It's a new Year!!

It is a Thursday, the 3rd of a new Month, of the new Year 2013 (i.e.) "01-03-13"
From now on, we won't be seeing any 13-13 as it stopped at 12-12... I have written a small advice and a wish for this new year.

"Bring closer your loved ones, gather more positivity to your life, eliminate the negative vibes and whoever creates it, even if it means deleting people, habits, or jobs from your surroundings, be open to new ideas and new adventures, live it day by day as if it is your last on earth.

To a wonderful surprising year ahead!

Happy 2013!

Cheers!!

May you all enjoy those lovely holidays with your loved ones,

Love and Peace!"

Pour une année formidable à venir !

Joyeux 2013!

A votre Santé!

It's Christmas!

December 24, 2012, I was with the people I love, I was with my family celebrating a wonderful eve over dinner. With my 2.5 years old nephew putting Santa's hat and distributing the gifts, he looked so cute and was so happy playing the role of Santa.
We exchanged the gifts last night as today each is going his way to different cities, countries, to celebrate with the rest of the family abroad.

We all know what Christmas is, and what it symbolize, but, for a difference, I have decided to give it a new twist:

"Red, is the color of the heart, presents, are for all the magnificent life surprises, a tree, is for our lifetime, and a star, is our wish for a miracle.

My wish for you this Christmas is to embrace your loved ones, heal every person's heart, spirit and emotions, to build a roof upon each needy, bring them food, health, and warmth. For a miracle to bring peace over the world, to live in harmony together without any judgments, hatred, envyness and ego.

It is a holy night, make a wish for God, and through Santa, and under your tree, you will find it.

Merry Christmas!"

My September Sparkles

September for me this year held lots of nice adventures. It was the perfect way to move on from the beautiful hot summer getting into the Indian summer in my beloved Montreal.

Had a marvelous connection with everything around me, feeling the real belonging which developed inside me and crafted my contagious smile along with my positive energy which was felt by close persons surrounding me. 

My moments were to be envied for, and still are. Got inspired to write few of my beautiful quotes "in French":

Nous nous sommes retrouvés dans une même âme et même esprit, on est tombé amoureux avec l'énergie émouvante qui nous élève et enrichit notre vie -RH

October 3-2012

On s'est trouvé, attiré par une énergie magnifique qui nous a transformé notre vie, qui nous a amené ensemble pour découvrir un avenir exquis-RH

October 3-2012 

Adding to few others which I will share with you shortly below. 

Strange sometimes how the burst of feelings and passions come along, together, to be beautifully joined with another, living the real moments, where, that specific second, minute and hour freezes. Here is when I wrote this one:

My time freezes when I'm in your arms, your charm, your eyes, your sweet smile all together embrace me warmly-RH 

September 22 -2012

On another thought, keep in mind that the Universe, when calling it asking for guidance, for a wish, it replies, I personally have totally experienced it, specially that I am a big believer of energy, which, when within, feeling the positivity inside out, everything around you becomes dazzling, but, when it is not, you start attracting the negative...for that... always surround yourself with good moments, good energy and push away negative thoughts. 

Few adventures started with these quotes:

Building the stones of the perfect relationship recipe is cooked with four basic ingredients: 100% Respect, two way Communication, full Trust & and a pure transparent Honesty – RH 

September 18-2012

A life can transform in a second, that second belongs to you, switch, light up & embrace the power of the universe, you never know what is hiding for you. Believe in it & you'll be created with its energy - RH 

September 21-2012

Always choose your second wisely, in order not to miss the open book of the splendid fireworks which will fire-up your life. 

Those sparkles will drive the road for eternal passion, magic, and conceive a glowing flower, I shall call it the flower of love. 

Always maintain the basic stones of the relation, any kind of relation, it can be love, friendship, family, or business. The four columns which, if solid enough, will never be broken by any external factor, even if the wind gets stronger. 

Now, from September crossing all the way to December, closing the book for my last few months of my 2012 blossoming year, and looking forward to picking all its marvelous fruits in 2013, remembering a dear friend who once told me, always discover the 400 opportunities around you, uncover the mind, the heart and the spirit, getting out of the comfort zone in order not to miss any and jump in the leap of faith (I added the last one with the leap of faith), I reply saying, I might have lost 1 opportunity, but I still have 399 to discover, and as I always say, the sky is the limit... 

Lately, I have wrote lots of quotes, it might be repetitive, or around similar thoughts, but I got inspired by observing many things happening around me... and like I said in an older blog;

It touches deeply my soul every time I type, starting from the first word to the end. I get this emotional tangible feeling, an internal warmth aiding my fingers to play around touching every letter with deep sentiments. 

I have never thought that one day I will be able to calligraphically project this burst of emotion, passion and love into words, a phrase, or even a quote. 

Leaving you with few more:

Strange how someone can forget the world in your presence, leaves everything behind for your company, & creates magical surprises for you, crafting smiles which last forever, then, forever ends - RH 

November 26, 2012

Around you tons to satisfy your eyes, but only one to savor your heart, surrounded by hundreds murmuring words, but only one will serve you the world - RH

10-11-12

Always look for the one who appreciates you, respects you, and above all knows how to communicate with you, the one who when embracing you spreads the feeling of security, love and above all his true honesty –RH

October 20-2012

Always go back to your beliefs, ask and be honest with the universe, with the power which will lead your life, for God who, will show you the way. 

Be born with the vitality of the globe:

Typing those striking letters, conceiving perfect sentences and marking your wisdoms into impeccable thoughts, are creating your world of desire, pointing to the universe your genuine aspiration to be born with its vitality – RH
