Go East when the wind blows West

Hello darlings and Happy New Year yet another holiday season has gone by and marked the beginning of a new year full of hopes, resolutions (to soon be forgotten, broken or slightly revised) and new adventures to come! What can I say I feel hopeful! and 2013 seems to have a good ring to it, maybe its the fact that it contains lucky 13, the most misunderstood number, or simply that 2012 was slightly heavy for a lot of us. Well no matter what comes our way we are going to have a heck of a ride! And all this has got me thinking about choices and about the wind and where it might take us.

"The word that allows yes,
the word that makes no possible.
The word that puts the free in freedom
and takes the obligation out of love.
The word that throws a window open
after the final door is closed.
The word upon which all adventure,
all exhilaration, all meaning, all honor depends.
The word that fires evolution's motor of mud.
The word that the cocoon whispers to the caterpillar.
The word that molecules recite before bonding.
The word that separates that which is dead from that which is living.
The word no mirror can turn around.
In the beginning was the word and the word was
CHOICE"

Tom Robbins "Still Life with Woodpecker"





















and the master of words Walt Whitman once said

"ABSENCE DIMINISHES LITTLE PASSIONS AND INCREASES GREAT ONES, AS WIND EXTINGUISHES CANDLES AND FANS A FIRE."


Cause all through the Christmas holidays this song has been stuck in my head



If you built yourself a myth
You'd know just what to give
What comes after this
Momentary bliss
The consequence
Of what you do to me


Cause sometimes you just love someone like moonbeams



I love you like grave danger
Like moon shining disguise
When I wake up with your makeup
And spread blush cross the sky



A rainbow in the skies of Athens! Best way to end 2012

We greeted the new year by dancing all night in an old tannery 


The most delicious Christmas cookies

And since we're in the run up to the Oscars and last night's Golden Globe Awards showed that ladies seem to be kind of the stars of show-business this year here's a video gallery of dreams and transformations featuring 13 talented ladies whose performances have left a mark on our celluloid dreams. My favorite one is the one with Naomi Watts. Enjoy!
