Lovely June.

Hello guys,

Welcome to the beautiful month of June! Are you as excited as I am?..well you should be because we are going on a roller coaster ride with lots of inspiring posts, breathtaking videos, quotes, pictures and everything lovely you can think of. Thanks for your visits to my blog and thanks for all your comments. As always to inspire is why we are here and this month is not going to be different.

Today I bring three lovely poems about the beautiful gay month of June.

Enjoy!

IF NOT FOR JUNE

If not for June,
My memories of Winter in December...
With a wish to witness,
The freshness of Spring March would bring...
Would not still remain so vivid.
As if only yesterday visited.
If not for June.

If not for June,
My eyesight would not be teased...
By the freedom felt in Summer,
With hopes that linger of those things I could do,
Under clear skies showing bright Sun.
And seeing the fun shared by nearly everyone,
If not for June.

And if not for June I would not be able to reminisce,
From so many experiences I could pick.
June seems to be the month I can do this.
With a thankfulness I am still in the midst,
Of a year that appears to have just begun.
With so much left to offer before it is done.
And for me this happens only when June comes.

MY LOVELY JUNE


O come sweet June, my lovely June
The month when first the roses bloom -
A wondrous, colourful display
By sunlight kissed throughout the day,
So chasing all my cares away.

And fixed above, the starry bull,
Glittering there, so beautiful,
Adorning thus the northern skies
Whene'er the dazzling daylight dies -
‘Tis like a glimpse of Paradise.

Then climbing high in heav'ns expanse
The sun ascends, to so enhance
The splendour that is all around.
O June, fair June, wherein abound
The seasons gifts, which full surround,

With flower petals soft unfurled
And vines around the trellis curled.
The grass is sweet and richly green
With shining luminescent sheen -
Your face, my June, a beauteous scene.

Carnations flourish through the years
Bursting forth from Mary's tears,
And Honeysuckle-scented air,
No other fragrance does compare -
I seek to ever tarry there.

O June, dear June, for you I wait -
My longing ever shall abate
When you recur with all your grace
To lift my heart and light my face,
And thus my soul to full embrace.

Such pure delight, all heaven sent,
O June, my June, you bring content.
‘Tis you for whom I ever yearn,
Awaiting thus your prized return -
O June, my lovely June sojourn.

THE MONTH OF JUNE.

In the month of June
I composed a melodic tune
Ahead of time before the clocks struck noon
Later at night I waited to sing it out in full moon

June is the smell of sweet fresh roses
A beautiful rosy sixth month it exposes
And with the sweetness of each day
The sky clouds smile brightful and gay

Good Afternoon, My little summer butterflies
In June we can play where yellow meadows lie
We can observe little rivers flow into lagoons
And the mellifluent wildlife retreat into cocoons

And if love where to blossom it will do so quite soon
Because there is something about the month of June
As the longest daylight hours a year balloon
All marriage hopes are not left marooned

June is a beautiful month to sing
And listen to loud wedding bells ring
In this long awaited summer month
The mood of happiness is all June fronts

Camping At La Casona del Valle.

Camping yay!
Hi guys, have you ever gone camping, maybe as a kid or something?...yes?Well lucky you, I never got that opportunity as a kid even as a teenager, am now well into adulthood and I finally get the chance to go camping deep in the mountains, you can imagine how excited I was.

The experience.
La Casona del Valle is the name of the breathtaking camping resort we stayed in, its situated deep in the mountain town of Garganta de los Montes which sits on the outskirts of Madrid. On the whole it was very enjoyable, camping is mostly outdoor activities,hiking,bicycling,playing games etc. I'm not much of an outdoor person, especially when its cold and rainy...so the whole experience could have been better for me...but I loved the food and all the indoor activities...yeah, sorry to burst your bubble.



I hope you enjoyed this post.

A Walk With Virtue.

Hey guyz,
Its a beautiful day to be alive, the birds are singing, the sun is out and all is well with the world.
Well, for me, my saturday morning just got even better as I came across this lovely and inspiring video of President Barack Obama taking a surprise walk along the Washington Dc area speaking to and shaking hands with everyday Americans who happened to be in the area. What a huge and memorable surprise it must have been for them, some even had pictures of him...Wow!
As I watched the video, a line from one of my best poems ever came to mind..
'If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch......then you'll be a man. (If by Rudyard Kipling).
Also this lovely bible verse occured to me...
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8 KJV
As we rise higher in life and attain to great heights lets remember to keep the virtues that helped us gain success like humility and honesty and sincerity,and accountabilty. Not forgetting to be graceful and kind to everyone,treating others with respect they deserve.
Watch the video.

Curvy Fabulosity.

Hi people,
Kenya's Corazon Kwamboka
The pressure to bend over backwards to beat our bodies into the shape and body size Society and Media has conjured up for us is one many face today and sadly, in order to 'belong' men as well as women the world over have fallen victims. No wonder the constant rise in plastic surgeries, augumentations and all what not.
But, as always,there are some, amongst us, who will not be boxed-in by the status quo, who push the boundaries and dare to stand out regardless.
Dont sit and bemoan your body type or even size.What you need primarily is to have body confidence. Embrace the body you already have, your body is not a battleground and neither is your valued measured by pounds. Love yourself.
Next, you got to learn to maximise your body potentials. Learn to dress your body appropriately. Love yourself by eating healthy and staying fit. Exercise daily to burn out the extra, there is a thin line between curviness and flabbiness,make sure you dont cross the line. Carry yourself well and walk tall...and thats it...lol.
Let me introduce in pictures some spectacular ladies that put the C in curves and the Fab in fabulous...their names are linked to their biographies, so make sure you click and enjoy.

"When life throws curves at you...you flaunt it"
See ya.

A Pink Escalade, A Promise Kept.

Hi people,
In todays' world, people often come up with "valid excuses" why they could not or have not kept their promises and well, rightly so, judging from the unpredictable nature of this phenomena called life. But for someone somewhere from Miami, Teddy Bridgewater, nothing was going to stand in his way. He had made a promise to his Mama at the age of four...See how he fulfilled his promise in the lovely Video below. Wow!.
