How do you say “I love you!”?

Writing Prompt

I have crafted numerous declarations of love in verse:

He is fairer than Spring,
Wiser than my unread library,
Tenderer than a feather
in the newly-stirred autumn wind.

How much would you pay to go to the moon?

How much would you pay to go to the moon?

I have written once
We are the masters
of two small islands:
One of carton trees
and hollowed plastic flowers
and One
where the moon lives.
Trapeze artist of the Moon

Humanity has long been captivated by the concept of journeying to the Moon. From the early days of the space race to today’s conversations about commercial space flight, the Moon has remained an enticing destination. But how much are you prepared to spend for a trip to the Moon? This subject is becoming more significant than ever as technology progresses and the space travel business expands.

Key takeaways
The distance between the Moon and Earth is approximately 238,855 miles. The price of a lunar excursion is influenced by the duration of the journey and the amount of energy needed for the trip.
Spacecraft for lunar missions must be equipped with life support systems, food, and other necessary supplies for the journey. The price of these accommodations can be quite high.

Halloween

“It was the worst of times; it was the best of times.” – Charles Dickens

It is the worst of times because winter is coming, and it is the best of times as underneath decaying dreams and leaves, spring and joyous days await.
Waiting for spring has glorious snow perfume dissipating into windy mists and cosy thoughts behind blurred windows.

Nevertheless, for Halloween, I light a green candle, preferably in a pumpkin, and I light many, many candles for my departed loved ones and loving people to find traces of my love. Undying…

What are dreams made of?

What are dreams made of?
Inspiration and a great deal of effort. We slog through, sometimes pausing to admire the first glimmer of success.
Companies are founded on a dream, not a single idea.

What are your dreams?
To be free.
To feel free.
To feel free to choose whichever type of day you wanna have.
Feel free to choose the type of life you want.
To be materially free.
Feel free to travel.
Experience new life routines.
Feel free to make money.
Spend substantial amounts of time improving our knowledge and abilities so that we may earn more money and enjoy the independence that comes with it.
Freedom to make you our passion scalable.
But how do you start?

R.I.P. Milan Kundera

“He suddenly recalled from Plato’s Symposium: People were hermaphrodites until God split then in two, and now all the halves wander the world over seeking one another. Love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

What Do You Do On Your Birthday?

Birthdays: magic days of unrepeatable events…In my imagination they look polished and warm.

I consider birthdays a bouquet of heartfelt memories. There are no two of them alike.
We expect the most out of our birthdays; we expect perfection, love, and a new experience—a new adventure.
As a child, my birthday was one of the most beautiful days of the year because it was also the last day of school and the first day of freedom. Freedom to eat cherries from the old cherry tree in front of our house, in which I used to climb wearing my uniform and staining it with cherry juice, to my mother’s horror. 

Freedom to embrace a long never-ending summer holiday in the middle of flowers and fruit trees. Freedom to cycle wherever and whenever I wanted. Freedom to sit quietly in the flower garden and to observe the violet twilight taking over the world. To smell the tuberoses. Another cherish memory is the summer nights spent in the garden, and looking at the flowers and shrubs in the light of the Japanese moon or the moon with a halo which gives the everything around a shadowy mystery glint.
I have understood this feeling better after discovering “Eu nu strivesc corola de minuni a lumii” by Lucian Blaga.

As an adult, I frequently had to work on my birthday, but I made it a point to do something that had personal significance to me. More often than not, that meant writing something new. I am trying to find that fresh, happy feeling that I am in the middle of a story whose paths I am able to create. I always live in the stories I write.
I am very presumptuous to say that it is the same as living in a Van Gogh painting. I do wish that my strokes of words were as powerful as those in his paintings.

Why do we put so much pressure on our birthdays to be perfect?
Perhaps it’s because we want stability and peace of mind in our lives and hope that our problems would disappear, if only for a day.

What about you?
How do you spend your birthday?

“We are late” – May newsletter

The title was inspired by a comment under one of my articles on Fragrantica.com.

We are late, but we remember.
May was a fabulous month with fresh ideas and articles, exploratory storytelling and interaction at my courses, and meeting new people, especially the representatives of a global brand with whom I would dearly like to do business.

“A change is as good as a rest.” So is writing new stories.
The May articles I liked the most are:

Perfumes and Their Muses

Who does not like fragrances?
A fragrance with a compelling backstory is a work of art.

I enjoyed writing this since it immersed me in history. I also had the opportunity to write about my female mentors. One of them is our beloved Queen Marie.
“Having never had much of a small garden before the war, I suddenly found myself consumed with a love for gardening. Flowers as a symbol of faith and hope may be seen almost anywhere: in gardens, inside homes, in hospitals, and even on street corners. Then I started planting gardens everywhere I went, bright gardens full of flowers where I could reflect on the past and take pleasure in the present.” – Queen Marie.

How do you tackle writer’s block?

It happens to everyone…
I don’t necessarily struggle with it since my imagination is insatiable, but I do sometimes lose my distinctive voice and feel like I’m portraying facts and feelings in too simple a way.

Reading is the remedy, and another test I didn’t include in my piece is attempting to start with the truest sentence I know.
Everything became apparent after that. This method is also used in my poems. This was published on my blog.

Lastly, English courses on business, banking, economics, creative business writing.

The word of the month has been: Creative Accounting
Creative Accounting is the use of methods of recording financial information about a company, etc. which are legal but which do not show the real situation clearly, usually making the company seem more successful than it really is.

I am still working on a website audit. 🙂
