Happy Mother's Day!

Just a little reminder... hee hee

The Dark Side

 

 

As much as we love inspirational words that fill you up with warmth and love and hope, from time to time the darker side has its appeal too (know what I mean?) and it's one of those days for Wue to indulge in the dark, just for a moment or two.

Words of Wisdom

After a very lovely weekend despite the rain and wind and snow, we are back at work under a bright blue sky and words that truly inspire us - Leave everything a little better than you found it or better still, a lot better than you found it.

these clever words were found here.

29.02.2012: A leap year promise

Let fruits be fruits...

In this busy frantic part of the world called Hong Kong, one struggles to have a lunch/ dinner without the other person texting, checking emails or some other form of high tech messaging... what happened to good old time out to enjoy a meal and some good company? A meal + conversation with no interruptions anyone?

Snap!

little snap shots of the past few days - yes, there's been a lot of eating.

hope you are all happy and smiling in sunny England. If not, this headline on Gordon Brown should put a smile on your face (it made me giggle uncontrollably at the computer!):

"Gillian only popped out for a loaf but she got... BROWN TOAST."

Keep smiling and laughing lovelies xoxo

I Believe { VIII }

whatever shape/ size/ colour.

I Believe { VII }

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away."

I Believe { the beauty in simplicity }

simple, subtle, lovely, dainty things make my heart jump.

{ I know someone who would agree by reading her blog : Tombe la Neige ~ thank you for popping over to Wue, maybe one day you'll come over for tea + peanut butter cups and we can coo over simple, lovely things together! }

I Believe { Love is in the Air }

"It is a risk to love. What if it doesn't work out? Ah, but what if it does."
- Peter McWilliams

So I'm thinking, it must be the season of LOVE. Everything around me seems to be about love. News of W's engagement { congratulations again Mr & Mrs Curphey-to-be } ; the wedding gift I'm creating for the lovely Sue; Beautiful reminders of S & C's wedding that came in the post; the fact that I'm totally in love with... the package I received from Ez {Nice Package} this morning; the Christening Party I'm organising { ref. children are born out of great love } and hey, even my macho big bro is running around getting everything ready for one of his best friends' wedding this week. So love is definitely in the air, I can smell it!

I Believe { V }

Still recovering from my cold/flu/fever... I am craving for the sun! But R found this quote and I'm a believer!

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I Believe { IV }

"Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, to those who still love even though they've been hurt before."

I Believe { III }

"For it is in giving that we receive."

- St. Francis of Assisi

I Believe { II }

"To give and then not feel that one has given is the very best of all ways of giving. "

- Max Beerbohm

Am I a genius?

There is a saying that "a cluttered desk is a sign of genius" and a lot of the times, I agree. Actually it is all of the times when my desk is a wee bit messy... a sort of organised chaos! Although I seem to NEED a very tidy workspace to start with, to help me think straight before I go into a creative flowing mode and turn it all upside down! So I was thinking... this is a nice desk tidy to have (just need to remember not to pour tea into it!).

I Believe { I }

I love words. I love quotes.I love words and quotes so I'm starting a "I believe" series and here is the first one...

"Be kind to everybody. You never know who might show up on the jury at your trial."

- Tony Cresswell

Feel Better...

Pockets tightened. Uncertain future. Closing and bust. This credit crunch coupled with a grey sky is really getting everyone down and worried. So it is nice to take a minute each day to remember and reassure. For Wue, my amazing family and some great friends really make a difference to my everyday so this is for you:

We will be ok because we are together. We have each other.

P.S. Just like this poster/print from here - I love it...
