About

Why does one start a blog?

It is obvious – for a possibility of self-expression, to share and interact with others.

About me?

It is impossible to sum up one’s life (and thus mine too) in a few sentences ….and as I am still a work in progress this blog will hopefully help me sort out my thoughts and ideas and bring out the inner workings of my mind. The posts here are not very organised nor do they stick to a specific subject or idea. They come randomly following momentary inspiration.

What is the one thing that keeps me going?

Curiosity about how it will all end, a disgust for giving up on life.

What makes me tick?

Learning, meeting new folks, finding out that we are not alone. Well, maybe there are still things I am about to discover …. each day is a new possibility.

What are my interests and specialties?

Languages and music, sounds in general, the fact is that sounds are very distracting to me.

Images (either still or moving) – images evoke feelings, memories and incite imagination. Today’s technology makes it simple for us to take pictures, to grab images and store them for later enjoyment and remembering.

A life’s traveller, a soul explorer, a thinker and a linguist with a lot to learn still I will be happy to meet anyone with a kind heart and an open mind.

P.S. It is hard to talk about oneself here. For more information, use email.

      Nice to meet you to Anne :) It is so nice of you to take time and leave comments here.

      • Pleasure is all mine. :)
        Have a wonderful week!

        • Paula says:

          You too Anne. I admire your sense of balance :) I am too much of a hedonist to achieve that any time soon and I should. I’ve checked out that three greens smoothie you are featuring. I tried something like that a few years ago. These days I prefer bacon and eggs :D Well, next week I will live more like you I promise :)

    You have a beautiful blog. Liked it.

  18. Nice to meet you Ms. Paula! Like you, I enjoy traveling and meeting new people. I think we are all different and yet can carry similar interests. I may not get a chance to travel everywhere and meet everyone but your blog can help me know someone in Croatia (right?) and see another part of our big world. Keep up your great work in your blog!

    • Paula says:

      Merci Marie-Charlotte. Je t’ai repondu sur ton blog.. Ici dans mon blog il y a plusieurs posts ou j’explique mes raisons pour ne pas accepter des recompenses :D . Bon weekend!

  22. Marie-Charlotte says:

    Je viens te lire tes posts au sujet des récompenses et je te comprends tellement ;) Sache que je te l’ai décerné parce que je le pense vraiment. Bon week-end et à bientôt :)

    • Paula says:

      Je te remercie Marie-Charlotte, il m’est important que tu as lu mes posts :) . Cela parle bien de toi. J’espere que tu vas bien et que tu es contente avec ton boulot… Je sais que tu n’es plus le guide, comme moi non plus…maintenant je suis traductrice et ca devient un peu trop stressant quelques fois…

      • Marie-Charlotte says:

        Quel magnifique métier ;) mais c’est très stressant, j’ai fait quelques traductions et je sais à quel point celà peut être stressant (respecter les délais par exemple). Tout comme toi j’ai fait des études de langues (anglais et allemand) et aujourd’hui je suis webmaster. Ca me plait beaucoup :)

  23. Hi there I just stumbled across your blog and liked it alot. I’m on a similar personal journey (hence the blog!) Thanks for posting and drop by sometime. Peace. x

  24. Hi Paula! Just letting you know that you are my top commenter! (30 comments, go girl!) So as a thank you, i am putting your face (and link) on my home page for everyone to see! I chose to put this picture in your about page, in case you don’t like that let me know, and suggest another picture if you like! :)

  25. For the record, and since we are playing with numbers, after this top commenter thing, from 30 comments, your score went up to 42! You have a gift! :P

  26. thierryjan says:

    Bravo pour ton très bon blog , et ton très bon Français Paula ;-) tu est doué :)

  27. Check Paula! You nailed it, and i am in it! :D Thaaaaaaaanks! Your Goodreads section is empty though, is it supposed to be like that?

  28. Mina Botros says:

    I truly enjoy getting to know people with the mind frame that you have, I really hope that I get to be able to see the growth of this blog as an extension of your own personal growth. :)

  29. Nice Photography mam although I could not finish to see all the photos yet…. In a Word they were just awesome…. And I want to say some thing about your eyes,

    “Just take a look through my eyes
    There’s a better place
    somewhere out there
    Just take a look through my eyes
    Everything changes
    You’ll be amazed what you’ll find
    If you look through my eyes”

  30. brenda says:

    thank you for visiting my blog and for clarity regarding “saldage” . . . wondering if the misspelling invites a personalization? Curious about your statement regarding Enya.

  31. Me encanta cada una de las respuestas a las preguntas que te hiciste.
    Que afortunado haber visto tu blog, mi meta de tomar fotos por un ño terminó hace unos dias pero igual voy a seguirlo usando para que sigamos en contacto.
    Que buenas fotos tienes tu también!

    • Paula says:

      Hola Pablo :) Te agradezco mucho de haber leido mi pagina. Dime que piensas hacer ahora que se termino tu proyecto? Te poneras otra meta aqui? Voy a ver con atencion tus otros “posts”. Saludos cordiales. Me encantaria quedar en contacto.

  32. Angeline M says:

    Thanks for the follow on my blog, Paula. I’m glad we’ve connected, and I will enjoy going through your posts also.

    • Paula says:

      Gracias, Josep por este pujoncito :) . Me voy a esforzar mas, aunque esfuerzo no es palabra justa… siempre pense que hago este blog para mi y eso queda cierto, pero como puse en mi gravatar… estoy aqui para conectarme con la gente, y ahora dejame decir mas… para conectarme con la gente suficiente parecida a mi (para que no me moleste con su estupidez) y suficiente diferente para parecerme interesantes. Un abrazo para ti. Vuelve a vistarme pronto :) x
