Hello Darlings,
I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend. I spent mine with family including our newest member: a beautiful 5 month old English Bulldog baby girl, named Bonnie. She’s a little ball of fire with an attitude that is larger than life. She has brought joy and energy to our household.
As dog owners know, walking becomes a regular part of life with a canine companion. In our family, an hour long evening walk in the park is our regular routine. Having an 11 year old Cocker Spaniel and 5 month old English Bulldog is a challenge but never the less it is always fun.
Hello Darlings,
There are days when the city comes alive with events. Thursday, June 16th was one such day. Toronto was abuzz with multiple events. For me, this meant attending four soirees in 12 hours. I went from a lunch to preview Converse’s fall 2011 line, to Flare + Guess’s Launch Party, to H&M pre-MMVA party, and finally to the launch of YYZ Magazine.
During such events, a girl is bound to speak to a number of new and interesting people, as mingling and networking is one of the purposes of these events; however not every conversation is a winner, and there are times when a girl is stuck in the sticky situation of talking to a nosy stranger. Socializing is definitely a skill that one acquires over time, and I assure you that I am far from being good at it. In person, I am quite shy and reserved, and sparking a conversation and making best-friends with strangers is not my area of expertise.
Hello Darlings,
As some of you may know, I am an avid reader. This time around, I just finished reading the sequel to the hugely successful memoir, Eat, Pray, Love.
In my eyes, Elizabeth Gilbert is a very talented and expressive author whose work always resonates with me. In her first book, Gilbert not only explored the inner torment of following a difficult divorce, but also the mind’s ability to mend itself and move on. With her breathtaking descriptions of Italy, India and Bali, her ability share the most dramatic moment with a hint of humor, and her unyielding optimism, Gilbert’s first book has guided thousands of women through heartbreak. In her second book, Gilbert looks at the institution of marriage from the perspective of a modern woman and a critic.
Hello Darlings,
How many of us have spent hours discussing all matters of love and relationships over cocktails, coffees, dinners and definitely shopping trips. Men, relationships, marriages, break-ups, love, babies, divorces hold a special place in the realm of girl talk. Despite this insight, love and relationships remained an area that I was not very keen on discussing on With Love…
Why not discuss an area that is so natural to women? Because relationships are complicated, and discussing emotions is not my strength. If it doesn’t work, then don’t fix it. If it works, then nourish it. It is great to work at a relationship, but not at love. Love is supposed to be natural, never feeling like a job. Well, for those who have been curious about my views on relationships and marriage: this is it.
