I consider myself a stained-glass window.
Closing no doors and covering no windows; I am the multi-colored glass with light filtering through me, in many different shades. Allowing light to shed and fall through me in a profusion of hues.
In this life, I search to be completely human: to feel, to give, to take, to laugh, to get lost, to be found, to dance, to love and to lust, to be so human. Each weekend for the next half year,
I will be traveling with my mates to different countries around the world.
This past weekend was Paris.
Notre Dame de Paris
What marvel and majesty~
Built in 1163, the mere grandeur brought me to tears.
Taking in the magnificence, I swear I felt angels around me.
Le Louvre Palace de Paris
Obligatory Louvre Shot
Heaven is a place on earth. 
Mona's getting all the action~
The Greek gods are sending us to hell for this one~
Sacred Coeur de Paris
The basilica is located at the summit of Montmartre, the highest point of the city. 
The Montmartre district is the principal center of Paris where all the artists gather.
In the early 1900s, maestros such as Pablo Picasso and Edgar Degas lived in this area.
Let's not forget about the yummy street food!
Or the decadent desserts!
Ladurée is the best known makers of macaroons in the world.
Miam! Miam!
Musée D'Orsay de Paris
Here I was blessed to see original, world-famous masterpieces
by painters including Monet, Van Gogh, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, and Sisley.
Next we stopped by the MOULIN ROUGE.
*For all you Moulin Rouge enthusiasts like me :
>> The Moulin Rouge. A kingdom of night time pleasures, where the rich and powerful come to play with the young and beautiful creatures of the underworld.
>> Love is like oxygen. Love is a many splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!
>>Why does my heart cry? Feelings I can't fight. You're free to leave me, but just don't deceive me. And please, believe me when I say I love you.
>> Can't fall in love? But a life without love, that-that-that's terrible!
>>You're going to be bad for business, I can tell.
And of course,
>> The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
Speaking of love:
Basket #1= Dinner
Basket#2= Tequila & Wine (aka José & Rosé)
Cheerfully preparing dinner for the gang as they kick back and sip mimosas~
Happiness is only real when shared.
From early mornings to late nights, live every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
From early mornings to late nights, live every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
Every moment is an opportunity to awaken.
So, awaken now--again and again.
