her eyes . . .

my mother and little me, drawn by my father
Fotopoulos 1995

There aren’t too many eyes in this world that speak a language as delicate as our Mothers. We need to remember that when listening to the rest of the world. Take a moment every day, to go back to that place of comfort, to say hello and “I love you” to your Mom. No matter where she is; she will hear you. - MF

define me

I see myself differently, because,
when I look at myself - I see my scars,
my stories, my flaws and secrets.
you see the very least.

I don't care what anyone says.
- Lindsay Lohan

live your way

"Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the question now. Perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

a little girls dream

"There are many kinds of joy,
but they all lead to one:
the joy to be loved.
Never-ending Story"
― Michael Ende

2013 - hello, welcome.

 

Happy New Year to everyone. May the troubles of 2012 lead you to your lessons and rewards of 2013, and may your beautiful moments of last year continue on throughout the new year. It is our future we’re living now, and we have no choice but to take extra care of ourselves and those we love. It’s time to think about what we need to do to keep our earth healthy and happy. It all starts with a smile and a step, and goes a long way. I know I have a few resolutions in mind; some of which will be easy to follow and others that will be a challenge. Staying focused and projecting positivity is key. Let us not get wrapped up in the spoiled minds our society continues to push among us. We need to live like we’re little & love like we’re big. Cheers! XO - MF
