Other interesting articles: courage to leave money and security, need for social media detox, letting go.. my schedule today has going back home and do some housework. to be quite honest i'm tired of spending time out. i need some time alone at home.

Friday ramblings

good morning lovelies.. what are you up to? Weekend is on our doorstep. It smelled summer in Athens. We've started dressing lighter. Nights are warmer. I have to pick up the carpets of the floor this weekend. There is also the elections, i hate this rush and mess .  let me tell what i have recently did..  i was in bed with a flu. That gave me the opportunity to watch DVDs. Well i watched "so far so close" of  Wim Wenders and "one flew of the cuckoo's nest", with Jack Nicholson. Amazing movies.. They are movies that remind you that cinema is art and culture.

 i have much to study, i have eliminated my training hours and i miss that. I have to get back to my normal training and practise more yoga. My job as a german teacher absorbs me so much that i forget i'm an engineer too. I like engineering no more. I've had it. I see no purpose in it. I don't see my purpose in it. I prefer to teach. I sense i'll change my working place soon. I have an inner call.  It takes a lot of inner search to find your purpose. But when you do, you manage to balance your life, to get happy. 

Other news: how to get over your mistakes , perfect at home manicure, how to make your facebook page meaningful, advice to look and feel younger, things your Dermatologist won't tell you, does your thoughts make you miserable?

i need : a new manicure, a cup of tea, yoga, a love story on DVD, cereals with milk, sun, a big smile. what do you need?

duty calls me back. i got to go. Have a great morning and a happy weekend. love you all. xoxo

morning ramblings

hi lovabies.. i'm back again.. the exams are in the middle. I'm finishing next Saturday.. i'm not stressed, i think i learned lately how not to be. yoga really helped me to that.. i had a small problem with my bowel, i did some medical tests and i'm ok now, i was a little horrified about that... Things at the office are getting worse but i'm not losing hope. I know that the universe will fix it at the end. To cut a long short i feel i'm living a period of transformation. Changes are always good. We may not realise it from the start but it take us a step further.. to life, to thinking differently. It's a challenge..

I spent time with friends lately. I went out meet new people. My yoga class is inspiring me... i like watching their faces feeling exhausted but happy. Morning information : fall back in love with your life , beat acne for good, lessons after a 60 years marriage, coming out of the closet..

 staying between two very close friends of mine having a great time

have a great day pumpkins. xoxo

Winter is here to stay.. brr sooo cold outside.. last week news: happy moment: i received a message from an old friend i haven't seen for months and that made me really happy.. hope about unexpected joy rise again... i read literature, i watched movies. My favourite ones for this weekend were the following :

I meditated on Saturday evening and that was a real comfort. My mind got empty and my heart got stronger.. I promised myself to medidate and practesi yoga more often but it's a promise i can't keep but i should have. For my shake.. The University didn't open eventually. People working here are giving their fight to keep their jobs and i really respect that . I'm on their side.. even if that delays my studies..

On Tuesday

good morning lovelies.. i'm at the office trying to keep my eyes open. i had a very bad sleep yesterday. I was staying at a friend's house last night, she was having a nightmare and her screaming woke me up suddenly in the night. i couldn't sleep the rest of the night. I was hearing weird noices and when the morning light came through the window i got up. i drank a coffee but i believe i need another cup. we went to the cinema last night and watched Hitchcock with Anthony Hopkins. Very good movie.. I think this movie and her personal problems were the cause of the nightmare. It was also a night of high temperature. i need to get back home early today in order to get some sleep. i have to study, arrange an appointment for a new teaching and start searching for a new gym. 

 

Today 's advice: how to be a good travelling partner, Style advice from Cher, find your through line, how to give yourself a facial, chocolate pudding.

got to go now, duty calls. i have no news at work and as older say: "no news, good news".. i'm on steam to see what's coming. Am I in or out after 13 years in this job..i'm waiting and praying for the best, the most suitable for me to happen. i need a change though..love you pumpkins.. cross your fingers for me. you have my warmest hug. xoxo

happy weekend

good morning pumpkins... how are you today? i'm feeling fine. My boss is out of town today, that means no yelling, no stress, no hurry. i'll just enjoy the peace of the coming hours, like a melody..

i wish you a very exciting weekend.. i'm going to spend it with family and friends. Yesterday i left the gym late at night, we were talking about what we can do to keep it open. The municipality authorities want to close it down. But we fight, for the first time i think we will win.. I promise i'll never give up hope.. 

