A life... Full and Filled!
Filled with Lovely people and knowing everything is as it ought to be.
The weeks are passing by fast, and there has yet to be any kind of property deal, which is what I am seeking at present. But I finally came to realise that I should stop worrying. Think of solutions and realise everything will happen at the right time, in the right direction. It is fine except for the ones we create for ourselves.
On that note, I worked hard all week and partied even harder all weekend!
Going around Chelsea Harbour and re-visiting the interior design shops has been fun, bringing back great memories of my working days. The weather in London has been most desirable; as it is hot and mainly sunny, which makes me not go away for now, it is pure bliss. The streets are empty as everyone has disappeared to their summer retreats of packed beaches. Driving around the city with the roof down and excellent music playing is nothing less than a joyous summer. There is nowhere else I would rather be now. Nitya's garden party by the pool on a mild Friday evening, mixed with an international crowd of jet setters, making new friends and seeing familiar faces while the rosé champagne flowed around, was another evening not to be forgotten.
On Saturday, the 13th of July, my plan to stay in and save my energy for the following birthday weekend could have gone better! What a surprise again. At about 1:00am, I got ready and drove to Fabric; no wonder they call it my second home. Spent most of my time either dancing in the DJ booth or getting more familiar with faces whose paths we had crossed before. The decision to leave at 5:00am did not happen, so after more dancing and following Judes from room to room in the club, I finally managed to go at a decent hour of 9:30am, had breakfast alone at Paul's and then drove back in full sunshine with the roof down again. The sun energised me, and I didn't want to sleep, so I texted Aisha, who had woken up and asked me to join her for Turkish coffee on her balcony with Kristel. Soon after, Risha arrived. Lazing in the heat and enjoying each other's company left us hungry by 2:30pm, so we headed to Thomas Cubitt pub for a gastro meal, which nourished every taste bud, and finally, by 6:00pm, I was ready to hit the pillow.
So many often ask me:
"Haldita, where do you get your energy?"
Energy must be a state of the mind; when you let go of troublesome thoughts and make peace with yourself, you have peace with the world and everything around you. Conquering unnecessary imaginations of anything negative and replacing them with good deeds and constructive ideas everyone can benefit from is authentic living. When remarks have headed my way as:
"Haldita, some of us have to live in the real world."
Well, my world is as accurate as I make it out to be, and I choose to see the bright side of it all, the good rather than the bad and the beauty rather than anything unpleasant.
Another highlight of last week was an engagement party at Notting Hill with Jane and Russ. Unlike the 8:00pm start of the party, I managed to get there before 23:00 hour, fashionably late as usual! Great to see Donna there and catch up with the news while we sat outside the open space and then to get into a deep conversation with Gloria, who sang beautifully at one of my parties and hear her latest spiritual development, not dissimilar to mine, each in their own way magical. She agreed to join my house party the following evening.
What happened on the following Saturday was my birthday. The day began at lunch with my girl and boy, who had invited me to a gastro meal in Mayfair; I could not have been more proud of God's special blessings. Afterwards, we drove around London, and after dropping them to their destinations, I got home to answer the many sweet messages of great wishes. The wicked had no rest as I got my flat ready for the night party at 22:00 hour. Kim came over to give me a hand with the preparations, and it all kicked off as the guests flew in through the door with music and laughter. The plan was for those who wanted to join Fabric later to either attend the party at my place or meet at Fabric later at 1:30/2:00am. There was such a high energy of loveliness floating in the air that it did not allow me to sit down for a minute but mingle with the adoring friends who had turned up. Somehow, the living room always gets filled up, and I need to find out exactly who will come and who won't.
By 1:00am, many had already backed off from the idea of clubbing and went their way as the seven of us made it to Fabric at my favourite table, and others followed suit from other destinations. DJ Dan Ghenacia ended the night, or the morning, with a big bang. We danced our feet off till the closing time of 8:00am, then went on to drive with Kim and Troy to have breakfast at 9am in Aubaine. Shame they did not serve champagne! All I recall is having love all around me and great music. A genuinely mind-blowing night.
Bedtime was before midday as Kalina had fallen asleep and missed the party; she texted to organise a meeting at 3:00pm at my place to drive to the Lovebox festival in Hackney. We had not seen each other since January, so spending a whole afternoon with more fabulous music in a sunny London park was best for us to spend together. The VIP tickets were courtesy of Labella, who had couriered them to me on Friday. Judes happened to be there too, and we managed to find each other at the vast Red Bull tent where DJ Harvey was playing in London after ten years of immigrating to the US. Wow!
I have learned that life is truly an illusion of our mind.
Nothing is quite what it seems to be.
There are twists and turns to every story. It is always complex.
People will judge you according to what they feel inside. It is not your problem.
Positive thinking brings joy into life; we deserve to be happy.
Spread the love around, smile and show the world you are content and no one can touch you.
Meditation has been the best discovery of self and how the universe can work my way.
Embarrass those who are unkind with your goodness.
You will never know who may rescue you at different stages of life, so be kind to everyone who passes your path and let go of those who do not appreciate you.
Only I am responsible for my actions and how I feel.
The secret of looking young is feeling young. Never lose touch with the child in you.
And now, I'm 54, and boy, I want more!
Wishing you ALL Love and Peace.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
