Hello God!
Thank You for the breeze of tenderness I am feeling on my cheek now.
…Serene shore in silent morning
Orchids of orange joy
Lovers as natural as waves
Children laughing in the breeze
Ships as mystical as stars
How can I make you feel beautiful?..
The interrupted sleep by Francois Boucher, 1750
Have a tender weekend!
Hello God!
Thank You for today’s Inspiration You generously had showered on. I spent my today with a great impressionist artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. We were walking in Paris and admiring a parisian women. Renoir adores beautiful women. He said humorously that it is better to paint women than love them. Almost all his woman’s paintings are devoted to la femme a le chapeau. Woman in a hat is a symbol of feminity and charm.
“A hat is a flag, a shield, a bit of armor, and the badge of femininity. A hat is the difference between wearing clothes and wearing a costume; it’s the difference between being dressed and being dressed up; it’s the difference between looking adequate and looking your best. A hat is to be stylish in, to glow under, to flirt beneath, to make all others seem jealous over, and to make all men feel masculine about. A piece of magic is a hat,” Martha Sliter said.
“Fashion is a kind of communication. It’s a language without words. A great hat speaks for itself.” I love that.
“Whenever you wear your hat, your day will be special.” Louise Green is laughing: “Wearing a hat is like having a baby or a puppy; everyone stops to coo and talk about it.”
“Wearing a hat versus not wearing a hat is the difference between looking adequate and looking your best.” Martha Sliter inspires to buy a hat.
“You cannot hide in a hat; you will be noticed, especially by men. To men, you become a lady when you don a hat–one who they rush to open doors for. To women, you become an inspiration, reminding them that they have a closet full of hats they have not had the courage to wear.” The advice is good, I will follow.
A woman in a hat is always the ultimate sign of class, poise, and the fervor of a forgotten generation of ever-confident females. When you see a woman in a beautiful hat, you know she’s not afraid to be seen.
I am happy to share this charming video about Le Chapeau.
Oh, I am inspired by the idea to buy a hat for myself. I hope you are too. Let’s discover our Beauty in “jeans-and-t-shirt” routine. Our men will be happy!
Hello God!
Thank You for the silence I am wrapped around by sweet sleeping of my daughter. I am feeling her breathing and listening the Glory Mass to Life playing by the orchestra and choir of my imagination.

All fishes sing in deep unison.

She plays the piano solo.
Mountains and volcanos are
The piano keys. Her melody is Beauty.

Hello God!
Thank You for my dreams I see every night. I love to laugh in my dreams. Last night I saw wonderful and happy dream. I had met on the sofa, oh la la, with enigmatic Mr. F. We were laughing aloud until I had awoken and opened my eyes. Funny Mr. F. makes my happy today. Ha-ha-ha, it seems the dream have predicted that I am going to read the article “Playfulness and Humor in the Psychoanalytic Relationship”.
“In 2001, Time Magazine referred to Mr.F. as one of the most important thinkers of the last century. And in 2006 Newsweek article called him “history’s most debunked doctor” I am surprised by so ambivalent approach. Could you guess who is funny Mr. F.?
My previous posts were about Vienna and you know to think and write about this legendary city is impossible without light of its intellectual stars. The brightest from them is “father of psychoanalysis“, everybody guesses, Sigmund Freud.
“Psychoanalysis is in essence a cure through love,” Sigmund writes about his brain child.
The aim of psychoanalysis therapy is to release repressed emotions and experiences, i.e. make the unconscious conscious. He believes that nothing you do occurs by chance; every action and thought is motivated by your unconscious at some level.
A Freud slip is defined as a written or spoken mistake that brings insight to one’s unconscious desires, idea, and drive.
I have seen this wonderful design of chairs in Austria. What is your “free association” about the photo below? I associate the picture with a place of meeting of fishes from different seas like important diplomatic mission or group therapy as in “Finding Nemo” cartoon.
Sigmund Freud developed the use of “Talk Therapy”.
In psychoanalysis, the patient typically comes four times a week, lies on a couch, and attempts to communicate as openly and freely as possible, saying whatever comes to mind.
I love this joke:
Neurotics build castles in the sky.
Psychotics live in them.
Psychiatrists collect the rent.
Freud Sofa is below.
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is ‘What does a woman want?'” Freud puzzled.
Prada, Prada knows the answer, dear funny Mr. F.
