The Guest House

I thought this was beautiful...


THE GUEST HOUSE: by Rumi

This being human is a guesthouse.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
Some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house
Empty of its furniture,
Still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
For some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
Meet them at the door laughing
And invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
Because each has been sent
As a guide from beyond.

People Who Inspire Us



I was just thinking how much I love getting messages from this site : People Who Inspire Us - if you are ever feeling a little down and need some inspiration - this is a great resource!

Many a time when I feel that life just sucks, I read something from this site and it never fails to lift me and to see things beyond my realm of perspective.

A thrift shop in aid of charity

So a friend of mine told me about this little thrift shop called new2ushop - all the proceeds from the sales go to The Star Shelter, a safe haven for abused women.

They've got some great stuff here and if you have pre-loved items but don't know what to do with them - why not donate them for a good cause?!

Look at this fabulous Miu Miu jacket that someone donated!



The new2ushop is located at 96 Waterloo Street, Singapore 187967.
