A love-filled afternoon spent with Tweethearts Pen, Jo and Lena. Two hours of solid girl talk about life, love, milestones and the things that make us happy.

Our much-awaited Christmas and wedding anniversary gift that came in the form of enjoying a night of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9.
So this is what happens before the sun sets at the Sydney Opera House.
It’s been a while since we’ve had a proper date so when we went out to watch the Beethoven Nine concert, we had to go the usual route of having coffee and dessert first.
Follow your bliss. Only a three-word phrase but a powerful reminder that encourages us to follow the calling of our heart and soul.
Personal Reflection:
Being consistent is key. If we pursue our passion, we must also encourage other people to do the same. Share the positive energy instead of bringing other people down.
Celebrate other people’s milestones. I feel blessed whenever I learn that a loved one has achieved his/her goal. Happiness is contagious and knowing that they’re happy makes me believe in the good that the Universe brings.
Isolation is not a bad thing if balanced with communing with others. We all have our own creative pursuits and sometimes, it takes solitude in finding one’s inspiration. I have a group of people that I sometimes meet up and talk about my interests but I value the time when I isolate myself from all the influences of things and people around me in order for my creativity to flow.
If you love what you do, you wouldn’t mind having bad days. No pursuit is ever perfect. No great love is ever without challenges. The bumps on the road teaches us a thing or two. If you love what you do, you know that it’s all worth it.
Practice and persevere. If you want to be good at what you love doing, practice makes it (almost) perfect.
Love and commitment are two of your best values, the fuel to chasing your dreams.
Have faith. Lots of it. Pray that you’d be guided on the path you have chosen.
Follow your bliss, especially if it brings out the best in you.

Note:
Every morning, I allot at least 10 minutes for reflection. Sometimes I’d just sit and be grateful for the quiet. Other times, I’d have a phrase or word I’d reflect on and jot down my thoughts and feelings. Hence, this is where I mostly get my personal reflection which I share on the blog.