Thank you for your smile and happy mold (oh, Freud slip, I mean “mood”) :-)! I keep my happy mold (mood) because of you.
Hello God!
Thank You for the promising belief that we are on the right way and success is on. I love the Universe and my life. As the result of our love, successively, on the New Mood period I have caught the Seed from Universe’s Inspiration and now I am pregnant by success. What’s a miraculous sense of happy waiting!
Even my cactus believes and helps me.
I am a woman and I know what to be pregnant is. When I had received desired two stripes on the test I was on the seventh skye of happiness. “Nature keeps its job in the perfect way. My only task is to keep my mind and body in happy state”, I though. But, and I am sure every mother confirms it, it was not as easy as it sounded.
You know that “just waiting in natural way” is a hard job. Hormonal rebuilding makes tears and troubles like “Is my body comfortable enough for my baby?” or “Am I going to be a really good mother?”. Now I know what silly this fears and doubts were.
The same troubles I have now on my way to Success. My advantage is I know my doubts and fears are silly.
“Everything has a gestation period, a time period that must pass before things will come into form. If you plant a carrot seed, it takes about seven weeks for the sprout to make its above-dirt entrance. Bamboo, which can grow up to thirteen feet in as little as one week, takes up to seven years to break through the surface of the ground. But for seven long years it looks like absolutely nothing’s happening,” I am reading in “Harmonic Wealth” by James Arthur Ray.
I welcome my every tears because of crisis is a good stage. I am growing. I meet my fears with smiles because fears want to keep me in the safe place.
“Being an artist means, not reckoning and counting, but ripening like the tree which does not force its sap and stands confidence in the storms of spring without fear that after them may come no summer.” Rainer M. Rilke motivated.
I do not know what my success is about. Will is boy or girl born? Am I on the red carpet with Sharon Stone or playing the grand piano in Carnegie Hall? I do not know. At this very moment I have only belief in the vital force which leads me and my heart beats because of this force. What I am sure about is everything is possible. If I can imagine it I can archive it. My life is extraordinary because I am Masterpiece of God and I have no other choice to live my life.
Maslow said: ” If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.”
I know the time of birth of my Success is coming. I let you know, of course. I will be more than happy to inspire you by my life and my Success as I am inspired by yours now. I believe in you. Thank you for your belief in me. We are Success!
Hello God!
Thank You for a wonderful time we are spending our lives in. We live in fantastic time when we have a possibility to learn Renaissance, to walk in Florence and to share our impressions worldwide immediately. We are lucky to live now.
“The lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves,” Machiavelli wrote in “The Prince”. “It’s a handbook for gangsters.” Francis Bacon said about Machiavelli’s “The Prince”.
The Lion’s side of Machiavelli is well known. But what about fox’s side?
Fifteenth-century Florence was an exciting place to be. Renaissance is blooming and beauty is the ruler. Nicollo Machiavelli is a student of human nature, “a witty man and a very ordinary husband and father who enjoyed love affairs and filles de joie,” Miles Unger writes in “Machiavelli: A biography”.
O,la,la it seems we see a fox’s side in him!
Everyone knows Niccolo Machiavelli’s status as a great politician, but few are also aware that he was a first-rate playwright and satirist.
His play Mandragola (probably written around 1519) is one of the outstanding comedies of the Italian Renaissance stage.
The plot centers around a wealthy doctor of law, Nicia, and his beautiful wife Lucrezia. Callimaco, a young man, hears about Lucrezia’s beauty, and decides that he wants to become her lover. He learns of the couple’s inability to produce a child, so (with the help of his servant Ligurio), he disguises himself as a doctor and informs Nicia that he can produce a potion from the mandrake plant that, if taken by Lucrezia, will enable her to conceive. However, as Callimaco warns Nicia, the first man to have sexual intercourse with her will die from the effects of the potion. Luckily, Callimaco knows a man who will consent to have sex with her and bear the punishment of death. Nicia consents, and (along with Frate Timoteo) persuades Lucrezia to do the same. Callimaco disguises himself yet again, and is able to have his way with her.
The play is a brilliant comedy. It is also amazing to learn that it was performed successfully in 1520 before Pope Leo X in Rome. The fact that the play celebrated sex and seduction, and totally ridiculed the clergy as frauds, bothered him not at all. In fact, the Pope liked it so much that he asked Cardinal Giulio de Medici to award Machiavelli a commission as a writer.
