<span lang="EN-US">I work for
a newspaper, I write articles on a weekly basis, it depends on what is going on
in my country and in the world. Yet, that is not my job, that is not what I am obsessed
with on a daily basis. My job is to be happy, to feel happy to take time out
and just enjoy life. Work is part of the whole process of living and I am not
the kind of person obsessed with the career thing or inpatient to beat or
compete with a coworker. I love my job because it is fun, because I feel good
going to work, because I do what I love to do when I love to do it. It is based
on creativity and continuous growth and the learning and unlearning processes
going on besides to the financial freedom it offers. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

friends (we need people to charge our batteries), to read a good book, to take a
walk, to write a good article, to study and indulge in a huge amount of papers
to review, to watch tutorials and to try new ideas, to travel to be into new places,
to meet deadlines, to commit to a new project, to go to the gym, to watch a
beautiful movie, to fall in love, to have more friends, to chat, to eat pizza,
to learn Italian, to watch Youtube, to sing out loud, to dance like a crazy, to
smile, to have your heart beats quickly every time you see a mini-cooper, to
promise yourself to be better the following day, to meditate, to clean your
room, to make projects, to wear a new bag every day, to teach, to have new
students, to attend workshops, to be trained online, to drink plenty of water, to escape boring
classes, to meet your teachers, to take a cub, to hold a plane ticket..</span></div>

work in the newspaper, I was finally home. My TV was open, my tablet in my
hands and all my fantasies about a SPA during the evening or just a feet
massage while reading some magazines evaporated. I was too tired to do
anything. I have just hanging the phone with a friend of mine when I had an absurd thought in mind, I have a lot of clothes but I
always feel that I have nothing to wear.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi;"> On my Facebook ,I wrote something that
summarizes this idea: “<i>I have faced a lot of challenges in my life, I
witnessed many crossroads and for most of the times I managed to make a
decision except for one thing .. it takes me hours to pick the outfit of the
day, my wardrobe is full of clothes but I have nothing to wear</i>!”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi;">Every single
day I was helpless in front of my wardrobe. I am not a shopaholic (even if my
fav movie is “The Devil Wears Prada” and I adore watching the movie ‘Shopaholic’),
and I don’t really give much attention to brands if it is a Prada a Calvin Klein
or a Channel (I extremely want to buy the black small channel bag but anyway)
what it matters is that an item suits me and I feel good wearing it. However, when I
thought about all of that, I figured out that this sentence reflects a lot of my
daily habits and routines: starting from different levels of appreciation to misusing
creativity and the abundance of clutter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

meaningfulness of getting rid of clutter for happiness was one of the brilliant
ideas that ‘The Happiness Project’ has shared. However, since a young age I was
someone that loves to buy: clothes, food, accessories, decorating items and
every time that I empty my closet and get rid of unusual stuff I feel better;
then I learnt that clarity and newness is totally related to emptiness. I
decided then to write a series of articles about that: how this expression a
lot of women repeat can reflect a whole philosophy if we just learn to see what
it reveals. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of projects going on now, one is my friendship project (which I will discuss
in a seperate article) consisting of reviewing all of relationships and starting
new ones. I also work on my nagging tasks project (all the things that I need
to do and kept off) My financial project, however, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">consists</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> of new strategy called
SPEND SLOW : I decided to work with 2 specific techniques to keep it going (I
will discuss it in </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">a seperate</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> article too). So my SPEND SLOW project requires that
I minimize my spending and start saving. And here we go the whole challenge and
dilemma: CLOTHES. Besides the fact that I like everything I see on stores
especially expensive items, I shopped today from a second hand market. However,
my clothing style is based on wearing different styles everyday. It really
depends on my mood and also my thoughts; or looks that I want to try (childish
look for today). So I opened my closet and started to create new styles
(styling videos on YouTube helped a lot), because spending is under control.</span></div>

to use one item for several looks and it worked like magic. This image of me
using my mind to see more options than the closet has to offer, taught me the
first lesson: There is always something more plus appreciate what you have and
be creative. Our eyes are extremely important in this process of perception and
what we have to do is to just pay attention. I remember when I was at college;
unusual and ordinary things caught my eyes, those which usually do not catch
anyone’s eyes. A tree, the sky the sun : normal things that we usually do not
see, I used to see and appreciate them , however after a while when I got a job
and my schedule became ‘fuller’ (busy girl) I did not recall that I have done
that but a few times. This closet thing made me aware that I should use my
heart to see and not my eyes, in order to be able to see other’s potential or
the possibility to learn more or appreciate the moment more than before.</span>
Beauty is everywhere we need only to pay attention, that is the point. <o:p></o:p></div>

