Mothers day and fellings (thankyou Ikeda)

Mothers day has been wonderful for me, 
I spent the day with my lifetime love and my fantastic son. The brought me flowers and smiles. 

They made my lunch and let me relax and have fun all day long. I love the two men of my life, and i am so grateful for having them by my side. 
We went walking (it was a sunny day) and talked and laughed, I could feel all their love in each touch and word. 
I have no money or jewelry but I do have jewels, they sparkle like mid day sun in my heart. 
I am blessed, by all the Gods human beings know, blessed by Mother nature and the universe and this is all the richness I need. 

Be happy

The strength of a mother is the strength of the earth.

As the earth nourishes plants and trees, it makes flowers bloom and ripen the fruits, a mother is the soil from which sprout education and creativity.

When she sets in motion her energy, everything changes.

It is the mother who transforms the family and the community.

It is the mother that transforms society and the era in which we live.


It is the mother that turns our world into a world of peace.

D. Ikeda 

Be grateful , heal the world

This morning, reading the news papers I was impressed, only 15 days have passed since Nepal was destroyed by the earthquake and nobody writes about it anymore. Seems that journalists have forgotten about the thousands dead in seconds. 

The worst side of the story is that I read always about this or that "star" losing weight, yesterday she was xx kg, today she's x kg, tomorrow etc. , so sad. 

If journalists suppose that humanity want's only to know about skinny of fat people, or which smartphone is the best, if they think that our only interest is which bikini will be the summer hit than we are lost. I know that it's not right to read talk think only about the sad side of the world but our consciousness should awake ... We all can start making this world a better place only by caring for those less fortunate than us. We can make a change by being grateful for what we have, by helping the person next door, one act of kindness a time can change the world.

Numbers and other bits of me

The numbers of my Friday


In this period of my life, after 30 years of work, I find myself full-time taking care of my family and  my home and I like that, my rhythm  is more musical, and so my voice,  and my smiles are too.

I'm living slow motion and the rebirth of myself, I have no time to think about performance anxiety, I know , many of you will think that my lifestyle is too old fashioned , too '50s, but I really like it, I love that I've found  the sense of myself outside of the office, where the frustrations and anxieties are amplified by unnecessary diatribes. I discovered that I do not need a desk to know who I am, I do not need to run up and down a corridor of gossips to prove who i am.
I am me! I am every day, my thoughts, my desire t knowledge and  the joy I feel when I take care of those who I love, my maternal nature exploded like fireworks on New Year and all the colors of the rainbow shine vivid and joyful.

Well iron wash clean, prepare the fish and potatoes for dinner, things of  everyday.
I love listening to music while working, to be with myself to the rhythm of the 80s.
Oh yes, I am musically vintage!

My daughter is  from the '90s , she glows ! She is a wonderful young woman who now walks along her road, beautiful as the sun, stubborn, intelligent, walking without the need for me to support her, but knowing that I'm here for her.

My son from the 2000s, explores the world like Columbus exploring the seas, curious adventurous enthusiast. Always smiling and loving, I walk with him,  but I'm sure that he is already finding his way, that  light in his eyes full of happiness is amazing.