For a good summer night I would like to recommend the movie “La mandragola” (1965) by Albertto Lattuada. The film quite deservedly was Oscar nominated for Costume Design but also deserved a nod for its excellent cinematography. You will enjoy it, I promise!
Thank you for living your moment with me now.
Hello God!
Thank You for the river of joy which our life is. Every moment of my life I swim and am immersed in the flow of this river.
I would like to share with you a magic waves of joy and invite you for a walking along a beautiful mountain river somewhere in Italy. We are going to listen the sounds of nature and I tell you about my favorite movie of month.
It is “Samsara” movie. The movie is undoubtedly a masterpiece by Pan Nalin. There would be hardly 100 dialogues in this film spread over 2 hour 20 minutes but every word from the movie is great wisdom.
“Everything you contact is a place to practice the Way”
“I want you to tell me what will happen to that stick? -It will drown! -Suppose it doesn’t. -It will get stuck in the rocks! -Suppose it doesn’t get stuck. – It will stay in the water and rot! -No. It will get stuck in the whirlpool … or it can go down with a waterfall and crash! -Suppose even that doesn’t happen. What then? Do you give up?
The answer is simple. The stick will reach the sea!
The water in the river is crystal clear.
… you will be able to tell me what’s more important: Satisfying one thousand desires or conquering just one?
Thank you for sharing with me this moment of happiness. I do hope I inspire you to watch the movie. It worth to spend 2 hours of life.
How can one prevent a drop of water from ever drying up? By throwing it into the sea…
Hello God!
Thank You for creating us with the ability to rebuild and restore ourselves in any moment we choose.
A moment ago I was ruined and smitten by the quarrel with my husband. The reason, as usual, is egocentric and egodefending approach to each other. I was asking about soulmate’s warmness and kindness when the other side was not in the relevant mood to provide what was asking. The result is predictable conflict where we are both saying different words with the aim to damage each other’s egotemple. I am an emotional woman and the last words, unfortunately, were mine. I said that it is the guilt of my husband to remodel my person from “normal” to “pathetic creation with low self esteem”. I am not right, of course. I am saying: “I am sorry”, with eyes expressing as cat’s from “Shriek”.
I am smiling now. But before I took my dose of “emotional thunderstorm” with drama’s poems, music and crying. Oh, woman, woman! It seems we (women) need this “emotional thunderstorm” for restarting ourselves. I feel as good as phoenix bird arising from ashes. So I am a new phoenix now.
I am thinking how to rebuild my relationships with husband now. Today I have received a wise advices from Kathlyn and Gay Hendricks: How To Create A Conscious Relationship: 7 Principles, 7 Practices.
7 Principles, 7 Practices were created because Kathlyn and Gay set some big intentions: “We wanted to get free of the old patterns that had plagued us in past relationships, such as criticism, blame and secret-keeping. We wanted to create a relationship that ran on positive energy instead of up-and-down fluctuations of negative and positive.”
The first principle: each partner commits to total union with the other person and total creative expression as an individual. And practice: you’re willing to go beyond all your ego-defenses to full unity, observe the emergence of your defensive barriers every day, communicate about them honestly, in fact, ego-defenses disappear quickly when you turn them into play.
The second principle: each partner learns from every relationship interaction,especially the stressful ones, instead of running programmed defensive moves. Some popular defensive moves: criticizing, lying, sulking in silence, making noisy uproars, numbing out with food, drink, smoke, TV and other habit-forming drugs. And practice: commitment to learning something new from every relationship interaction.
The third principle: a climate of absolute honesty, no hidden feelings or withheld truths. And practice: notice your feelings and thoughts, and speak about them to your partner.
The fourth principle: people keep their agreements impeccably. And practice: monitor each agreement you make very carefully, making sure you want to make it in the first place.
The fifth principle: a climate of 100 percent accountability, where nobody blames or claims victim status. And practice: claim responsibility for having created it the way it occurred, speak in empowered language.
The sixth principle: appreciate each other liberally. And practice: invent new ways to appreciate the other person every day, and speak appreciations frequently.
The seventh principle: everything can be resolved with willingness and love. And practice: Love as much as you can from wherever you are.
Thank you, Kathlyn and Gay for sharing your wisdom with young phoenix birds. We are new now and we will go by suggested principles and practices to be a total and beautiful union. I know it takes decades but we have enough time together. I wish our way is as bright and sparkling as on the picture below.
