From bummed to better

Yay! I am back on my feet my people.

I was really feeling foggy and down. Guess what I did? I did everything as normal but took extra time in solitude. I got in touch with myself, reviewed my goals, thought about ugly Betty, my family, my friends, I THOUGHT ABOUT THE BIGGER PICTURE. I worked extra hard and did those things I sometimes dread to do. Oh I missed my belly dancing!!!!!No regret though, nobody would have liked to see  me with a  gloomy face trying to dance what I don't know off. I put up my pictures to share my extraordinary moments with you. I am just an ordinary person forging out my ordinary life, it may be extraordinary now and then but at the end we all get back to normal-but I do it in an extraordinary way. I do it the Rosabelle way, in my own style. Every piece of work I do is thus my very own portrait.

Find your style and live it!  *Don't be arrogant, just let yourself be at your best*


Radiating love to all of you...

Today

I am really experiencing the blues....

Loving me

If you need someone who can

•  love you completely 
• Admire all your aspects
• Understand you for you
• Spend any moment with you
• Just be there for you

First look in the mirror!

No matter what I hear or see, no matter who I hate to or love, no matter what I choose or discard ,one person I am always gonna end up with is ME.

No matter what the world say to me,whether they pat me on the shoulder or look at me through  sides of  their eyes,there is one judge I will never miss, that judge is ME.

It is when I am in love with  myself that I do not care whether you love me or not. I do my fellows good out of an abundant heart, expecting nothing in return.

I live and let live!

It is only when I love myself completely that I can accept  anything out of me as out of my control, and find no need to manipulate another to do my will at my whim.

It is when I am so comfortable with myself that I can happily invite you into my life, to share all my wonderful aspects.

It is my primary duty to do first good to myself, how can I love you if I cannot love myself? 

Radiating love to all of you...

  

living now!

I decided to indulge in a divine piece of a cake with a friend. It was a joint decision! We ordered the cake and I started munching on it as soon as it was delivered-it was really nice. I was enjoying every bite of it until my friend started mumbling about the possibility of diabetes,gaining weight, where is self-control, and all of those facts that could make me feel like loathing myself.
She was right!
But wait a minute...she decided to have the cake with me, I was happy with my decision and enjoying every moment of it. My friend was failing to live in the moment and making me miserable!
We had ample time to make our decision and we did decide to have something sweet at the end,so....

*Think before you act, if you choose to be impulsive then be prepared to deal with it, every moment counts, it's either you use it or waste it, never again.*

Happiness

I went to the cinema to watch the coolest movie of the time, I came back feeling like something more.
I went to have ice cream to fill the void.
I called on my friends to comfort me.
I slept expecting to be shown some light, maybe in my dreams.

Nothing happened and the sadness prevailed.

I allowed myself to do something- call in my friends who needed me more, call my sister and ask how she was doing, expected the best and miracles in my own life.I did what i could in my state, sought more talents in my life, did many new things, one at a time.
I stopped advertising my problems as a burden and bore them all, they are always there from yesterdays. I noticed that writing them down meant that when I need to solve a  problem today I don't have to look much but turn a few pages back for my own advice- my own well of experience. It is the imperfections, the little things that we often  miss that can make us feel as unique and Real as we are.

If you feel sad-do something, not to remove the sadness but to shift your focus. If you love pity parties like some of us-write it down for some time later and use  your  emotional emergency kit (something simple, but you love and enjoy,to remind you that there is bliss right now )and focus on something else as small or as big as you like. Help someone who may need you more, use your smarts and talents. Seek help from people who can really help-not from your naturally lean friend when you want to lose weight(avoid advertising) but the one who lost some, that lady at the gym...

Secret: *Allow yourself to shift your focus and sooner or later your emotions will follow.*
          
Radiating love to all of you...

The diamond in our emotions.

Sometimes it just feels so hard.
Sometimes it feels too heavy.
Sometimes it feels like it will be impossible.
Sometimes it feels okay.
Sometimes it feels fine.
Sometimes it feels just like it is.


" But the only time your inner epicure will get out of hand and start pilaging chocolate shops and picking up travelling salesman is when you deny her until she cannot take it anymore."

You also have an inner chaperone to help you live successfully,showing you "peak experience" and "downhill from here"

The next time you feel unsure about what you really want-clouded by all these feelings, lie back and let your inner epicure and inner chaperone guide you. Trust yourself. you need no recipe on how to move your leg.

Radiating love to all of you....

Being My Own Lady

I am quite young, studying in the University of Cape Town. I learnt a few life lessons I wanna share with you my wonderful readers, but most importantly I am gonna learn from you also. Looking forward to a wonderful time with you,

"Your duty in life is to give-love, time , energy, your smarts and all your wonderful aspects, not to desire much. You are too good for anything less-to be a petitioner or a recipient
