I thank each and everyone of you
from the bottom of my heart.
May you always have a smile on your face
and a song in your heart.
Until then.... take good care.
Love and Light

Alice in Wonderland





Alice in Wonderland was written by Lewis Carroll almost 150 years ago in 1865.

I am late, I am late, I am late for an important date. No time to say hello. Goodbye, I am late, I am late, I am late!

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?
“Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.”

Alice: I’ve had nothing yet, so I can’t take more.
Mad Hatter: You mean you can’t take less; it’s very easy to take more than nothing.

My life lesson today


People_on_the_street_of_Paris1

What I saw on the street of Champ Elysee today reminded me to be grateful for life's blessings. I met a gypsy asking for water so that she can have her medication. I have been warned about gypsies begging in the streets of the French capital but in the case of this old woman.....I could not walk away especially knowing what my father said before he died, "If a man is 'dying' and asks for water to quench his thirst, never hold back to share the gift of living water".


There is a light in this world,

a healing spirit

more powerful than any darkness we may encounter.

We sometime lose sight of this force

when there is suffering, and too much pain.

Then suddenly,

the spirit will emerge

through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call

and answer in extraordinary ways.


Mother Teresa
