Change is Always in Motion
Something to contemplate by Marie-Aude

To expect our lives to remain the same once we have it organized the way we want it, is practically impossible and would be unrealistic or perhaps a little naive. Yet most of us expect our lives to be under our control and in the way imagined. We get surprised when change comes our way or when life moves/force us into a new direction.

Almost three years ago when I got hit by another car from the rear while patiently waiting for the red light to turn green, earlier that day I was noticing how wonderful I felt, how strong and healthy I was physically, I was at a place in my life that felt really good, I loved my life, I loved myself, the future was for sure very promising.
I was plain happy!

Anyone pursuing spirituality has heard about or wondered about "living in the moment" to uncover truth. But how can one accomplishes this when one's mind is going 100 miles an hour and can't stop thinking about sometimes insignificant stuff?

Secret of Yogi #4 - A Yogi Knows that Success is not an "I" Thing but a "We" Attainment

Your success are granted to you because of your effort in life and the good karma you have accumulated in this life or past lives, yet it isn't attained by your power alone.
I can already feel the resistance coming from some of my readers as I am writing this. We have become such an egotistical society in the West that when we "acquire" success in our lives we think we did it alone!

Secret of a Yogi #2:
A yogi never complains

Even though life may be quiet a challenge to get through sometimes, a Yogi understand that complaining makes things worse for oneself.

From time to time we will find ourselves whining about our lives, blaming others for our problems, and yet what we don't realize is that all that we get or don't get in our lives is dictated by the law of Karma or the law of "cause and effect", also known as newton's law.

My Year's 12 Awakenings & Realizations

These have changed my outlook on life, and how I see others today:
Some may seem banal and known to you already BUT don't be fooled by their appearances.
Understanding or knowing something mentally is quiet different than going through the full blown experience yourself.

1. Live your truth today because you don't know what will come tomorrow.
2. Never ever take anything or anyone for granted, they may be gone the next minute.
3. Long lasting friends are very hard to come by and it takes years to create true friendship; cherish + nurture the one in the making and the friends you already have. read more

The Authentic Salad Nicoise

This delicious salad is a traditional dish originating from the south of France more exactly from Nice.
It is so delicious, nutritious and refreshing that it is a complete meal in one plate.
Something that Anglo Saxon are use to but in France we rarely have one dish that will constitute of our entire dinner. Usually we will have 3 or 4 dishes, which will complete our dinner.

I love this salad, it feels so Mediterranean and clean. You can also make it the easy way with canned Tuna fish but I highly suggest that you try it with fresh seared tuna as well.

Winter Solstice - The New Ideal
