day 24 - a song that you want to play at your funeral

Hola my darlings ;)
it´s thursday and the weekend is sooooo close!
Finally, can´t wait!!! And it´s gonna be a sunny one here. Spring has finally arrived!
T-shirt time... and time to clean closet awww.... send sweaters into their beauty sleep.
Gosh i should be doing that and not sit here online lol. ya ya i hear you ;)

todays challenge hmmm well.... i havent even thought about that... and i refuse at this time to do so...i will skip today. hope u can forgive me.... the only song i can associate with a funeral right now is "Bye bye Baby" from the fab movie "Actually love". I think the Bay city rollers sing it? (ignoring the wonderful song we played at my moms funeral which i still cant listen to :(((( )

Escape the shoulds and making yourself wrong

Darlings,
today i wanna share something with u i watched a few weeks ago.
a vlog by the wonderful inspiring Tricia !
Her tweets lift me up everyday and she is such an inspiring wonderful human being!
Making urself wrong, is guilt. its disempowering. shoulds should dissapear from ur vocabulary.
did i just use it? lol hahaha i am still learning.
but its in the meaning in.. i should do it... u should do it... we should do it....
why not change it to WANT? its something i try to live by right now.
looking at this video quite often.... i want to look at this video!! and i want YOU to watch it too!
its your life... make the decisions u want to! u only live once;)



you are allowed to watch this and u are allowed to make ur life better! spread some love!

day 23 - a song that you want to play at your wedding

hello my darlings,
how is everyone? i am still trying hard to hold on and stay sane... its better now though.. but still a lot ahead of me... and todays challenge ... oh my.... first of all Jasons song "this is what our love looks like " will be played... i know my man will yell NOOOOO lol but hey.... I am the bride and i WANT that song!!!

I live every moment to say
How much I love this day
There are no obstacles in our way
No mountains to climb

Everything that I look at is a blessing
Carrying us to build our very strengths
There’s no accidents there’s only what ifs
Go on and ask me then who I am

I have come to be the one to stand beside you when the sun decides to bow its head
I’ve come to be your friend
I’ll share with you my secrets til there’s nothing left to hide
And when you feel the darkness I’ll remind you of the light you have inside
This is what our love looks like

There isn’t one part of me
That doesn’t love one part of you
I’ll never knock the things that you do
If I did you would stop my being so rude
I know you will and so…

]

I have come to be the one to stand beside you when the sun decides to bow its head
I’ve come to be your friend
I’ll share with you my water so your well is never dry
And when you’re feeling empty I’ll remind you of the life you have inside
This is what our love looks like

I let every moment say
How much I love this day
No “buts” about it
It don’t matter if it’s cloudy

I have come to be the one to stand beside you when the sun decides to bow its head
I’ve come to be your friend
I’ll share with you my secrets til there’s nothing left to hide
And when you feel the darkness I’ll remind you of the light you have inside
This is what our love looks like

I’ll be the one to stand beside you should your money run out til its end
I’ll always be your friend
I’ll share with you my water so your well is never dry
And when you’re feeling empty I’ll remind you of the life you have inside
This is what our love looks like

day 22 - a song that you listen to when you’re sad

well since i am sad since a few days... in a lot of tears this is easy for me... calm down.... deep breaths... and get yourself dressed instead.... of running around and pulling on your threads and breaking yourself up..

day 19 - a song from your favorite album

Hello my darlings !
Still glued to the tv... the bad  news dont get less... now this nuclear threat! It´s so terrible!
It will affect the Japanese and then all of us!
And the fault lies by the big big big group of companies who are too greedy !!
those Nuclear lobbyists are too powerful :(
We could have all green energy and that at a good price if they would let us.
But money is worth more than humankind nowadays.

Now to todays challenge.... a song from my fave album... well that album is
We sing, We dance, We steal things from Jason Mraz

there are wonderful songs on it like Lucky, Live high, Butterfly and many more.
I chose "if it kills me" from that album....this is the version that is on the album... liveversion from the studio... u can enjoy his voice and emotions very clearly....




and dont forget to send prayers and love to all the people in japan who are in danger !

with love, Ines

but hey... u all can stand under my umbrella anytime if u need to ;)

You can run into my arms
It's OK don't be alarmed
Come here to me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more.......

Japan ... how terrible

Hello my darlings,
how terrible seeing all the pics and vids coming out of japan.... glued to tv and pc since ystd.
cant even begin to imagine how people are feeling. its been said over and over that if a country is ready for an earthquake then its japan... but this is just far more that they ever expected.
as i saw live pics of the water mixed with debree rolling through cities, streets and fields i cried.
and today the nuclear threat is the main topic.
i am 38 and i lived through probably 2 nuclear super gaus.that is something i never achieved to see.
watching news right as i type and i still cant believe what i am seeing.
all our prayer and thought and energy go out to the japanese people.

day 15 - a song that describes you

You've got the best of both worlds

You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,

And lift him back up again

You are strong but you're needy,

Humble but you're greedy

And based on your body language,

And shoddy cursive I've been reading

Your style is quite selective,

though your mind is rather reckless

Well I guess it just suggests

that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is

It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write

Kind of turn themselves into knives

And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction

But I like being submerged in your contradictions, dear

'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice

Your comebacks ‒ they're quick

And probably have to do with your insecurities

There's no shame in being crazy,

Depending on how you take these

Words that paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess, yes it is

It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say

Kind of turn themselves into blades

And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard

But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt

'Cause here, here we are, here we are

Here we are [x7]

We're still here

What a beautiful mess this is

It's like taking a guess when the only answer is "Yes"

Through timeless words and priceless pictures

We'll fly like birds not of this earth

And tides ‒ they turn ‒ and hearts disfigure

But that's no concern when we're wounded together

And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts

But it's nice today. Oh, the wait was so worth it.

day 05 - a song that reminds you of someone

this song reminds me of a person who played a big part in my life many years ago. he was a weak man with lots of faults. and i tried my best to get him on the right path. my love got him through a few years but we were just too far apart and too many people had influenced him. in particular one very evil one. well... i hope he is happy now wherever he is in his life. he deserves happiness . and i hope he doesnt screw it up again . he hurt me very bad but that seems so long ago. like in another life. he sang this song to me on the phone. i cried at the time... it was so sweet and i  knew he meant every word. i hope u are happy wherever u are Scotty! 

I'm not a perfect person

There's many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with everyday

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is You

and the reason is You [x3]

I'm not a perfect person

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you 

with love, Ines
