a rock star moment

I am an absolutely terrible singer (I am not being modest here....it is surprising the windows of my car are still in tact). But I love to "sing" at the top of my lungs in the car (karaoke type singing) (of course only when I am alone in the car). It's just such a great feeling. In addition to that I am sure I bring a smile to many faces (those who pass me by and can't help but laugh at the insane sight of me being a rock star for a brief moment in time).

For more fun about Fuik Dag visit Ful Trot

Good morning and welcome to the first beautiful Monday morning of 2012.

For some of you still a wonderful day off and for others (like myself) the work week has started.

This week though we have an spectacular party to look forward to; Fuik Dag.

On Sunday we all head to Fuik for the party of the year (yep all that Christmas and New Years celebrating just isn't enough for us.....we close of the season and open the new year with an amazing beach party).

Have a splendid week.

Laugh much.

Smile loads.

Enjoy all the wonderful things this year will bring.

It is 7.15am on a very sunny Tuesday morning, am listening to a wonderful compilation of DJ Faizal De Jongh, which plays on the radio in Lebanon. Great music to get started in the morning. What fun do you listen to?

Smile loads.

live your life with arms wide open

"I'm just beginning

The pen's in my hand

Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you

Open up the dirty window

Let the sun illuminate the words

That you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance

So close you can almost taste it

Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open

Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten"

all that jazz II

This weekend was simply incredible. The sounds of jazz filled the air around the island. Friday at midnight, after inspiring shows of La India, George Benson and Luis Enrique, the stage got ready for the grand show of Lionel Richi. On Saturday, whether you started the evening with the jazzy sounds of Natalie Cole or the sweet Brazilian music of Sergio Mendes, we all ended up at the main stage for the sweet performance of John Legend, who was joined for his closing song by Natalie Cole. We ended the night with all the love from Simply Red. We danced (as though no one was watching), we laughed and we enjoyed.

There are few moments when the mind and the body can be in such equilibrium as when one is dancing freely, without worry (yes, the cocktails help), and feel completely alive without a worry in the world.

On this wonderful Sunday afternoon, remember to put some music on, dance a little. I am off to the beach. What a wonderful weekend it is.
