men will be men
I’m a guy. Since when do we get anything right the first time?
Men are like Bluetooth connection, when you are beside them, they stay connected but when you are away, they search for new devices.
I like my men like I like my coffee. Tied up in a burlap bag and dragged through mountains.
You know… There is a name for people who are always wrong about everything all the time… Husband!!!

Why do men like intelligent women? Because opposites attract!

Phenomenal Reflection Pictures on Water
Phenomenal Reflection Pictures on Water
How to Photograph Natural Phenomena Phenomenally
Steps
Step 1
Pack light
Pack light -- less is more when you’re communing with nature. All you need is a camera with manual settings -- an SLR or an advanced point-and-shoot -- a tripod to help stabilize your shots, and extra batteries and memory cards.
Step 2
Get phenomenal light
Skip the snooze button and bypass cocktail hour; 2 of nature’s most phenomenal displays -- and the trickiest to capture -- are sunrise and sunset. Because the intense light in the sky is often overexposed, try different exposures, starting with a fast shutter speed and working down to slower ones. If your camera allows it, adjust your white balance to "cloudy" or "shade" to better capture the warm tones of the light.
For other photos, shoot during the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset -- the "magic hours" that produce more texture, warmer colors, and a softer quality than at midday.
Step 3
Shoot reflections
Standard shots of babbling brooks are fine for grandma, but for a really interesting take on a body of water, look for reflections of the surrounding landscape. To get the best angle, get close to the water and low to the ground. Set the focus on the reflection, and wait for the water to be still and smooth before snapping your picture.
Step 4
Catch the wind
Sure, nature's purdy, but your friends will only look at so many landscapes without yawning. Add some action by photographing objects blowing in the wind. Set your camera to a fast shutter speed, with an exposure approximately 1/250th to 1/125th of a second, to freeze the object in motion and an f-stop between f/8 and f/11.
Use a shutter speed of 1/250th of a second or faster to freeze the motion of water and isolate individual droplets.
Step 5
Work a slow shutter speed
Feeling extra artsy? To blur grass or leaves blowing in the wind or make running water look silky, set an exposure time to between 1 and 5 seconds. Close your aperture as much as possible, using an f-stop between f/11 and f/22 to limit the amount of light entering your camera during the long exposure, and stabilize your camera on a tripod.
Hang a sandbag from your tripod to stabilize it in windy conditions.
Step 6
Don’t trash the place
Fulfilled your artistic vision for the day? Don’t be a jerk; remember to take all your trash with you so nature remains just as phenomenal for the next shutterbug.

Water Painting
Mind Blowing Water colour Painting...Watercolor (American English) or watercolour (Commonwealth and Ireland), also aquarelle from French, is a painting method in which the paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-soluble vehicle. The term "watercolor" refers to both the medium and the resulting artwork. The traditional and most common support for watercolor paintings is paper; other supports include papyrus, bark papers, plastics, vellum or leather, fabric, wood, and canvas. Watercolors are usually transparent, and appear luminous because the pigments are laid down in a relatively pure form with few fillers obscuring the pigment colors. Watercolor can also be made opaque by adding Chinese white. In East Asia, watercolor painting with inks is referred to as brush painting or scroll painting. In Chinese, Korean, and Japanese painting it has been the dominant medium, often in monochrome black or browns. India, Ethiopia and other countries also have long traditions. Fingerpainting with watercolor paints originated in China.

