Sunrise chasing.

My previous post, Sunrise for Breakfast, described the pleasure I had taken in appreciating one of the most beautiful sunrises I've seen in a long time last month in London..

Since then, catching the sunrise has fast become one of my favourite parts of the day. 

I've been staying in Yorkshire, in Otley, as I've been shooting a lot with a company in Leeds. To be at the studio for 9am I have to wake up well before dawn and get myself on one of those tiresomely long local buses which never fails to be late and definetely does go around ALL the houses before it reaches Leeds. 
However, instead of getting frustrated and exhausted by this now almost daily commute.. I've accepted and learnt to see the beauty in it. I have almost an hour to myself, to sit, to drink my coffee and to watch as the sun makes it's way into the sky.. Each day differently, yet always so beautifully and incredibly calming to watch.

I've come to rather love these morning spent travelling through to Leeds; excited for what show nature will put on for me in the sky today. 
It's this; taking these moment of real time to appreciate life, and the world we live in that really count. Moments only you can experience at that very moment, if you open your eyes and your mind to really living.

With love x.

The Monk That Sold His Ferrari

I mentioned in one of my previous posts that I've been enjoying studying a really great book written by Robin S. Sharma called The Monk That Sold His Ferrari, it is a brilliantly inspiring read...

It a fair to say this book if quickly becoming a favourite... 'Awaken yourself to the power of your own mind to make things happen. Once you do, the universe will conspire with you to work magic in your life.' 'There was one quotation, however; that he carried deep within his heart; one that encapsulated all the values he had come to cherish... The words came from the great Indian philosopher Patanjali... Julian then showed me the card. The quotation read: When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extra

A little perspective.

I was talking to someone recently and conversation led on to us sharing our mutual appreciation for this beautiful quote from the film American Beauty.. A long standing favourite of mine, I think it is one of the most beautiful pieces of script I've seen in a film. It's one of those moments where all the world seems to stop and all you can do is watch and listen as everything you've ever felt gets expressed so wonderfully. I remember the first time I saw American Beauty, and the first time I saw the scene in the movie when this quote is spoken, I wanted to rewind and listen to it again and again so every word of it could soak into my soul, I never wanted to forget those beautiful words and how they made me feel. Back then, I was still very unhappy.. And those words meant something else. Now I read them and feel something different. I can almost relate even more.. As something horrible did  happen to me, I was not dealt the kindest card, and I could  be pissed off about that
