LIFE happens!

xoxoxoxoxoxoxox


No matter HOW MUCH you THINK you know yourself,
or how much you think you're in control of the situation around you,
No matter how much energy you invest in your mind,
to always take the lead and carve its way into happy places


LIFE happens!

LIFE happens all around you, LIFE takes from you, LIFE gives back to you, LIFE pushes you beyond your limits, LIFE pulls you back to places you dont want, LIFE brings you joy , LIFE treats you bad , LIFE HAPPENS!

It happens SO QUICK you dont have time to adjust your position, or to understand what just happened around you.

It just happens,
And it happens for GOOD reasons.. And it drops you off to GOOD destinations.. And finally looks at you from a distance and waves at you, turning away and smiling deeply leaving you there, leaving you GOOD.

LIFE happens and LIFE is beautiful!


‎5 months ago, Today was a Dream.
Today, I AM the Dream.




I moved to Greece, with the man of my LIFE, furnished our white n blue house, Registered our papers, became legal, bought a car, developed a routine, LIVED our lives and LOVED our lives.









LIFE happened to me in just FIVE months, after all the twisting and curling and fighting and dreaming, LIFE dropped me off at an Intersection that I have FOREVER longed for.










LIFE is beautiful, it had been a looooooong, tough, emotional, heavy, and passionate fight... But TODAY, I AM HERE.

I've made it so far! We have made it so far!
My Andreas and My passionate Self have left everything behind, and are now starting a NEW LIfe together.



We plan on opening our own little PROJECT, we plan on Living, we plan on Breathing, we plan on Smiling.


Life happens, and LIFE is Beautiful.

Signatures of THE Paper

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo


It had always been 'THE' day... THE day each and every woman catches the Cruel Anxiety Bug from... It's a known fact.... once you say "MARRIAGE", you internally switch ON the anxiety button... Oh and OF COURSE, that's when all the negativity hits.... with all its negative questions and looking for the easy way-out!

"Is it reeeaaaallllyyyyyyyyyy the right time?"
"Is he reaaaalllyyyyyyyyyyy what I reallllyyyyyy want? "



The MARRIAGE!!!!


As I quit my job (Easy) and got engaged (very Easy) , I started looking into whats next??? So we marry???? And then I move in with my Greek??? And then we move to Greece and start our long-awaited and day-dreamed-about LIFE?
(Oh God, i just felt a jump in my tummy as I wrote this sentence !)

Therefore, and after many many talks and discussions.... about THE DAY.... and THE MOVE.... we decided to play the game in ANOTHER way.... a completely different way.... and here are the points:

- This shall NOT be called a "Marriage"
- This will be our FIRST bulletpoint in our Lives that is yet to begin in the most positive of ways.
- This is a "paper" we are signing. The REAL Marriage will take place on a beautiful Greek Island.
- Andreas and I will do the MOVE, and WORK WORK WORK our way in Life, our new house, our new jobs, our new language, our new society.
- And NEXT year, 2012, THHAAATTTSSS when we will be able to SCREAM THE WORD OUT.... WE ARE MARRIEDDDDDD


















Having said that.....
On a beautiful Sunny Sunday Morning (March 27 to be exact) , Andreas picks me up from my house in Um Suqeim, where my Mom and Dad have been smiling so strongly from their hearts and blessing me dearly.

We get in his Volkswagen car.... Just the TWO of us.... placing our Greek CD and listening to our favorite Greek singer all throughout the one-hour drive.

We get into the Greek Embassy in Abu Dhabi, and try not to make so much noise as we take a couple of pictures of us outside, inside, and while we wait for our lovely Maria to be free for us.

And within a span of 3 minutes..... WE SIGN THE PAPER... that fully acknowledges us as a Civil Couple who will raise Civil Children in this society we live in ****sign sign sign sign**** and **** YESSSSSSS YES YESSSS *****











AAANNNNNNDDDDDD feeling as though this world can NOT take our positive energies; We drive away, just the TWO of us, back to Dubai.

Our parents, the Karams and the Constantinideses, are waiting for us in a Lebanese restaurant to hear about this Journey where we eat and talk and love.....