Most Amazing Black And White Photos
The black and white photography is one of the most favorites among the artistic souls. No matter if it is a portrait or a scenery, the black and white simplicity delivers the very essence of the captured moment. Let your artistic eye wanders through the black and white world , abstracted from the various colors that often take away the focus from the points that really matter. I have chosen 10 amazing black and white photos that you definitely shouldn’t miss seeing. Which is your favorite one?
The Eiffel Tower And The Raven I feel extremely lucky to do what I love to do every day. Capturing atmospheric and inspiring moments of our everyday life.
Well this is a new way, that I never seen before’ by expressing creativity and art. To some extent the result is quite funny, the books that the girls had chosen are… interesting (very descriptive) and some of them on the same topic as the project. I hope that you enjoy the videos and try not to see them an pornography.
Silver Lining
What is so broken about me that I cannot get anyone to see anything worth loving in me?
Why do I keep on attracting unemotional men?
Why am I not happy in spite of having an amazing life?
I used to mull over those questions and the inadequacy of my existence when I overtly tried to be strong on the outside while I was so weak on the inside.
Anything and everything could chip away at my heart and would plunge me into more self-sabotaging, emotionally barbaric cycles of closing in on my power, withdrawing from my spiritual practice of faking-it-until-you-make-it confidence mastery.
A confident woman would walk by, and although I would try to ignore her poise, I would surely admire her once she passed me, with my gut flinching a little, recalling the acne on my back and my imperfect teeth.
My semi-boyfriend from the year prior would display all sorts of bliss on his social media with his new girlfriend and that would lead me to an abyss darker than Dante’s Hell. (Hello, stalker me.)
I broke a little bit every day. Struggling against the current of the Universal love that desired to flow within me but my external walls would deflect the flow of divine power inherent to my divine birthright. I claimed to be externally strong so that the world would not see the weakness of my internal structure.
Oh, did I misunderstand the authentic infrastructure of CORE STRENGTH.
I reversed my inverted dichotomy of strength and began to build strength within so that I could be unconditionally loving and vivaciously open to LIFE. I erected an inner temple of inner peace and divine trust to avert the external world from depleting my power and my unconditional gratitude.
It is a daily commitment to fortify our internal un breakability but it is a blessing that keeps on giving, keeps on flying me to new heights of miracles. It is an alchemical foundation of fearless surrender, thought mastery, spiritual expansion.
UN breakability makes us fully present for the experience of living. It is the ultimate power that takes us from littleness to infinite magnitude.
Below are three steps that I consistently practice to build my core strength, so that I can show up in my life with a fearless and invincible vibe.
1. SOUL-BASED RESILIENCE
Recall that only our thoughts about a specific situation can take us into a headlock of pain and disappointment. We build resilience when we consciously create space between our thought about a given circumstance that causes pain and the situation itself. There is nothing that can take away our peace permanently unless we allow it to do so via the relinquishing of our positive, faithful thoughts. Our resiliency muscles are directly tied to our ability to surrender to the present moment. When something is taken away from you, it is to clear space for something far better to arrive. What we resist will persist, and what we surrender gets stronger. Resilience is not defined by anything that occurs externally. It solely depends on your willingness to depart from your association with external denouements, in favor of a peaceful space in between.
Distance your personal perception from external events and you will begin to react less and trust more.
2. DIVINELY ORIENTED TRUST
Trusting in the higher order of Universal wisdom is a major component of spiritual stamina. The perfect plan for your own self-actualization is already scripted in the Universe and it is readily available for you to download at any given time that you choose to open your heart for its guidance. The Universe is already set up to bring to you the next best moment that will lead you closer to the realization of your highest potential. Any setback is a blessing in disguise that is re-routing you to the divinely designed outcome, that you cannot see with your physical sight, but you can trust in that power, far wiser than your own mind. When I trust that my current experience is part of the perfect plan for me, I can soften my defenses and reconnect to my internal teacher.
The modern spiritual text A Course in Miracles teaches that “chance plays no part” in the plan of the Universe. Trust that you are exactly where you need to be right now.
When we struggle to manipulate the Universe, its perfect guidance cannot flow through us and we reinforce the illusion that we are alone and powerless.
3. SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE
When we choose to view everything through the eyes of love, our vision begins to change and we become empowered with a perspective that is beyond the realms of our conscious mind. What we choose to perceive, we will behold. If we choose to perceive drama and lack, the Universe will reflect those experiences back and we will retreat further in fear. If we choose to perceive love and a certainty of purpose in a situation, the Universe will reflect the love that we project. Aligning our perception with love is a 24/7 practice but it has transformed my ability to transcend my wounds in order to bring forth an empowered state of mind.
Every apparent trial is but a lesson presented once again to build your inner temple of strength. When you keep your heart open to the lesson of a situation, the flow of love enlivens your confidence and dissipates the illusory fears that remain.
Within you exists the faculty to recall your personal power, your unshakable confidence, your inner peace. You are not at the effect of the external world but at the mercy of your own spiritual practice. Every day spent in trust, surrender, and love, will build up your attitudinal muscles and bring forth the emerging light that it desperately needs amidst the perpetual neurosis of the human drama.
The more we shatter our ego and our fearful self, the more we allow our divine self to come through.
That, my beloveds, is un breakability.

BallerinaSome dancers dream about successful careers…and some dancers wake up and do the hard work that’s necessary to achieve.Any girl can slip their foot into a ballet slipper, but it's how you move in it that matters.All I can think of when I see a ballet dancer is the ridiculous amount of hard work and determination they put onto their art. Respect.I think ballerinas are so graceful & beautiful.
Miss you....
When and how did you fall in love with photography?
At eighteen, I carefully gathered photos I liked from master photographers: Avedon, Ritts, Lindbergh, Demarchelier. They gave me a taste of photography and that curiosity made me want to see more, to feel that connection again.Have you had any formal training? I'm self-taught. I've never received training or taken courses, and I'm not passionate about technology. I learned mostly by watching.How would you describe your photography style?I wouldn't say I'm an expert on style, but I try to produce simple, minimal images that convey a message. I love intense, emotionally-charged and symbolic pictures.