And this is what I was doing for a while, buying Lotto Tickets, figuratively speaking. I made this commitment once when I noticed that opportunities were jumping on me and I did not make a good use of them. I started trying, asking and making sure that I give whatever it is a try. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, this time I have this big opportunity before me and I am afraid to apply because I am afraid I lose it. But isn't that stupid, I am going to lose if I don't apply, right?! yes I am! </div>

Heading to my internship organization today, and while I was in the bud, I was reading something about the Fun of Failure', Gretchen in her " Happiness project" made it really seem so FUN. I have even thought about a movie that inspired me a lot " The School of Life": the movie has a very strong message, enjoy failure and disappointment because it is part of our lives and it is our life anyway we should enjoy it whatever happens! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'Try trying' was my motto for a while, I was even teaching it to my students, especially those who thought they were not good enough, I kept saying challenge yourself so I think I should challenge myself too. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The restrictions and limitations do only exist in our minds, we create them and we wonder from where they have come. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All the negative thoughts are still in my mind, however I am going to do it anyway, especially that the note on my cookies when I was at a Vietnamese restaurant today said: " <i>Being aware of your fears will improve your life</i>"!</div>

<br />
The perfect day for Space Needle<br />
<br />
Did I get used to it? to all life here? to the buildings? to the organisation I am having my internship with? to the hotel where I lived for almost 4 weeks now? to the receptionist? to the weather? the streets? to Seattle? Maybe I am and maybe I am not. What I know about myself is that I am someone who adjusts in minutes. I do accept any situation and I can take the best out of it. However, my first days in Seattle were kind of challenge.<br />
<br />
After spending a month in Berlin, it was not easy for me to adjust, the United States was not the way I expected and the American movies do definitely tell a different story. was I disappointed? Maybe! But I felt sad I don't know why, I was doing exactly what I wanted to do, however I felt disconnected. the place, the people, the weather did not matter, it was about me. I remember taking the Bus once and repeating few affirmations : I am having fun! everything is Great! and you know what.. it WORKED!<br />
<br />
Therefore, after I started paying attention to the beauty about Seattle, I can definitely write about it. When I say Seattle, I automatically think about the Space Needle, the Pike Place, Capital Hill, the Pacific Place, and Shopping. Ross is my favorite place, I bought tones of dresses and I cannot ever get enough, however no more space in my luggage and no more money in my pocket. Yet, I love to spend time on the Union Lake, just enjoying the peaceful view that calming feeling that shakes my being when I sit there. I like to walk in Seattle and contemplate the nature. I like book shopping, there are lot of books that I still have to buy but I certainly cannot. However I bought a lot of great books, one of them was <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Happiness-Project-Morning-Aristotle-Generally/dp/006158326X"><i>The Happiness project </i></a> and as I think that <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Aleph-Vintage-International-Paulo-Coelho/dp/0307744574">Aleph</a></i> was the perfect book for my trip in Berlin, The happiness Project was a perfect pick for Seattle, it helped change my mood and feel better about the experience in general. I am reading now the chapter about work. In my way to work today, while I was taking the bus I was reading the book, and Gretchen said "no writer actually loves the writing part". O.K. so that was not just about me Thank God, every writer does. I have always believed that my true calling is to become a writer I love to write but I hate the writing part. Thank God nothing wrong about me :)<br />

This is me protesting on May Day :)<br />
<br />
The people here are very friendly, they invite us for launch and dinner, would like to know more about us and one of the things that I really enjoyed the most was the invitation to have launch with a family in Braibridge Island, I took the ferry and I spent a great time with a lovely family.<br />
When it comes to my internship, I work with an organisation that supports refugee women, the office is full of different women from different countries and religions however they manage to communicate smoothly, you won't ever notice the differences. Here I learnt from them a lot, and I won't ever forget Tigist, she is a sweetheart and she helped and did a lot to me, so thank you Tigist.<br />
Well, being here for almost 4 weeks now, made me feel that I live here, it is not a touristic trip where you see the best of the country and you leave, I've actually 'lived' for a month here and I am left with few days to go before heading to D.C.<br />

