The Need to Look Up to See the Rainbow

Yesterday, I took the time for myself and re-arranging the furniture's in the living room, trying the feng shui set up to invite good vibes. I need to relax my mind and contemplate for something that is inspiring. It seemed that I was too busy for so long and doing that, I lost touch with my needs. Why do I work so hard? Or, is this the path that I wanted for my life? Something is missing! I don't want life would pass me by. "Come What May" has been my motto for the last years but, something is missing of what I am now. Hubby and I took a short ride around Cocoa, Titusville and Merritt Island yesterday. It rained few minutes and look what we saw, a beautiful rainbow.

I woke up at dawn time and I can't go back to sleep. I turned on the TV and saw a movie titled: CHAPLIN, a 1992 movie starring Robert Downey Jr. Charlie Chaplin is such an inspiration, my all-time favorite actor.

When I was in college, I bought a cassette tape (yap, not CD and it was on sale) titled: Little Tramp. It was an inspiring musical album about the life of Charlie Chaplin. Listening to that album inspire me to dream big and make it happen. Honestly, this is the low point of my life realizing that for 5 years, I quit dreaming.

The movie Chaplin is a wake-up call that while I still have the TIME to do something in my life, I should DO IT NOW and MAKE IT HAPPEN. Maybe, I was indeed looking down for those years. I only have to LOOK UP to see the RAINBOW and follow my dreams. If you have the same feeling, I think you should DO THAT TOO. Have a great weekend everyone! 

Anne Hathaway as Fantine in Les Miserables 2012

We love her as Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries. Who would ever forget that heartwarming character of the Princess of the Kingdom of Genovia right? I love that movie. Anne Hathaway is an Emmy Award-winning actress for her voice-over performance on The Simpsons. She is such a versatile actress, isn't she? Have you seen her in The Devil Wears Prada? Her character is Andrea Sachs, a college graduate who goes to New York, got a job as a co-assistant to a famous fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). If you haven't seen the movie, I advise you to watch it. Now, have you heard the song, I Dreamed a Dream from the musical Les Miserables? Well, Anne Hathaway will play Fantine and she will be singing that song in Les Miserables the movie. This movie will surely win the Oscars! Check out this video:

There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in times gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid

No song unsung
No wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we'll live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