Priority 1: Learn...so much to study.. the clock is ticking...

love ya.. sooo much. xoxo

trainer and friend

my gym

the days pass by and i get melancholic because i'll stop supervising in the gym. Perhaps the gym i'm going will close next September for good... so many momories.... i'm trying to deal with it.. I'm struggling among fighting to keep it open or let it go. 15 years going there made it my second home. Last year i was occasionally teaching pilates, this year i'm weight instructor. i love when people come to me and tell me that back- or leg pains have vanished because of my techniques. Or that they feel full of energy or better psychologically. Most of them are searching for a company more than training. That is also important. To offer a friend and  a trainer. That is not always possible, but teachers have to try being friends. Other advice from internet: effective detox nutrition habits, what to teach your daughters..

my day is as always, work, gym, home. i may have lunch with 2 loving friends of mine, Am and Arte. we haven't met for long, but talk frequently on the phone. Exams are over. I left most of the lesons for September exams. i was soo tired to read, learn anything..

i'll be back soon...

good morning

i love Little Prince.. good morning lovabies.. thank God the heat has reduced the last days.. it was unbearable. i keep on training though, but i try to fully hydrate my body... here you can find a 30 minutes programme for a killer body summer workout. 

Other interesting things: 

Elisabeth Gilbert's new book, best sunscreens, vegan ice cream , immovable objects , amazing candle jars, find inner balance, 

remember: Learning to love ourselves in our present state is a powerful tool for regaining our peace of mind. Our constant desire to always want to outdo ourselves is something that tends to push us to unhealthy limits. Being able to rest and heal ourselves, however, first begins with a shift in our attitude toward who we are. If we can recognize the treasure that we are on a more fundamental level, we will be more able to let go of our need to exert ourselves and release into the joy and wonders of what our lives are in the present. Putting your energy into yourself positively today will reenergize and revitalize you in the best way possible OM

have an amazing day!! :-)

tuesday ramblings

good morning pumpkins!!!

]

how are you today? i'm planning a trip and i have a lot to organise.. at the beginning it was Munich.. Eventually after a lot of cancellations and misslucks i'm travelling to the Greek island of Skyros on a business trip. i needed to leave Athens for a little. i'm quite exhausted lately, with work, teaching and training.. i need to slow down. When i'm coming back a lot of work and studying is waiting for me. I'm leaving tomorrow. But i'll post pictures.. 

Other internet surfing: hair mistakes, age well , numerology, powerful mantras for rough days, be you..

That's all for now.. i'll be back soon... lots of hugs and kisses.. 

good morning pumpkins... below is my morning surfing in the internet.. xoxo

hi pumpkins.. i have soo much to do... i'm running almost all day.. i have started going to the university again and that reforms me to a brand new person. Mind lifting, as i say. then it's work, teaching, training, as always.. my mind has to remember of soo many things.. it never stops working. i'm sleepimg and still thinking.. Reiki really helps and i have to get back to yoga. will see. For now i try to enjoy what comes. Try to find good in everything, even in bad situations.. they are mostly challenges..

i got to go now.. enjoy the rest of the day... i'll be thinking of you..

good morning lovelies.. i feel weird today. i feel like i'm stuck, like i cannot move. I decided for once in my life to wait. to live the present and see what happens. to give in and not act. To be once in my life against my character, which is active and impatient. But i try really really hard because that is too hard for me. I never wanted let anyone else decide about me. I wanted to have the whole control of the situations.. you know what the funny thing is? you can never have the total control of a situation.. you think you have money and you're robbed. you think you love someone and you fall in love with someone else. you think you're loved and you got abandoned or betrayed.. i keep following words in mind..

“To action alone you have a right, never to its fruits. Let not the fruits of action be your motive.” (Bhagavad-Gita)

i don't say we should stay passive, naaahhh.. just wait, enjoy today.. enjoy each situation... live.. the joy and the pain. you'll get wiser, complete..

i know i'm sad, but i'll get over it.. it's just moments...

Love in the end and other thoughts

my romantic mood remains... good morning lovabies.. love and rain stays for long in this city... i had a peaceful afternoon yesterday.. i went to the movies and watched a very romantic greek story  "Love in the end". I loved it.. It was totally appropriate if you want to remember how it is to be in love. What romance is.. 

Below you'll find trailers of the movie.. 

Back to daily routine now... Work, work, body training, sessions, no teaching for today...  I have sooo much to clean at the house... and ironing.. i hate ironing.. i put some music on, i dance, sing and iron, to make it more joyable.. .what are you planning for the weekend??

Finally i went shopping. I bought some creams from APIVITA, I love its natural products, especially Aqua Vita, and Wine Elixir Eye Cream. Amazing results..  I need a new cell phone, i have to buy some books for my teaching and i got some doctor appointments... shit.. where could i find some money?? Priorities... i know.. The times where i could do anything i wanted cause i had much money are long gone (crisis..). But now i'm really happy when i do something, i treasure it.. i realised lately that i'm lo longer attached to material things.. i can give, i can share my belongings..

My new mantra is BE PRESENT.. That i have been missing for 39 years.. i was struggling for the future and i was neglecting the present. Live the present... 

smile pumpkins.... today is a brand new day, you can change EVERYTHING..

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...
