مامتي الجميلة اللي ربتنا انا و اخواتي .. اعظم ام في الدنيا تعبت كتير عشانّا ، تحدّت نفسها و الظروف اللي اتحطت فيها بعد وفاة والدي عشان تحقق لنا كل اللي نفسنا فيه.. استحملت كتير اوي في مراهقتنا و عِندنا..  رغم كل الهموم و المسئوليات اللي فوق دماغها إلا انها وسط الناس بتكون مبتسمة و تضحك بسهولة  تتصاحب بسرعة علي صحابي و صحاب اختي و كلهم بيحبوها اوي ما عرفتش اد ايه دور الزوجة/الام صعب إلا بعد ما اتجوزت  سامحيني مامي لو في اي وقت ضايقتك من غير ما اقصد  و مش هعرف اشكرك ازاي علي كل اللي عملتيه معايا .. من اول ما طلعت الدنيا لحد ما جوزتيني انا عارفة انك اكيد نفسك تشوفيني كل اسبوع علي الاقل بس الاقدار باعدتنا عن بعض آلاف الأميال.. بدعي ربي يخليكي لينا في صحة دايما بنتك اللي بتموت فيكي #mothersday #bestmom

Choisir

Vas-y, choisis La couleur de ta peau Le pays de ton origine Les années que tu vivrais Les terres que tu visiterais Les habits que tu porterais Les mots que tu protesterais

Vas-y, choisis

Le métier que tu ferais Le tableau que tu peindrais L'abri où tu dormirais

Les livres que tu lirais Les études que tu poursuiverais Les notions en quoi tu croirais

Les amis qui seraient fidèles Les parents qui vivront à l'infini Les enfants qui ne te quitteraient

Vas-y, choisis De rire ou pleurer De remercier ou nier De juger ou réfléchir De vivre ou s'enterrer

...

Sois libre dans ce que tu peux choisir Et reconnaissant pour ce que tu ne peux changer

It was such an amazing journey.. the #yogalosophy 28 days routine.. 🙅What was a challenge in the beginning became a pleasant daily workout.. Through that journey I explored new insights of the body, mind, emotions.. Ah, and new healthy meals as well 😄 The book is funny, easy, inspiring.. Just want to say a big thank you to @mandyingber for sharing your experiences and for the tutoring.. 👏 I ended up not only learning about yoga but about how to love ourself, our life and our body as it is. 😉

With a little makeup, a lot of patience and a slight curl of the lip, Laura Jenkinson (@laurajenkinson) brings the most beloved cartoon characters to life on her face. From Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck to Nemo and Shrek, Laura has painted more than fifty cartoon masterpieces on her mouth and chin in the last year. She started this project on Instagram as a way to stand out as a makeup artist in the competitive beauty industry. “I knew I wanted to do something different, and equally something that would bring happiness to people,” she says. “If I can spend a couple of hours a day making at least a handful of people smile—then why not?”

Now with a growing list of followers, Laura gets constant encouragement and inspiration from her fans. “My creations now mainly come from people’s requests and their ideas. I generally don’t have many uninspired days anymore.”

I just saw this movie yesterday... and I loved it! I know that maybe a lot of people didn't like it or maybe never thought of watching it, but for me it was different. It made me think more about humankind.. violence.. hunger.. oppression.. blessings..

How we as human are really unjust to others even if we are not powerful, even if we are just equal as others, this is how our world is. This is why politics is disgusting because humans are not pure and good as they used to be when they were born. This idea is really disappointing but it is the truth. I hope we can truly SEE..

Every creative journey begins with a problem. It starts with a feeling of frustration, the dull ache of not being able to find the answer.

Imagine.. How creativity works, by Jonah Lehrer

[ranakadry]

When the artist is alive in any person, whatever his kind of work may be, he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressive creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets, enlightens, and opens ways for a better understanding. Where those who are not artists are trying to close the book, he opens it and shows there are still more pages possible.

La Raison

Je crois en l’union Oui, mais personne ne répond J’hurle de dedans Avec papier et crayon Je dessine le sourire Éphémère pourtant Sur les visages souffrants Écoutez ce cri plaignant De loin ou de très proche À chaque éclat de l’aube Une nouvelle guerre reprend Mais si demain, Rien ne se passer Les jours continueraient Et si demain, On se reverrais Tu m’expliquerais Tu me raconterais Je t’écouterais Et je te demanderais Où pourrait-on Trouver la raison?

À mon père

À chaque fois À la tombée de la nuit Je rêve de toi Tous ces souvenirs des temps passés Ne me quittent pas À chaque fois Une larme ou un sourire Me font penser à toi Tes gestes que j’imiterai Me rapèleront de toi À chaque fois Tes histoires par milliers Je les répeterai Tes centaines de photos Je les encadrerai Et à mon anniversaire Je t’attendrai Je sais que toi aussi Tu penses à moi Je le sens si fort Que tu vis avec moi Que tu n’es pas si loin Comme tout le monde prétends À chaque fois Je te dirai Attends moi Parce qu’il viendra le jour Ou on se rencontreras À chaque fois Que j’entendrai le mot ‘papa’ Je frissonerai À chaque fois Tu me m’anqueras
