May I be willing to trade a whisper of my name for a shout of His. May I stop trying to be the ‘bigger person’ and start seeking the All Sufficient. May I replace my performance with His presence. May we come quietly for the Almighty to sound.

Look to challenge yourself and build your own dream instead of building someone else’s. Pursue your passions. Just like eating healthy is good for your body, passionate work is good for your soul. It’s not the easiest career route but certainly the most rewarding. And forget all that hype about a real 9-5 job, and hold up, I’m not saying there aren’t incredible jobs out there. But personally, I’m just not cut out for one of those. Some of the most talented (and richest) people I know are essentially unemployable – their passions and independence lead them in directions far beyond the instructions of a boss. Be your own boss.

Quote: My Own

(Is it pretentious to quote yourself? Probably, but I just thought I’d share one of my daily affirmations with you all)

One day you’ll come home to your apartment, throw your keys on the table, kick your shoes off and collapse on your bed because you’re exhausted, and you’ll turn over and look at the ceiling and think, but this ceiling is mine and it will be the strangest but most honest and inspiring thought you’ve ever had, and all of a sudden, you don’t care about being exhausted. You get up and make yourself dinner while you’re on the phone with your best friend. And you realize that this was the future you were dreaming of and you are who you thought you’d be.

Adding another film to the list of French Films I desperately want to watch but are not available in the US.  Marius et Fanny. 

How gorgeous is Victoire Bélézy! I'll give you a hint, no scale can measure that much beauty! It was her beautiful face on the movie artwork that caught my eye. 

The time period, the setting, the clothes! I want to see this so badly! 

Anyone know how an American get a French iTunes account, so I can buy this movie?

Wow, that's heartbreaking! I went to Paris recently, and walked along this bridge. I actually admired the locks because it looked so cool, I had no idea, until recently the damage they were causing. I'm definitely glad I didn't add one!

Because of #Lovelocks frenzy, this is what Le Pont des Arts looks like today :

Lovelocks are NOT a French tradition, THEY’RE A TREND tourists started 7 years ago. That’s how le Pont des Arts looked like 7 years ago and before :

It was a nice and...

Humphrey Bogart was buried with a small, gold whistle once part of a charm bracelet he had given to Lauren Bacall before they married. It was inscribed with a quote from their first movie together: “If you want anything, just whistle.”

There’s just something about you that I can’t make myself let go of.

Midnight thoughts (via thatkindofwoman)

[lepetit-oiseau]

For example, if you compliment an Englishwoman on her dress, she’s more than likely to say, ‘Oh, this old thing? Had it for ages, cat threw up on it last night, think I’ve managed to scrape the worst of it off.’ Whereas a Frenchwoman may just shrug as if to say, ‘Of course, I’m bloody gorgeous.’ But an American might say, ‘Thank you so much, I worked really hard to be able to afford it.’

Note to Self: Receive compliments like a Frenchwoman. Seriously.
