fast or go too slow dependent on one’s circumstance.

“Aging is not lost youth, but a new stage of opportunity and strength.” Betty Friedan
“Age is no barrier. It’s a limitation you put on your mind.” Jackie Joyner-Kersee
As you get older, you become a classic and viewed with respect. It’s inevitable that we all go through this process (hopefully) and it’s a blessing to live long.
Let’s remain young at heart even when our body ages in other places:-)

From the very first poem, “Dreams,” this book captivates with passionate and perceptive words. Jacqueline Oby-Ikocha captures a broad expanse of the human experience in this book of richly layered poems.
❤ The lovely handbook below, ‘Blessings from heaven,’ is a beautiful gift from Ann Hayes.
She’s a lovely friend of mine back in Houston. She surprised me with it at the George Bush International airport on the day we were leaving the US for our move to Dubai. I hadn’t expected to see her, nor the blessing of the book and I always keep it with the Rosary, a gift from my brother-in-law’s trip to Jerusalem.
Though these may seem like simple things, they speak of pure thoughtfulness and sweetness to me. I never forget such gestures.
❤ There’s nothing as sweet and as pure as a baby’s playful delight and gorgeousness. For me, it’s cuteness overloaded. It always gives my heart joy to watch their simple delight.
❤ Cute little puppies spell pure carefreeness and mischief to me 🙂

It was just interesting to watch the smile and gleam in the eyes of these gentlemen as they admired the ritzy, gleaming red, little ride.
I actually think this red ride is more my thing than theirs. I can see myself in a bigger version to accommodate my ampleness, with the roof down, my scarf and locks flying in the air as I nip about town 😉
Well, let’s keep that thought in my mind’s eye for now.

She looks gorgeous and in her own World 🙂

“We didn’t realise we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun.” unknown
“Childhood is the most beautiful of all life’s season.” unknown
When I watch children play, there’s a lightness that I feel witnessing their guileless laughter, chuckles and innocence. Most people’s treasured memories are the delightful memories of their childhood.
The childhood season is a short one, let’s make timeless treasured memories for our children.
