Wednesday Wanderings ... on Yellow

Woke up and decided to wear a colour I rarely do: yelllow.

Later that morning I was on my way to the Spanish exam. I chose one of the unmarked cds from the set of about 20 in my car that have random songs: 99% English and the other 1% Spanish, Turkish, and Greek. There is no way of knowing what songs are in what cds. Between home and la universidad there is time for only 2 songs

Of the 15!*20! choices, the first song that played randomly was "Yellow" by Coldplay: "look at the stars, look how they shine for you ... "

The second song that played on the way to my Spanish exam was one of the 3 Spanish songs, "Regresa Mi" by Thalia

And later on in the day - I had a yellow sweet bay magnolia flower in my hand

Entonces, I was exhilarated :-) I did not care if it was kismet or misket, or fate or coincidence - just felt within that the day belonged to me and that indeed, the stars, they do shine for me ...

Hope you can feel that too - because the stars they do shine for you ;-) :-)

So for the Fearless Music Recommendations this week:

"Yellow" - Coldplay - the stars shine for you!:-)

"Beautiful Day Without You" - Royksopp - lovely unusual beat and the words are empowering:
"When I'm alone, And all are gone, The painted leaves, Onto the sun, In the light of god, I see myself, Improving things, Oh every day, The open sky, The breathing stars ... Wind is on my neck (fateless), Sun is on my face (have courage), Beautiful day without you"

For the Fearless Movies I am recommending what is sounding true to me this week; the balance of being fearless

"Mostly Martha": a brilliant chef is hardly alive to Life - until her orphaned niece, Lina comes to stay - and a passionate carefree Italian chef walks into her life and reminds her that life is about taking chances and having faith and being happy and loving fearlessly

"Mrs. Henderson Presents": set in the pre World War II about a elderly widow who embodies the notion of "living" to the fullest, without bowing to convention or heartbreak

Both are heart-warming and uplifting and celebrate joie de vivre!
