Do you believe in seven years bad luck?

The idea of broken mirrors and bad luck is an interesting one. Many cultures believe that mirrors reflect the soul when a person's image is reflected. Therefore, breaking a mirror is the equivalent to breaking a part of the soul. And that's where the bad luck comes in... seven years worth of it.

Why seven years, you may ask? It all stemmed from the Romans who believed that life renews itself every seven years.

Aside from broken glass, I was once told that mirrors can be used to ward off bad spirits, go figure. Well, I guess I am kind of superstitious type because as I photographed this image, I thought that I just might catch the bad luck. But I was reassured that I was safe because I didn't break it. Clearly, duh. ***frantically throws fistfuls of salt over shoulder****

Have an awesome and soul safe weekend!

Ciao for now!

Posing

Everyone has that friend with the "All About Me" photo album on Facebook.

Technology (i.e. social media) making us too self-involved?

YeahhNahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Nothing wrong with being happy in your own skin! But I have just one request: Please leave those poom poom shorts for private occasions :-)

Ode to the Pomegranate

Totally random, I know and yes, I have an ode to pomegranates.

If there is one thing that forces me to appreciate the little pleasures in life, it is the pomegranate. It is one fruit that requires so much attention, so much focus, so much of you. I am "involved" each time I cut one open. And in the end, I am left but with the stain of crimson and a remarkable high that can only be attributed to the lovely and delicious pomegranate!

Ciao for now!
