One!

So today as I was browsing the web I discovered this video.
If if you ask me its pretty amazing.
The girl in the video is Sheena . 
For one whole year, she has worned the same dress!
That is 12 months, 365 days if you forgot!
Well she added accessories to the dress, which for some reason doesn't always look like the same dress since this girl is a genius at styling!!!!

The reason for this one year-one dress mission is the Uniform project which raises money for the Akanksha Foundation, which is an organization devoted to education reform in India.In the end, Shena managed to collect $95,089 =264 kids in school!!!!
Pretty Amazing if you ask me!

After watching this video all I could think was "What I am doing with my life?" lol
I love it . You should watch it .
Gigi!


Here is the Video! Enjoy!

LIFE. LIFE. LIFE

STRESS!!!!

When does it END?

Not life just the STRESS!!!

I mean does stress ever disappear

Or is it forever present?

I can't and I don't expect life to be this fairy-tale, happy place 24/7.

But, I need some peace & tranquility!

Someone once said, "Life is simple, it's just not easy. ",

And I believe that they were telling the truth.

Sometimes it seems that problems come by the dozen.

Headaches and worries by the hundreds.

And yet, somewhere in all the chaos

I realized that life would not be worth it

If there were no hardships to make the conquests stand out.

So even if sometimes I wish I could wake up in a remote island

Sipping on some exotic concoction, laying on a hammock, WORRY-FREE,

I appreciate the good times, the bad times and the BUGLY times!

And so should you readers!

Life is a journey in which you should reach for the stars, the moon

Heck if the sun was attainable we should reach for the sun! :)

And sometimes, life is a journey in which you learn
How to reach for the hands of those who matter.

So even if all of my loved ones don't read this blog,

I just want to thank everyone who has been there for me for these past 20 years.

As I am about to turn 20 Friday!!!!

And I believe that as I will no longer be a teenager,

I should start embracing my adulthood by counting my blessings! (Hello more bills! HA)

So today I am taking the time to say Thank you and to remind you guys

That maybe sometimes, life is not as bad as we think.

Life is what you make it!

So today I am making my life at least trying to make my life

More stress-less and more happy-filled.

I am feeling very grateful and blessed despite the stress that wont go away

I love every single one of you that has pushed, yelled at, encouraged, and loved me unconditionally.

My journey is also your journey.

Ultimately, my love is your love. (Dont I sound super mushy lol)

"May The Best Of Your Yesterdays Be The Worst Of Your Tomorrows"

Love,

Gigi

Lost Friend

They always say that friends are the family that God never gave you.

I never though that I would lose a friend, but tonight I think I did.

Losing a friend close to your heart  not because they are dead but,

Because they no longer have faith in you is one of the hardest thing to experience.

It's one of these things that you don't see coming and that you never imagined to happen.

It's hard to lose anything, but losing a friend close to your heart is just brutally painful.

It's like receiving a punch to the heart that removes couple pieces of your heart forever.

I never thought this would come to this and it hurts so much.

However I respect your choice, and wish you the best.

I will miss you a WHOLE lot.

I hope you read this one day and realized that I always cared and always will.

Love,GA

Find Your Love

This song has been stuck in my mind for the past three days!

I thought I should share

Here is Find Your Love by Drake!

The official video is the second video of this post :) Enjoy!

A Matter of Luck

Marylin Monroe said:

“I believe things happen for a reason.
People change so you can learn to let go,
Things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they are right,
You believe lies so you can eventually start to trust no one but yourself,
And sometimes things fall apart,
So better things can fall together.”

Tonight, more then ever, I believe that Marylin Monroe was right.

Sometimes, things fall apart so better things can fall together.
We have to believe that the reason for our misfortunes, is that 

There is Luck waiting ahead of the road for us.

That has to be the reason....

Stay Optimistic,
Gigi

Laughter Heals The Heart

I ran accross this quote on google and though it should be the food for though today:

"The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache."-
Marjorie Pay Hincklely

P.S: Laughing while having God on your side would just expedite things :)

Be cheerful,

Gigi

Fake Gold!

Often, we tend to judge others by their appearance and put labels on them.

However, we put label that categorize people and gave them a non-favorable image in our minds.

Also we tend to forget the opposite, that sometimes, what does look good is often very evil.

Just because, someone or something looks enticing doesn't necessarily mean that that person/thing will benefit YOU.

Therefore, my quote for today is:
"Everything That Shines Ain’t Always Gonna Be Gold"

Stay Aware

Happiness!

 

The other day I was watching one of my favorites shows Grey's Anatomy.

And the episode that was airing got me thinking about happiness.

We all want to be happy.

We all desire to find and keep happiness in our lives.

However sometimes, we tend to be too stubborn to Recognize when happiness in at your doorsteps.
Often we are afraid t let happiness into our lives and
Tend to sabotage any given opportunities that may present itself to us.

My food for thought today is that we all have a RIGHT to be happy,
Everybody deserves a shot to happiness and
We all should be able to what is necessary to gain that happiness.

We need to remember that we DESERVE to be happy
And feel joy from every bone in your body to the deepest part of your soul.
Therefore, readers, go on your pursuit of happiness!

Don't Worry, Be Happy

Cloudy Sun!

Thursday I was on a plane 

And as I was looking out the windons I was amazed.

Sometimes we tend to forget the beauty of the world we live in.

Granted not everything is bright and sunny but it is essential 

To recognize that God has created some wonders with our surroundings.

As I was going from Florida to New York, the scenery was breathtaking

At a point all I could do was stare at the clouds and 

Imagine what it would feel like to lay on a cloud.

After all this blog is called A Mind on Cloud Nine

So it is only normal for me to want to experience being on a cloud.

Anyways, what I am trying to say readers is

sometimes, we forget to sit back and appreciate our surroundings.

So just take a moment to appreciate nature around you.

Whether you are going through some hard times or

Having the summer of your life

Watching the sun set or rise will do you some good.

As I was watching the clouds and the different land patterns of FL and NY

All I could do was smile and realize that everything is going to be alright.

If could God could create such beauty and arrange the earth in such a way

The wonders He Could do for me and you are endless!

So take a break and take a moment to enjoy nature!

Life is too short not smell the roses once in a while!

Love, Gigi

Sour Lemons

Disclaimer: This Post Includes Strong Language.



For this past week, I have been reminded that Shit Happens
And when I mean Shit I really do mean Shit.
It's like once things start going downhill,
They won't stop until they hit rock bottom.
And when life smacks you hard,
It is easy to just give up, and not try to get up.

However, what I also remembered during this past week is that
"When life gets your lemons, make lemonade"
Which means when Shit happens, as humans
We have to be able to rise above the pain and suffering
And make the best of the situation.

That is why readers, instead of complaining about the lemons life gives you
And instead of trying to return the stupid lemons,
Make a lemonade and remember that
There is sunshine after the rain;
And that shit WONT happen all the times.

Stay Strong
♥ Gigi