<span lang="EN-US">My first
week in Berlin is over, it was full of magic moments, joy and unique
experiences. I fell in love with people, restaurants, malls, streets, snow and
someone. All the experiences will be unforgettable and this conclusion I’ve
come to remains always true: I am life and I am that kind of person that
practices the art of living, and I like that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Lying down
on my bad, I remembered myself saying who would ask for “Someone like you”
(Adel’s song) I adored this song: the rhythm, the lyrics and Adel’s voice are
amazing but I discussed once this idea with a close friend of mine and I said I would never ask for
someone like him whoever he is. I will look always for someone better than him.
Today, I listened to that song and I was wondering I really want someone like
you, maybe because I know I will never have you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, the
idea of feeling this way itself is enough, newness is always related to travel and here I am in Berlin
falling in love with someone I am not even allowed to think about. The beauty
of this city pumped from his eyes. But Berlin seems like me shy to show her
real beauty, to make people know how special
she is out of fear. Fear that she would be taken as a bragger, fear of being
taken as a liar. Well, people won’t believe that all of this can exist in
someone.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the
week, I tried Turkish and Indian food for the first time, liked both of them
and the salvation thing worked. I put off all that burden I have been carrying,
I stopped worrying and I laughed from the bottom of my heart, I cried, smiled
and learnt a lot. 3 weeks to go and they will be amazing.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">When I wrote my first post about
Berlin yesterday I was about to sleep and I've just figured out all the
horrible grammar and spelling mistakes I've made. I am a little sensitive to
writing mistakenly. I don't want to make language mistakes. That feeling
is becoming stressful especially after starting to teach because it is a huge responsibility,
this is why I am not going to correct them I would only accept them this time
so please forgive me<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Well, today is my
second day in DW, it has been so interesting so far, however it was not
stunning as I expected not that bright shiny or surprising, yet a lot of people
are friendly, there is this anchor who is very sweet and modest. The whole
thing seemed doable I really can do this, it is not that big deal. About that
feeling I have been dealing with lately everyday in my way to job it is totally
different now. Well maybe TV is my thing, those laughs and fun chats
preparing an episode is worth trying. MAYBE!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Today, I was
smiling again, Berlin is very beautiful at night, the lights, the old buildings
and the beautiful sky were magical. I think I am falling in love with the city
and I am falling in love with myself again.. This salvation trip is working and
my heart is beating again, I met nice and interesting people who helped
and assisted me but today I met Arwa.. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I met Arwa in Berlin!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">When I was informed about my trip
to Berlin, I was overwhelmed, I did not think about how valuable the training
is or how much the trip would be, I was thinking about the hours I need to
teach and the schedule that I need to follow in order to be ready by March the
second. And I was ready everything I prepared was useful, however that being overwhelmed
and getting more stressed out by doing unstoppable stuff during 2 weeks in
order to be able to travel, were alarming signs: this is not who I am! I don't
think this way! I am positive! and I find always a way to enjoy my time! so
what is happening to me?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Well, yeah, I feel
upset, lazy and that my life and my job have no meaning, I have been trying to
watch movies, read books, drink coffees and hang out with friends, nothing of
that did work. And then here I am in Berlin, a beautiful city but I don't feel
present I feel that my soul is absent, this is way I chose to fight this is not
a simple work trip .. this is a fight a trip for salvation a trip that would
get me back a trip that would save me and free my soul from stress, calculation
and conditional life that I have gave up too few months ago. Things have to
change, they are changing very slowly and I still feel that I brought up my
prison with me but I know that every day would be a good opportunity to destroy
a piece of that wall of stress and useless stuff that I have been surrounding
myself with like they destroyed the Berlin wall!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">By the 30 of
March, my wall should be destroyed and my soul should be freed and the beauty
of this city should be seen. That is a challenge, a challenge to keep!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">I don’t know why it still feels the same, even
though you found someone else, even though I have never met you, I have never
seen you.. You moved on that is for sure I moved on me too but they are years
and it is not easy to omit those years from my life when you were literally my
life.. I let you go times ago and I have my life. You know I did change
totally.. I am finally that person I’ve dreamt of being and I painted my room,
I work out three time a week, I teach, I finished my Italian class, I traveled,
I fell in love, I had dates, I have good friends, and I am loving myself more
than I did ever before.. But even though you hurt me, even though I hated you,
even though you are far away and maybe for that sometimes I miss you.. I would
love to have that friend again.. the one that I can tell everything and only
today I figured out how a hurtful loss was losing you.. I miss the friend that
doesn’t judge, doesn’t hurt, and doesn’t pretend that was honest even though I
was skeptical. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

