Amen to that! 

Go out and try something new today - the chance that you may get to say, "OMGosh, that was amazing!" is worth the "Oh, well..." you may get!!

I found this beautiful post by Chimp on Cup of Zup (check it out - lots of funnies), on how the Chinese culture explains why we wear our wedding rings on the fourth finger:

• The index finger represents your siblings.
• The middle finger represents yourself.
• The ring finger represents your life partner.
• The little finger/pinky represents your children.
• The thumb represents your parents.

Hold your hands together like the picture. Join your middle fingers back-to-back, and the remaining fingers tip-to-tip.

Now, try to separate your thumbs. They will separate because your parents are not destined to live with you forever.

Rejoin your thumbs and separate your index fingers. They will separate because your siblings will have their own families and lead their own lives.

Rejoin your index fingers and separate your little fingers/pinkies. They will separate because your children will grow up, get married, and settle down.

Rejoin your little fingers/pinkies and try to separate your ring finger, without separating any of the other fingers. They will not be able to separate because your life partner is meant to be with you throughout your entire life, through thick and thin.

Isn't that beautiful?

Cheers,

Meaningful Mashup Mondays: Nov 5

Just like my Meaningful Monday post on Sept 3, I'm going to share another MashUp that I love!



I discovered DJ Earworm through my hubby, Gary when he shared this video with me in 2009.  He takes all of the popular songs throughout the year and make a fantastic song, by using bits and pieces of each song!

Funnily enough, I don't follow DJ Earworm at any other time during the year, but at the end of the year, I always wait for his mashup of the year with anticipation.  Can't wait to hear 2012's!

As  a side note, I just read on his blog that he was asked to create several mashups for the 2012 Olympics in London this year - you can hear them on his website!

Cheers,

Maybe not meaningful in the traditional sense.  But something discovered that I love is meaningful, right?

Two of my favourite songs right now, in a very cool mashup:



Thanks to my friend, Vicki, for sharing the link on FB!

Okay so this may not be thought-provoking, but it sure makes me giggle...

"Behold.  I am smiling."

Hee hee...  Happy Monday!

My blog posts are all messed up this week!!   Hopefully we'll get back to a regular routine here soon...

I wanted to share this beautiful art work by Sara of White Papers Press:

Now, I've been known to rock the X-acto blade back in the day (before the big die cut machines came to be), but this... this is truly awe-inspiring.  She DRAWS and then HANDCUTS her artwork!  You can see more of her portfolio on her website.

Happy Meaningful Monday... on Wednesday! :)
