Movie night

I am sitting here on a Friday night, thinking it over. It wasn't that long ago when I used to spend a good Friday night out in the city. I felt like I wasted a month of my life if I did not go out and celebrate...who knows what this time....there was always a reason.
For a while I've been feeling exactly the opposite. I love the curves of our sofa, the comfort of my fluffy slippers, I love having my corner in the room where I could just sit around and do my thing. Non-interrupted, no hurry. I love the quietness of the room even when filled with some TV buzz.
I find a good reason to spend my Friday night at home. I am not alone. Not anymore. I hope never again. And I love watching movies right here in this place with this person I share it all. Tonight we picked a movie, recommended by a family friend. The first time we followed his recommendation we were really enjoying it. This time, the movie went way above our expectations. I am no film critic and I do not want to turn out like one. I am just human, and I always give myself the permission to jump into it, to feel it, to become part of it.
That's why I was shedding a tear or two in the end of it. It touched me. So. Much. The Intouchables (2011)
The mere fact it was based on a true story makes it even more exciting that it already is.

It reminded me this one little thing: we don't need much yo be happy. we just need to have a sense of humor. and a friend to share it with.
well, these would be three. but always better than none.

I hope you're having a fulfilling and delightful Friday night wherever you are spending it.
 

P.S. Today I am really, really thankful for my life, all the amazing people in it and this tender, loving goodnight kiss. So much love!

Inspiration Monday

Time flies these days. No, really! I was breezing through downtown Sofia yesterday afternoon, and I came across some wonderful shoe sales. One side of brain said I loved them, they were absolutely gorgeous and sexy, and if you could only imagine, they were even comfy! Then, other side of brain said it's a pair of sandals after all, and summer is almost over....so I went to other stores and saw other shoes and tried them on....and they were not the first shoes. But I felt too embarrassed to go back in there for the third time in 2 hours.

So I wake up this morning and one of the first things I think about is...you know what. Later on, I open facebook for a fresh dose of what my friends did in the last week or so, to come across this "sign". Well, it could have been a sign if I saw that yesterday I guess. Today I try to convince myself I did the right thing of walking away.

Anybody felt the same way? We should start a club and help each other overcome moments like this one.

I hope you have a great and inspirational week. And remember - life is short. Live it!

Inspiration Monday

Three things to live by this week...I would come back and repeatedly look at these, so they become my true mantra of the week. It's okay, take as many of these as you like and make them yours :)))))

Happy Monday!

Tsvetelina

We met in 1st grade and our friendship has only deepened since then. She has the biggest smile and the kindest heart.
She is one of the most beautiful women I've ever met - inside and out.

Graduation girls

I recently shot those two lovely girls just before their graduation party began. I did my best to shoot all of their colleagues in couples, triples, in work groups and everybody-ins.
Nevertheless, my favorite part of every session is portrait, portrait, portrait. This is why I am delighted to share the new additions to my most recent portfolio. Stay tuned for new work in the near future.

Ladies and gentleman, Miss Qna, & Miss Rali, both successfully graduated engineers!
