When You Wish Upon A Star  When you wish upon a star Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires Will come to you If your heart is in your dream No request is too extreme When you wish upon a star As dreamers do Fate is kind She brings to those who love The sweet fulfillment of Their secret longing Like a bolt out of the blue Fate steps in and sees you through When you wish upon a star Your dreams come true Fate is kind She brings to those who love The sweet fulfillment of Their secret longing Like a bolt out of the blue Fate steps in and sees you through When you wish upon a star Your dreams come true -day 120 Photo: Mimoi Playground of Dreams Gallup, NM, USA Easter Sunday

I met her when we where applying in Manila, Philippines.  I happened to sit beside them (she was with friends) for a few minutes  and she just started to talk as if we knew each other!  We saw each other again in New Orleans, and SHE started the conversation again!  In my mind, I was like, "who is she?!!" And then I got to know her. She is Shalom . She calls herself, THE GODDESS. She S peaks her mind. She H ighlights her life with laughter! She A llows love and kindness to take over. She L oves to spread happiness! She O verwhelms me with her wisdom! She M esmerizes people with her beauty, charm and wittiness! She is Shalom . Here are her best SHALOMIDOM in my blog posts.   "Happiness is a choice and I choose it everyday and forever" on lessons learned "if chance is the only thing we have and a choice that we have to take if it's written in the stars and the universe conspire who am I to deny my own destiny"  on Destiny: A matter of . . . ? ...

Thursdays are for GREAT PEOPLE in my life! WELCOME TO  "YOU'RE GREAT"  THURSDAYS! Today, I am featuring my friend, Len .   We crossed paths in 1999. We were both new members of  Tambuli Toastmasters, in Makati, Philippines then and our minds were just in sync. She was the one who influenced me to blog in 2006 (via Friendster blogs) and up to now she's still convincing me to continue to work on my writing so I'll become a (serious) writer someday. Here's Len. When did you discover your love for writing? I began writing stories when I was in high school. My first avid reader was my sister. I remember writing a comic book about twins who fell in love with the same boy. Sadly, I don't know anymore where the notebooks are.  I should have kept them somewhere safe. Tell us about your blog, Len Lambert, the Writer... how is it different from Conversations with Self? Conversations with Self  was created sometime in 2007.  It began as a personal blog, some...

Lol.  To be an example to my little girl.  To be healthy because I am not getting any younger." What are the challenges along the way? "Some days, I didn't feel like doing anything. Some daysI want to eat the entire house!" What is your daily routine? "I drink lots of water. I quit eating...
