My Philosophy in Life

Things (circumstances) change all the time in our lives. That is what makes it so exciting. With age, maturity, and experience (which I am earning, slowly but surely) you can understand life better. I understood this concept not so long ago and now I am at peace. I wanted to share this with all of you, it might rub off and make you feel better too. The key is perseverance and belief in oneself. The rest follows. Also, the most important factor is to consider others around you leaving good vibes, positive attitude and making a difference (no matter how small or big).

I will be sharing my journey with you, one step at a time.

Do you Speak English? A Book by Wayne Parry

Wayne Parry is a polyglot who has traveled the world in search of himself, the people around him, and the acquisition of languages. There is a segment of Wayne and Barbara in Lebanon. The story reads of how we met and what we lived through together, all in the Lebanese chapter. Can't wait to read it! I'm so proud to be part of this adventure.

Good luck my friend!

Falling...

When one falls, one must pick oneself up again!
So hard ...

"Each day I live I want to be, a day to give... The best of me.

I'm only one, but not alone. My finest day, Is yet unknown.

I broke my heart, for every gain. To taste the sweet, oh I face the pain.

I rise and fall, yet through it all... This much remains."

"When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away"

Whitney Houston

Thank God for inspiration

Trying hard!

A friend of mine kindly responded to my call, this is what she had to say:

"Solid success stands on top of the mountain of failures that’s built only by a person who doesn’t understand the meaning of give up."