about my students about my dreams about my manicures the colors that I don’t
have yet and the places where I have been lately . I would love to tell you that I am
going to bowl this week, that I have a lot of secret lovers and that I can buy
whatever I want, that I will visit that place that we have dreamt of together .
I miss your links, recommendations, books and movies.. I was immature and I did
not know how to deal with it, all what I wanted is to be friends all the time,
but I know it is impossible and I know you have your choices now as I had once.
I am not in love with you, you know that but I am in friendship with you. Love
is blind, friendship is clairvoyant.. and I still miss that friend.. and that
was my biggest loss!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

everybody is free ! Free to think to do and to be maybe even free to hurt
anyone they want..No I did not hurt anyone recently and I am not writing this
in order to justify whatsoever I might did. It is totally the inverse.. I have
been hurt badly recently and I somehow managed to survive but I am here to
write that everyone has the right to hurt people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

someone that believes in the freedom of forgiveness and letting go.. but here I
am not able to let go.. not able to forgive it doesn’t hurt at all now but I am
still not able to remove or turn that page. I am still blaming that person and
fascinated with her hypocrisy .He is a phenomenon and I am here to defend his
right to hurt maybe it is my only way out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">What I feel
is my responsibility it is not anyone else’s responsibility.. No one can decide
for me I let him hurt and I maybe enjoyed the victim attitude.. What he did was
huge after all it is not descent to play with people’s feelings but what I did
was being a pride for envy and negative thoughts eating me up! But until when ?!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"> I was wondering how to start my blog post
about today.. But what could be better than “Yod Abyssinia” a typical
traditional Ethiopian restaurant where we had our dinner for tonight several
minutes ago! What a beautiful restaurant, I was not brave enough to choose
traditional food or bread while making my dish, at least not in the beginning
of our week.. Yolanda (a journalist with us from Namibia with whom I become
friends we spend the day together and we did all things together, I like her
name and it means purple flower!) and I chose to keep it safe and to try
traditional food the last day!</span></div>

It is! Well when we discuss life choices, we usually ignore our choice of sorrow. It is so much safe to be sad, upset, helpless, miserable and loser. When you are there, you’re there!

But, happy? Are you kidding me! All that laughing and smiles and plans and brilliant mornings, promising tomorrows, that is scaring, that is absurd! So we stick with it, we develop a strange habit of faithfulness not to friends or spouses, but to depression, breakdowns, and suffering. It becomes a ritual, we turn into detectors, we detect reasons, imperfections, and anything that would serve that ‘highly depressing self-image’ we feed it and watch it grows. Any new problem, mistake, yelling boss is a proof that what we chose was right! <o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="apple-style-span"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black;background:white;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">It is a bubble that grows slowly but surely, till we finally become sadness’ worshipers. We love it, we actually enjoy it. It is safe, attracts attention and caring, and above all costless!

Every day, I open my wardrobe and wonder what one can be the most suitable for today? The one that feels comfortable, the one that feels attractive, or the one that feels right; and I usually pick the one that feels me. On the road, there are always trees and there are always faces and there is always me: the same me. The tape is on and all the things that happen suit it flow just as it flows, and time passes so fast, so slowly, so strangely. I was stuck in the middle of something, in the middle of illusion. I was playing the same role, pretending, claiming, but I am now sent free.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:16.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">One day I picked the orange, I drove a little and I missed it up. I forgot to stop at the right time, I forgot to say the right words, I forgot to wear me just under the t-shirt. I forgot me on the book of last night on the song that says with you I will go. I forgot me stuck in the middle of illusion, I forgot me and I made me lost, I walked alone for some time. But I am back in order to catch me again, I am back to live me again, I am back to be free again. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:16.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">I forgive myself for being so truthful, I forgive myself for doing the right thing, I forgive myself for being afraid and I forgive myself for being overwhelmed, I forgive myself for being not right not wrong.

My heart was singing, I write about that, I write about this. All the process of writing is boring, tiring, exhausting. I forgive writing. I love writing. I miss writing. I forgot myself in one the papers on my teen diary. I wrote so sincerely about life, about happiness, about me. I loved me. I forgive me. I am free.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:16.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">One day I chose the blue, it was early, it was morning.
