My Kind of Bride





This bride looks lovely. This is the way they should look. Innocent, pure (even if they are not), classic, and sentimental. None of the strapless, big hair, dyed-to-match shoes nonsense. The rest is a must see on OnceWed.

Jai guru deva om


Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Sounds of laughter shades of love are ringing
Through my open mind inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Jai guru deva

Norma Jeane Dougherty



I'm not typically a fan of the late Marilyn Monroe's looks (although I do like her in film), however she looks stunning in this photo that was just released. So subtle...

I need to remember this

"And those who don't have all the boxes on their life checklist checked off, put tremendous pressure on themselves to do so and live in a constant state of "when/then" future focused thinking. When I find the soulmate of my dreams, then I'll be happy. When I find my passion and my career takes off, then I'll be fulfilled. When I have money, then I will feel secure. When I loose ten pounds, then I'll be confident. This hamster wheel type of thinking keeps us in a constant state of believing there is something wrong with where we are now and keeps us focused on the destination, rather than the journey."-blogger from Huffington Post

Very Weird





So I came across these 19th century pregnancy dolls from Japan. I am truly astounded by the detail of these things. They were apparently used for both educational and entertainment purposes. 

Roma


I have to constantly remind myself why I am writing my thesis on the Roma. It gets boring and tedious, but these papers are being filled, published, and made researchable in universities across the EU... hopefully mine will make a difference. God help me through this process.
