True happiness

About a week ago I started talking to one of my old friend’s. We started working together over 20 years ago, and the next 10 continued to work together on and off. Naturally, we started catching up, a lot have changed in 10 years that we lost contact. Yesterday he asked me a question: “ I guess what I'm asking is do you remember when you were really content and happy ?” I could not answer that question right away, it made me think. Life is never the same, there are always ups and downs, but when was I really really happy? When I was a small kid, all I needed was ice-cream or some bubble gum and I was happy, then as I was getting older, simple ice-cream was no longer the giver of happiness. I was happy for a while when I found out that we will be migrating to USA. Growing up in the Soviet country with Jewish parents, I was expected to marry and have children, and I was under the impression that it will bring me everlasting happiness. When I married my Jewish prince, I put ...

Black will always be Black

I was supposed to see my Master friend today – it's Friday. I have not called to confirm, I am waiting, I am not really sure I want to go. I turn to my Tarot cards and ask a question. As I am shuffling a card falls out, and I interpret it as a message. I proceed to shuffle, and I get my answer as a NO. So I am already planning on how I will be calling him when I am half way home, and telling him that I totally forgot. Ten minutes later he sends me a text with a reminder, I exhausted every excuse. So I go and see my Master friend right after work. After all we did agree to meet every Friday for my training.  Came over, we talked, chilled, talked some more until the moment when I heard someone was opening the front door. That was his new Slave. A very smart, intelligent overweight and tired looking attorney. She was living with my Master friend for the past 3 month. She was recovering from her very bad marriage that lasted 20 years. All three of us are sitting and talking a...

Gratitude is sexy

It is such a pleasure to cook, or prepare meals (in my case) for someone who will appreciate it. Yesterday I created a Taco Salad, put all ingredients on the counter, took pictures, and was taking pictures to show all the step by step instructions. I was really enjoying the process, it was creative and relaxing. After it was all done my hubby and I set down to eat, and I remembered how his ex-wife would ask him if he liked the dish she cooked for dinner, and his standard reply was “I am eating it, aren't I”. When I make food I put a lot of my energy and thought into it. At first I have to plan, then at the store I have to pick out all the right ingredients and make sure that they are all organic, then I have to create the dish that I planned on doing, and see how I can improve it. It's a creative process. It's not as simple as dumping veggies on the plate. And when I am done preparing this food with love, I really want to be complimented on it. If I am not getting any...

Dearly Departed

I had a wonderful evening yesterday with my friend. I came over to her house, thinking we will have our usual tea date, upon arrival I was pleasantly surprised to see my brother there, and his friend (our relative). Since I was not alone either - took my baby Athena with me, I asked her to join me for a walk her. Went out, exchanged news that happen in the last week, since we saw each other. She got a new job, and had few more interviews lined up for her, that was great news. I told her that I moved in with my parents for a week, and that was an explanation of why the puppy was with me. Once we got back to her house, my brother's friend left and it was just the 3 of us playing with a puppy, my brother was eating a salad and sharing his tomatoes with Athena, so we all ended up in the kitchen, he looks at me and with a "it’s not really that important" voice said "I know you are little more open to this than all our other relatives, so I wanted to share something w...