Lovers With Swallows Wings
If you passed me on the street, would you recognize me?
The dark ponytailed hair, extra 20 pounds, and sometimes sad eyes dressed in the boring mommy uniform, blending in next to others just trying to get the grocery shopping done?
In that cursory glance as you ‘excuse me’d’ through the crowd to pick up the blue cheese-stuffed burgers and Blue Moon, would you give the tired mom a second glance? Would there be anything there to recognize as familiar?
If you passed him in a crowd, would you know who he was?
The little boy who is now over 4 foot, 60 lbs, and sports a buzz cut? The one who is cracking his mommy up in the aisles and testing her patience as he asks her the same question over and over again and then acts on the opposite of the answer?
The little boy whose eyes are actively seeking the male figures pushing carts with kids in them, and wondering what it is like to have a father active in his daily life? Would there be anything there to recognize as familiar?
Five years are gone in the blink of an eye, and so much has changed. The days have compounded and so have the alterations. Life has modified, adapted, and conformed in your absence…in some ways for the better, as we learn to embrace what is important and true and dear; and in some ways for the worst, as the equilibrium of the increasing distance weighs on the thread we are trying to keep tightly connected.
This is our new normal. The one we have to embrace as our now, the one that is beautiful in some ways and aching in others. The one that is so different from what it could have and would have been.
Sometimes I wonder if you know where we are now. If you would approve of where we are, how we’ve changed. And deep in my heart, I know the perfect soul you have now absolutely understands beyond what we possibly can while still back here without you…and not only would you approve of how I’ve tried to do everything right by you, but would commend and comfort and encourage me, and him. But certain parts of my mind conflict with my heart and wonder if you would fit here now, if we would fit with you, or if you would even want to.
My goal from day one has been to do things to make you proud.
As if one day I would get to tell you all about it and I wanted it to be the best story.
But there are many things I am not proud of…
and you always found your pride of us in me.
So where does that leave us?I think I’ve finally learned an important lesson.

and you always found your pride of us in me.
So where does that leave us?I think I’ve finally learned an important lesson.
I don’t know why or how or when, but I see it now.
What you found so admirable in me is that I achieved. I did. And I did with blind and unrecognizing spirit, confidence, and ambition.
So my very act of concentrating on trying to do with spirit, confidence, and ambition, has actually killed those exact things.
But I think I’m scared that if I stop trying so hard, I’ll never measure up again. If you aren’t here, how I will be those things again? Without that mirror, how do I know? We filled each others holes, we bridged the gaps, we strengthened the weaknesses and smoothed the rough edges, calmed the crazies and drew out the excitement from the borings. We balanced.
That is my word for this year. Balance.
I am trying to learn to do it on my own. You know I struggle with that.
I see now that there are others who recognize those things in me. Someone in particular so precious who not only sees me for that old me you would see, but sees me for the different me now. And not only sees me, but loves and appreciates and cherishes me. That is precious, and I believe sent by God and you. And even more importantly, I see now that even if there wasn’t someone to recognize those things, the most important thing is that I recognize them in myself…and that I’m strong enough to not need to see things in myself anymore to have worth, but to see that what I can give to others and to God to is way more important. I think I am finally learning how to be me without you…that is so very incredibly painful to admit. And it is so important to me that in turn, I always know, and keep close, that I wouldn’t be where I am without who you were and what you did.
The part I’m still not so sure about it raising this beautiful little creature without you.
If you did pass us in the crowd, I would choose for you to see him.
And as much as I sometimes fear that you wouldn’t, and realize that it is likely that he wouldn’t either, I comfort myself in the many ways that he is you. If I need to feel you near, I just have to hug him. If I need to know your reaction to something, I just need to show him my realness and vulnerabilities. His laughter and jokes and smartass comments and reassuring hugs are you.
It’s as close as we are ever going to get.If you passed me on the street, would you recognize me?

Badass ways to say no
2 It’s not a priority for me at this time.
3 I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.
4 Or your eyes.
5 My schedule...is up in the right now.
6 I don’t love it, which means I’m not the person for it.
7 I would prefer another option.
8 I would prefer a night with Keanu reeves, but that’s just me. NEVER MIND.
9 I love it, but i know in my gut I’m not the person to execute.
10 I would be the absolute worst person to execute, are you on crack?
11 life is too short TO DO THINGS YOU don’t LOVE,
12 I no longer do things that make me want to kill myself.
13 you should do this yourself, you would be awesome sauce.

15 I would love to say yes to everything, but
16 Fuck no. that would be stupid.
17 I am disturbed by your excessive use of smiley faces :)
18 Some things have come up that need my attention.
19 My instincts tell me I’m just not suitable for this.
20 There is a person who totally kicks ass at this. I AM NOT THAT PERSON.

22 We should rethink this.
23 We should have the wild monkey sex. I DIDN'T TO SAY THAT OUT LOUD
24 Shoot me now.
25 I didn’t mean literally shoot me. You moron.