Then, we Head off to our friends, our real friends who also want to hear about our journeys, and give us some more love that we openly receive!

How does it feel????

It Feels Right and Natural !

Positive Therapy

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox



A wise Greek man once told me ,and showed me , and taught me , that its ALWAYS safe for us to choose the easy way OUT.






- Its ALWAYS easy to choose the Home Delivery option, as opposed to walking to the market
- Its ALWAYS easy to travel or run away , as opposed to sit by your struggles
- Its ALWAYS easy to get a divorce, as opposed to going thru the rough patches together


I, myself, have been LIVING the idea that 'negativity brings out more negativity'... and guess what???? Positivity DOES help in attracting more positivity

Cutting straight to the point..... I would like to apologize for the lack of blogging.... Believe me I have missed you sooooo much!!! But I, Lina Karam, would like to announce that I GOT ENGAAAAAGGGEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!

Here is a snapshot of what I have been going through for the past month....

- January 20: Lina Resigns
- January 21: Lina Birthday
- January 25: Lina Yoga Teacher
- February 27: Lina being asked 'Will you Marry Me?'
- March 1: Andreas Resigns from job
- March 2: Linas parents meet Andrea's parents
- March 20: LAST WORKING DAY at Virgin Megastore!

Again, I would like to emphasize that as simple as it may sound..... Positivity attracts Positivity....

And i am moving to Greece with my man, to begin my Life... to begin molding my life in the way, shape , and form that my mind will attract!

I do NOT know what to expect.
i do NOT know if i will learn the language.
I do NOT know exactly how my career will unfold.
i do NOT know anything...... EXCEPT:




I WILL ATTRACT.
and
I WILL ATTRACT it ALL.

Dreamers of a Story

NO IM NOT DREAMING... Its all coming into play!
NO IM NOT DREAMING...
NO IM NOT DREAMING...
NO IM NOT DREAMING...



Both my dream, and Andrea's dream are moving closer and closer to each other until they UNITE into ONE BIG LIFE-CHANGING MOVE!


Andreas is re-living his dream through me, and I am re-living my dream through him!

He has revived my dream that I had slept on. He has pushed me into places I used to daydream about ---- well, I actually had a taste of it in Mexico for a good 6-months.

Andreas Constantinides, to me, has been a dream by himself.
It started off in a little corner restaurant, on Dubai Marina . I still remember what I was having, a potato salad!
As I munched my food and enjoyed the seating area outside, because there was NOONE, Andreas and I began discussing a topic, with all honesty and all transparency.


One little vision turned into a smile,
One smile lead for a mental visualition,
One mental note encouraged a brain reaction,
The brain of course, has done its job well and worked all day, all night!

It was then, that we discovered that we are speaking the same language, and we have almost the same set of eyes! We see the same future, and we share the same goals.

That potato salad night, began re-occuring on various settings,
Over a coffee, over dinner, at our workplace, almost always!

and a LITTLE BABY DREAM WAS BORN.

On the other hand, Andreas the Greek, had been sitting quitely in the corner, minding his own business, and not talking to anyone.
He lived his life, did his duties, carried ALL his thoughts silently inside his head, and carried on with Life in a confident way, Just like all Greeks!

Suddenly, he is struck by his Mexican friend.

His friend was speaking to him, but the voice was coming from a far far distance.
When he finally had a chance to look closely and have a listen to what the voice is saying, he undertood immediately!
It was HIS language.

His dreams, His thoughts, His ideas! ! ! Finally among the crowd, he hears and picks up the voice that means most to him!

And a LITTLE BABY DREAM WAS BORN.


I am now living a True Story, that no matter how many times I repeat to myself, still feels like a dream!

When we're together, You can almose feel the air around us, and escape

A letter to Twenty-Ten

xxxxoxoxoxoxox


I will not be harsh; nor will I be leniant
I will bring it all out and make sure its all radiant.

Twenty-Ten, you have (by far) definitely proved
what noone else , no other, no year has ever even moved.

You have tumbled, moved, replaced, and frightened
that my feelings, thoughts, and dreams have certainly been enlightened.

I will carry you with me on the back of my mind and soul
for my Twenty-Eleven, you will be an everlasting model Role.
