Birthday

Hey guys!

I just realised “kahliya-logue” has just swept past it`s first birthday by about a month..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAHLIYA-LOGUE YEAH!!

 

 

It has grown as such an inseparable part of me that I havent looked back for one minute..

Ive been enjoying my time here with all of you so much..and I hope you have too..!

As I have mentioned already here and there..its been a transformational year.A year of  reconnecting to roots,reflecting,healing and visioning.

I believe this important period of my life is coming to an end and making room for resolutions,decisions and actions.

I am these days in the midst of  building an important humanitarian project,a longtime dream which I have finally decided to implement,and I am very excited.Hopefully,if all goes well,I will be able to inform you shortly about this project,which will have its own site and blog,and I hope to see you there aswell!

My creative work with Kahliya has taken the back burner all this time as I had a lot going on,but Kahliya and its blog is an important part of me which I wish to continue to develop and hope to find the way to do the both.

Funny enough it is also soon my own birthday..and this makes me feel as if everything is coming to a symbolic point of “birth”.

To wrap up this whole chapter just before I begin a new one,I will be away on a very important voyage of roots..

Once again I would like to thank each and everyone of you who have visited me here and left your insights.With your warmth,generosity and wisdom I have been nourished,inspired and able to grow.

THANK YOU!

I am looking forward to continuing our fruitful exchanges.

I wish you all blessings of light*

I love you all!

Mia

Off to see the Wizard..

Hey Guys!

I admit it`s been slow around here lately..well slow in terms of cooking. Truth be told I`ve hardly seen the kitchen lately,even though there are tons of things I`d like to share..but that part is a bit on hold at the moment.

Otherwise,actually it`s been very busy..those who have already understood,I am in a bit of a transitional period this last year,and wasn`t quite clear about where I was headed,though I tried to continue my creative work ,there were so many things I wanted to develop that just had to wait.

I feel I am hopefully finally on to something/somewhere and trying to check things out to make it happen.I`ll be taking off again next week to do exactly that!Hopefully I will return with some happy news,and maybe finally I can throw my anchor into a small piece of this earth to create the mini universe I so dream of.

Wish me luck,because if it does happen,I will have so many new delightful things to share with you all !

In continuation to my post message of love  I would like to wish you all

HAPPY VALENTINE`S DAY !

May we remember to genuinely appreciate,cherish and forever celebrate Love. May we call upon the energy of love to sooth our pains,ease our despair,and regenerate our vitality.May we transmit and offer love generously and abundantly ,even and despite ,  moments of doubt , fear or anger:  to our lovers; families and friends; neighbors and even our enemies, but most of all – to ourselves.

Learning to love ourselves sincerely and truly ,in full forgiveness,with our beauty and ugliness,our strength and weakness, is celebrating the creation of life, as it encompasses all – the GOOD and the BAD. The only true journey to ‘true love’  enabling us to love and accept others whoever they may be,with much less judgement.

 

Celebrate yourself,your loved ones,the beauty around you, a lovely flower, a breathtaking landscape, a great book, an amazing dish..all this is love!

I encountered this adorable photo adjoining a lovely post written by Sriram from his blog century,titled-

‘Unusual friendship’.

To which I would like to add..

How lovely can it be to allow our pure souls to connect and experience sincere love and friendship disregarding the aquired  and customary barriers of ’society’ and ‘education’ ?

Is it not time to realise that there is so much to learn from ‘the other’ , ’ the different’ ,while at the same time there is much more in common than we realise? Why do people tend to feel so threatened by someone who is different than themselves?

Food for thought..for a lovely Valentine`s day..! Have a good one!

All my Love,

Message of LOVE

 

 

It is the season of Love with Valentine`s day coming up,and I would like to put an emphasis on the word LOVE.I believe it is exactly what is needed much more of on this earth at the moment,for it is the lack of Love,which is causing us to act in fear,anger and pain ,believing this  can restore the harmony ,tranquility and Love we all so yearn for…but it is my humble belief that ONLY LOVE can bring LOVE..

I agree, it takes an enormous amount of courage to step up,reach out ,extend a hand to ‘the other’ whilst the prior offense and pain  are  fresh in our memory,but  ’forgiveness is light’  and by taking that ‘chance’ on forgiveness and compassion,by respecting and opening ourselves to the other,we open ourselves to join hand in hand  in respect and appreciation of the greatest gift of all, the gift that GOD has given us, the GIFT of LIFE.

At the very least maybe we can begin by trying  to generate as much love as possible when and where we can ,taking into consideration more and more ‘others’ ,being whom we would normally not care to think of,within our comfortable and safe boundaries,slightly stretching them as we go along..just a thought for valentine`s day.. 

We are all in this together!

 

Bearing these thoughts in mind, I am creating a series of  crocheted heart -pouch necklaces ,as gifts for Valentine`s day to sell in my online handcraft shop,while I choose to DONATE the benefit of their sale to UNICEF who is currently raising funds to purchase urgent necessities for the children of Gaza,in a symbolic effort to recreate balance of love in the world;and as an act of pure compassion as human suffering is human suffering,and we should never close our hearts to the suffering of others.

 

Think of it as an opportunity of offering your love to your loved one aswell as to an unknown child in need at the same time;an opportunity of aiding in restoring the balance of LOVE in this world.

GOD BLESS,

Compassionate creativity

What a highly inspiring way to begin this New Year!

In the midst of all the craziness going on in this world,it is just so uplifting to see people take the real needs of this world seriously ,set with a pure value system and a heart of Gold!

I read this article on Etsy`s handmade blog  interviewing Chuck, a Jewelry  Designer who owns the line Downtothewiredesigns and has an online shop on ETSY.

Call me a dreamer,but I believe there is a revolution going on,maybe slow and maybe quiet,but it`s there..More and more people are tired of a reality inwhich material power overrules, disregarding the needs of others,destroying the basic natural harmonic balance of all creation!

Chuck does not suffice with creating beauty with his pure hands and soul,contributing already in changing the existing monopoly of Mass production,aiding in changing our value systems,but allows himself to doubt even more about his work and contribution to humankind,searching endlessly for ways to give and make a change,he has decided to give of his creations to charity in many different ways.

I was deeply moved to learn about his quiery and inner debate whether he was giving enough,as I was equally glad to see the immense amount of handcrafters responding to him sharing the same values!Read the full article here.

 I want to thank Chuck for the inspiration,and Etsy for the article.Etsy is a blessed initiative in itself bringing together and promoting  handcrafters from all over the world creating a beautiful power of change!

I am proud to be part of Etsy as I am equally proud to be part of a growing population of  people who care and search to make a difference!

The best

 

I`ve been searching all over town,for the best looking models

to present my creations…and what was I thinking…they were here all

along!

My fabulous adorable nieces…not only are they beautiful,but with 

their Amazing loving energy I could knit endlessly!

This week was my birthday
