This is a very first world problems kind of post, but today my parents came home from a trip to Turkey with perfume. I LOVE PERFUME. So far I usually just go for Dolce & Gabbana, but this time mother got me Valentina - it's not what I would have picked, but it smells so pretty and sweet, and it's exactly how I want my life to be.  IT's WONDERFUL. Smell is my favorite sense because its so well linked to memory.For a dreamer such as myself, the right sent transports me to another world or in the presence of another person. Anyway, the ad for the perfume is great - and so is the song to match it. Enjoy x

I like you. I shall share you with the world. I shall also excuse your intense facials, as I realize you are feelin' the music. Nice covers. 

Well, I've been going through the motions
Wonder if anyone can see
That I been looking for something
Have you been looking for me

I ain't the same no more
In fact I have changed from before
No, you ain't gonna find me
Oh no, cause I'm not who I used to be

Well, I used to be a little girl
Just a smiling, feeling free
I wasn't worried bout nobody
Nobody worried bout me

I know I am not showing any love for the chicos - but there are some amazing lady souls out there. One of which is Maisey Rika. I was listening to the radio this morning, and she did an acoustic version of the song below. I seriously just started crying. She is breathtaking, and this video is the reason why I want to settle down and raise my children in New Zealand. Love this lady x

Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learn,
If your knowledge were your wealth then it would be well earned

If we were made in his image then call us by our names
Most intellects do not believe in god but the fear is just the same

Oh on and on and on and on (my cypher keeps moving like a rollin stone)
Whew on and on and on and on (all night till the break of dawn)
I go on and on and on and on (my cypher keeps moving like a rollin stone)
Ohh on and on and on and on (godamnit imma sing my song)

I want to raise my glass and celebrate, but I am still leaping. I want to touch the ground, or smile as I soar past the stars. I need an answer, but I'll just leap into faith. Fate. Opportunity. My head is buzzing from the weekend of promises and dreams. I need some NZ on air. 

I don't know the way to go to make it to the other side

move on move on move on move on

see get get get get get get your money 

move on move on move on move on 

and I'm gonna raise my glass.

 I have been at my new job now for about 4 weeks. Everyday I go to work and I am smiling. I love the 3 people I work with, and I finally found a company I want to grow with. 
Today I was getting ready to meet management who had flown over from Sweden and USA to meet with us. They sat us down in a small all white room, in the crappy building where our office is located. The CEO that delivered the news was a beautiful, elegant, typical Swedish woman. She smelt like clean laundry. Pen in hand, I was ready to take my notes. Plan for the year ahead. 

Then she dropped the bomb. "We are shutting down Australia and NZ". 

Wow. This is what I found out just 7 hours ago. I had taken a huge risk to change my career. I dropped law, for an international company, and now I can only stay here till July next year? If that? There will be no work. Nothing to do as we slowly have to cancel the exchange program. 
I didn't know what to think. I mean, I thought about moving overseas - within the company, so I just expressed that to management. They said they'd try to help me find a job within the company somewhere overseas - but where will that be? Will that ever be? 

I don't really know what to think right now. I thought I had found my dream job. My dream company. I can't go back to law. What have the few last days been? 
Life is truely what happens when you are busy making other plans....

To top things off, we had an awkward dinner with management, as if to celebrate!? I tried to schmooze, but I was not in the mood. At one point the elegant Swedish CEO turned to me and said, " I watched a great Indian movie on the plane, and you know what? There was a great quote on there 'everything will work out in the end, and if it doesn't then its not the end!' ...then she raised her glass and said ''heres to new beginnings''. 
Whatever the hell that means. 

I'll keep you posted, but this song was what was going on through my head as the news was being delivered today.
