At last I see the light.

Hello all,

I love Disney movies and last night I had the pleasure of watching Tangled again. I love Tangled for a wide variety of reasons. Most of which I won't go into here. However, I really wanted to share one scene with all of you that haven't seen the movie. (Hopefully, it will be fun for those of you who have as well.)

I know that a few weeks back I posted a poem by Li Po about being alone and all the fun that one can have without anyone to keep them company. While I still do believe this is true, I am actually quite the hopeless romantic at heart and I was a huge cry baby when I first heard this song.

The context of the song is as follows: Rapunzel has been locked in a tower since she was a baby. Every year on her birthday these magical lights float into the sky, and she can't help but feel that they are for her. Some guy stumbles into her tower on the run from the law. She knocks him out and forces him to take her to the lights. The two of them get into all sorts of shenanigans and have a jolly old time and then eventually they reach the kingdom the guy is on the run from. Once night falls the guy, Flyn Rider, takes her out on a boat to watch the who kingdom release paper lanterns into the sky. Will there be a love connection? Watch the video and find out.



It is stuff like this, ladies and gentleman, that can melt even a cynic's heart. So to all my single friends out there: I wish you the best of luck on your quests for love. (That is of course if love is what you are searching for.) For those of us who want love, I am sure we will find it some day. :)

Namaste and Good Evening,
Luna

"But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that, even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you. Valerie"

Just a good quote from V for Vendetta.

Namaste and Goodnight,

Luna

I want to see the world through these.

So I have eliminated my quota for now. :)

Quotas aren't natural. :p

I will update this blog as I see fit until further notice.

Anyway, I love these glasses and would like to find a way to own them. However, they are from Japan.

They are replica frames of Bayonetta's glasses from the Sega game Bayonetta. I think they are beautiful. 

Anyway, that is all I have for you tonight. 

Goodnight and Namaste, 

Luna

Back?

Hi all,

I am back... kind of... and I don't have anything super special, but I have a semi good reason: I am writing a book. Hopefully, it will actually be a series of books and I am very excited about writing them. (As are the people I have shared the story with thus far.)

Anyway, this blog isn't meant to be about me it is meant to be about beauty.

So today I'm going to share the youtube page of a beautiful and inspirational lady. Hopefully, she never finds out that I shared it here because she might be rather embarrassed if she saw that I put her on a blog in the middle of random cyber space. (In honesty though I have never met her in person, so I don't know maybe she wouldn't mind.)

Her name is Glenny and she is a transgender woman living in the UK. She has a stunning smile and has inspired and helped many other people in similar situations without even really having to do too much. I'll share her first video from a year ago in this entry. If you want to see more, I highly recommend you head over to her youtube page ( http://www.youtube.com/user/missglenny#p/u/2/GhnSKJQFncA ) and check out the rest of her videos.



Namaste and have a good afternoon,
Luna

Hiatus

Hi all,

Sorry this isn't a real post just letting you all know that I will be gone for a day or two trying to figure out my next move in life. I will do my best to have a worthwhile, special post when I get back. :)

Namaste and good night,
Luna

A Small Hillside Town

Hello all,

Once again I am a little busier than usual. If my schedule keeps continuing as is I may have to cut down to one post a day.

Today I would like to very quickly share with you a few photos of my favorite town in Italy, Asssi. It is a quiet, calm, little town on a hillside full of history. Due to my time constraints today I 'm not going to be able to share that history with you in this post, but I highly recommend that you look into the history of Assisi. If you ever have the opportunity to travel to Italy, please consider visiting this gorgeous town.

(None of the above photos are mine. They were found on various travel sites. For more information on the sites or photographers feel free to contact me and I will point you in the right direction.)

Namaste and be well,
Luna

It's okay to be alone

This past year several of my friends went through some very rough break ups. Today another one of my friends called me to tell me about some problems he was having with girlfriend, and eventually we reached a point in the conversation where I remembered that it is okay to be single.

I am not suggesting that people shouldn't be in relationships. Love is an amazing thing and the perks of having someone to spend the night with aren't half bad either. However, having some time to yourself to figure out your life and to be beautiful on your own can really be a blessing.

And to prove that you can have fun all by yourself and that people have been able to for centuries, I would like to share with you a silly poem by a Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty named Li Po.

"Drinking Alone in the Moonlight" 

Li Po 

(701-762 C.E.)

Beneath the blossoms with a pot of wine, 

No friends at hand, so I poured alone;

I raised my cup to invite the moon, 

Turned to my shadow, and we became three.

Now the moon had never learned about drinking, 

And my shadow had merely followed my form, 

But I quickly made friends with the moon and my shadow; 

To find pleasure in life, make the most of the spring.

Whenever I sang, the moon swayed with me; 

Whenever I danced, my shadow went wild. 

Drinking, we shared our enjoyment together; 

Drunk, then each went off on his own. 

But forever agreed on dispassionate revels,

We promised to meet in the far Milky Way. 

Well I feel even better about being single now. If Li Po could have that much fun with no friends in the eighth century. I think I will be fine for awhile without someone special in my life - less drama and more dancing with my shadow in the moonlight.

I hope all of my single readers are enjoying themselves and I hope that all my readers in a relationship are living drama free and happy lives as well. 

Goodnight and Namaste, 

Luna

P.S. - I do not encourage frequently drinking alone, especially outside at night... but a girl has got to have fun by herself every once and awhile. ;)

Evergreen

Hello All,

Busy day, so I only have time for a very quick post.

The following is a gorgeous animated music video about the original source of beauty: Nature. It is currently 86 degrees outside where I live, and a little bit intense for me. However, I do suggest everyone find a way to get outside and enjoy the warm, summer weather while you can. Just make sure you try to keep cool while you do it. :)




Namaste. Enjoy the sun,
Luna
