We had to go with vimeo.com on this one. YouTube has decided to go all legal on us. :/ We’ll work out those kinks. In the meantime, enjoy the video. A little desert giddiness…

We just wanted to have a little fun with this one. And I don’t know what it is about this song, but i just CANNOT help but shake my sh*t whenever I hear it. No matter where I am. Try it! Life doesn’t always have to be so serious.

PS: Thank you to all the brave souls who danced around Kuwait for this video! Hope you had as much fun as I did! :*

Let’s just say, for imagination sake, this is not your reality. Your reality is somewhere else, perhaps on another planet, with completely different surroundings, people, ideas, philosophies, you name it. Maybe the life we are awake in now, is the one we are asleep in in our {known} dreams. Or do you think you are learning how to live in this “reality”, to REALLY live in your other “reality”? How do you imagine that world of yours? Do you imagine it exactly the same as this one, just somewhere else? Can you IMAGINE? Another you doing the same exact thing at the same exact time for the same exact reasons with the same exact emotions, thoughts, movements…everything! Weird, right? Deja-vous, perhaps.  I actually think it’s pretty cool. On that, I’d like to think there IS another me, just with a slightly tweaked life. Obviously, I’d have wings of some sort..no wait, nevermind, I’d only appreciate them in this reality. Having wings would be an entirely different shopping experience that I’m not really interested in pursuing. I can only imagine the wing-bling in Kuwait. And it’d be another reason to have to go to the hairdresser. No thanks! So what would my other reality be…?

I think if this were true, I would at least love to learn how to tap into that universe and dig into my past. I’m not entirely interested in knowing what my future entails. Then there’d be nothing to look forward to. Assuming its gonna be a good one, and I’d like to think that it is. So why my past? I don’t like to think of certain events in my life as regrets, but there are obviously things I’d do differently had I known their outcome. But there are also fantastic memories I carry around with me that I’d LOVE to have the chance to relive one more time. Or people from my past I’d love to see one more time. My father being the key figure here. One more dance with him as a little girl standing on his feet as he takes the lead would spark a whole new life in me again. My father passed when I was 9 years old, and me dancing on his feet is one of the sweetest memories I hold with him. Dancing brings life to everything, even memories.

What does this last statement have to do with anything? You’ll see…

Tell me your stories…

I was never your typical peanut butter and jelly sandwich child. I was always the kid at school who had a thermos of homemade chicken and vegetable soup for lunch, a bag of fresh carrots for a snack, and a juice to wash it all down. Occasionally my mother would throw in a few cookies..but they were always the good kind…some fancy shmacy Peppridge Farm minted something or other. This kind of eating stuck with me, and oh how I do thank her for that! We literally DO become what we eat. Fine, we don’t become a carrot if we eat carrots, but I’m gonna assume you’ve all heard the expression before. All I’m saying is listen to your body. The foods you eat have a lot to say about who you are. And they may answer a lot of those “why” questions you have…
Bon Apetite

  Thanksgiving nowadays has become a day to express your gratitude to those in your life…or to THAT in your life. Honestly for me, it’s another day at the office. As a student at the academy of LIFE, i try to appreciate and be grateful for what i do and don’t have on a daily basis. And believe me, it’s not always easy to see these things. And when you do see them, expressing your gratitude is what we tend to forget to do. On that note…i deeply express my gratitude for:

-sight     -taste   -touch

-sound  -smell (most of the time)

We had a successful day at the Bird with our collection drive. Thank you to all who participated, and to my friend Jeanne who volunteered her time to help out.

Short and sweet….over and out :*

Official launch…November 22, 2011. Welcome, and thanks for coming. Now let’s have some fun! We have a few videos planned that I’m SURE you’ll enjoy. I’m always looking for people/groups/organization that want to share their story. Let’s work together people! There is SO MUCH life to be lived, and it’s fantastic to be able to inspire others through this wonderful WORLD WIDE WEB of communication.

I’ll be keeping in touch with you through our twitter account @birdtalkkw and possibly through telekinesis…still working on that one ;0)

Spread the word…spread the love…spread the butta….

Ok guys…Nepal. I was anticipating an easier trek than we had signed up for so I was unable to get myself in a lot of the videos. My focus was on where my feet were going rather than shooting myself…sooooo this is why we chose to do the narration. I know I know…I’m no Morgan Freeman when it comes to narration, but just go with it, and enjoy the visuals. Nepal is an amazing country, with so much to offer. Maybe next time I’ll have to hire a huge camera crew to follow me around….donations welcomed .
NAMASTE

Next video…Nepal. What an adventure! Of the mind, body AND soul! The video should be up within the next two days…I’ll elaborate more then…

Alright guys, here’s our first “real” video. It ended up being too big in size so we had to compromise a little, but I hope you enjoy getting to know the wonderful Ghadah Alkandari.

Art inspires so many people on SO many levels, and in such fascinating ways.

Bear with my camera shyness….I’ll grow out of it . I’m off to Nepal today, so I guess we all know what’s coming next!

Happy Eid!!!!
