I really feel that some people neglect and overlook compassion because they associate it with religion. Of course, everyone is free to choose whether they pay religion any regard, but to neglect compassion is a mistake because it is the source of our own well-being.- Dalai Lama

this just in..

yes. it's true.

i now wear little readers at the end of my nose.

-.-

fact #259

feeling free is an amazing feeling.

'They want to present themselves as the new superpower and continue the myth of the great Russian state. And I’ve learned that you cannot balance imperialistic myths with a model of critical thinking. The regime has more power and influence than the academics.”
—Nikolay Koposov

i've always guessed that the reason i haven't been able to understand Jem is because he's speaking a different language. but guess what? that's not it at all. Jem has been speaking perfect English for some time now - it's just that he has such a thick Russian accent it's difficult to understand him most of the time. adjusting to life of an American dog hasn't been easy for Jem. back in the motherland he was a member of the intelligenstia and a celebrated cosmonaut. here, he is forced to read Pushkin in translation, which give him a terrible headache. and when i offer him a bowl of water he says, Nyet, wodka.

blonde moment #0245,30,300,23

i realized something today. something that i really haven't given much thought to but is surly my reality. i seldom wear high heels anymore.

the black heels (in this picture) sit in my closet, and as much as i love them, i just don't wear them anymore.
instead i'll go for these. a pair of pointy toe flats.


and there ya have it.
i've gone and lost my huba*huba*


WHAT IN THE SAM HELL IS GOING ON PEOPLE??!!! 

#termitefirstworldproblems 

news flash!

that is all.

;-)

identity crisis ;-)

when i was 9 or so, my bestest pal, Erin sent me a postcard from a family trip to Africa. on the card she scribbled "JAMBO TINY!" ~~ later she told me that Jambo meant hello and Tiny.. well. that was a no-brainer. so for years after that the name Jambo Tiny stuck. (whether i liked it or not.) soon after, my daddy shortened it to Sheena but i never really knew what or why he did that. hell, i didn't even know who "Sheena" was for that matter.

recently i was browsing around a small bookstore in my neighborhood when i came across a series of "Sheena Queen of the Jungle" books....
to think after all this time my pet name annoyed me ~ but the minute i saw those books, my Jambo Tiny identity made perfect sense.  

natures love

they don't need much attention. actually, just let nature water them.. maybe prune them back in early spring. otherwise.. let them go. let them love. please.

they are always worth it. always.

#plumbagolove

over the love.

i haven't been all that jazzed over her music in the past, but i really love this new song by Florence & The Machine ~ soundtrack from Gatsby.
i've been singing it since this morning ~ it's moving for so many reasons.
i just love it.

happy mothers day to all my wonderful readers who share the greatest gift of all.
