Just to put a Smile on Your Face!





Live with Love and Passion,

Romantically Pink

Oh, I am really feeling kinda cozy pinkilicious romantic and would like some more .... ha!

It all started when a friend came over the other day. Would you believe it, we talked just about all night through, and finally, towards the morning, we decided to watch the movie "Don Juan de Marco" with Johnny Depp, Marlon Brando, and Faye Dunaway.

Aahhhh, a real girly night which very rarely happens to me these days, so it was all a very unexpected relaxing fun night.

Anyway, I decided to look for a video with the movie theme song "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman" by Bryan Adams (oh, just listen to those lyrics .... !!!). I decided on the following videos. Loads of delicious pink from Faye Dunaway's ever again twirling romantic dress. Unfortunately the long blue introduction by the people who put the YouTube video together is really annoying.

WARNING WARNING THESE VIDEOS ARE EXTREME GIRLY ROMANTIC MATERIAL ..... you have been warned, guys!







Now that you're feeling all warm and oh so pinky romantic please check out the other beautiful pink happy blog posts listed Beverly’s Pink Saturday which she hosts at "How Sweet The Sound" .

Generations in Pink

Does anyone realise just how time consuming it is to build and design a website?? Well, as I am doing a night shift again, I decided to add a pink generation picture, which you can see below.


But let me quickly mention this, there are loads of exciting other beautiful pink happy blog posts listed Beverly’s Pink Saturday which she hosts at "How Sweet The Sound" . So, if you want a big dose of Happy Pink feelings, then visit all these wonderful blogs she has linked from her site.

Back to the generation pic. I have decided to dedicate the website (Journey of Intimacy) to my two beautiful daughters, and other women in my age group and theirs.

I made this collage of us three, Charis and my new daughter, Rose who was welcomed to the family because my son was smart enough to marry her, and myself in 1979. On that photo I was actually the very same age as my daughter Charis.

I am just so amazed about the difference that women were back then to nowadays. Here I see my two beautiful daughters, who are totally competent and confident professional career women. They don't 'need' men, but are with them out of choice. Of course my example is just mine, however, I just wonder how many other women of these age groups like mine and my daughters would be similar. I'd love to hear your stories, please.




Wishing you all a wonderful pinkilicious Saturday!

Pink Happy Thoughts First Steps towards the Big Move

It has been a month ago since my last post. Somehow my days are not long enough to cram everything in.

Since April this year, I have been in a tug of war mentally and emotionally ... of course labelling it spiritually ... about moving to Sydney to join my son and his lovely new wife. I guess I was hoping God to somehow give me a thunderbolt message with the proverbial 'Monty Python' pointing hand and finger, and the sky ablaze with the words, "GO YE!" .... hey, I made enough mistakes for everyone who happens to read this and smiles, I just want to have nothing but God's will in my life.

Certainly, I do not advise others to go through all these contortions of wishing, dreaming and hoping and yet in the same breath pushing it all out of my mind, just in case it's not God's will. What I would say is, rest in Him and He will guide you for sure ... listen to the still small voice, or even His 'voice' coming though a package least expected. Just relax and let God be God. His will be done.

Now would I take my own advice?????

Anyway, I am taking a big bold step: I am embracing the first conceptual 'toes-into-the-water' towards moving from London, UK to Sydney.

Well, I thought, why not add a pink 'Opera House' for this exciting new direction, and post it in Beverly’s Pink Saturday which she hosts at "How Sweet The Sound" . Please do make sure that you read all the other wonderful contributions!



This is clearly not a picture I have taken. Here's the original.








So, here you have it. There appear an unbelievable and insurmountable amount of obstacles, especially concerning the immigration into Australia. But God will provide a way, where there seemingly is no way.

Wishing you a wonderful and happy Pink Saturday!

In The presence of Angels - Roy Fields

Hello Friends, it's "Then Sings My Soul Saturday" as hosted by Amy at "Signs, Miracles & Wonders"


The two videos I am presenting are actually *one*, I mean the second one is the continuation of the first. Most people know this deep worship piece, but I am asking you to just close your eyes and allow His presence to permeate you afresh in this very anointed song, joining in with the Holy Holy Holy chorus.



In the Presence of Angels



continuation ....



Lovingly,





More Pink Greetings from London

Happy Pinklicious Saturday, again!

I was pondering on this seemingly silly idea of celebrating "Pink Saturday". But I find it is chosing to see life through pinky rose coloured glasses quite literally, without needing the glasses.

Think about it, when someone is "seeing the world through pink rose-tinted glasses," it tends to mean that they look on the bright side of life and are generally a happy, friendly, and cheerful person. Or as I like to put it for myself: I like to look and search for reasons to smile even in the worst situations. I guess that means first and foremost that with an attitude of gratitude, there is always something positive to learn in any situation.

So, going back to this "Pink Saturday" it is a reminder to at least once a week we look for something pink ... some reason to smile, and then spread that smile. It's finding something quite literally *pink* but still holding onto the metaphor.

Here I am today joining Beverly’s Pink Saturday which she hosts at "How Sweet The Sound" again, and I decided to also continue on the fun frivolous pink London greetings.


As you know the iconic London busses are red. Here is a really, really old one painted pink at London's famous Piccadilly Circus.



The modern busses do not have an opening at the back where people can get on or off when they please. Shame really. I know it's done for safety reasons, but none the less, it was great when you reached your destination, and due to traffic congestions, or traffic lights you could just get off, rather than having to walk back from the bus stop.


Likewise, you were able to hop on. They used to have a 'conductor' who collected your money for the fare and gave you a paper ticket from a dispenser hung around his/her neck.

Sorry, this pic is not from the pink bus, but of a then typical red bus.

Well, to all of you who do not live in London, come and visit the place, even when it is drizzly, grey cold and weather-wise miserable ... if you catch a sunny day, London is really spectacular!

There is so much to see and experience beyond the tourist spots. You may even find a pink bus or a pink taxi!!


Again, lots of love, light, warmth, blessings and wonderful fuzzy pink thoughts to you all,

Pink Greetings from London

Happy Pinklicious Saturday!

I have been ( and still am) soooooo busy these days, plus recently been away for conferences and seminars, so here I am back with my contribution as I am joining Beverly’s Pink Saturday which she hosts at "How Sweet The Sound"


I decided on something fun, plus greetings from London, UK. We are struggling here to have a *summer* with the weather being below or just around 20'C (at times) with plenty of rain, grey skies and winds. So, grabbing a fun smily pink moment is a must for me.



Love, light, warmth and wonderful fuzzy pink thoughts to you all,
