My very special attitude to Easter to this day … Charge of the light and warmth for the whole week, year and with…[Read more]

    • Happy ReBirth day to YOU! :)

  • LIFE is a MIRACLE!!!! Sometimes the most obvious fact is UNBELIEVABLY UPLIFTING! :-)

    • Also, in regards to this, I went to the NYC Life Expo on Sat. – LOVE IT – & my aura photo/report/review showed that I am NOW in a time to MANIFEST anything & everything…the rest of the report was correct, sooo?! LOL :) ….& sunshine ALWAYS radiates from my heart outward, no matter what else is going on. Thanks for your continued POSITIVITY!!!…[Read more]

    • Yes, absolutely! :) …feel free to critique the ’simple’ – ’Colors’ :D

    • don’t dream it, be it, be true yourself! :)

    • I love your precious words Olivier, written like the true genius you are, very inspirational and strong, yes I feel like Lynda post above, but you have to keep moving forward like you say Olivier, try to make your wildest dreams happen, come true, do the best you can, seize the moment,, Thank you both Olivier and Lynda for taking the time to write…[Read more]

    • Yes Olivier, always moving onward :) …..never mind, no need re: ”Colors” – it was just a simple, light 5 minute pthing. Nothing to respresent haha. Have a wonderful day! :D

    • @Mary M Robin Thank you Mary, that was very kind of you to mention me. Olivier’s wisdom, kindness, generous spirit, and being such a gentelman is so wonderful – isn’t it! :) , and his essence draws wonderful people like you & everyone here to his site :) . You write with such graciousness, as well! :) Have a lovely day! :)

  • Drawing the joy from getting better and better in what I love :-)

  • The Magic and Exciting Process of Building my Galaxy: Sometimes that’s how I think about my life ;-) Sounds a bit out of the box and hyper-positive? That’s me! :D That’s why as I often say I don’t really mind what people think: apart from constructive, pro-active and positive input from my close collaborators, or apart from positive…[Read more]

    • Wonderfully expressed, as always. So happy to hear how well things are flowing on your divine path….I can hear the tone of change in your writing :) :)

      • I love your use of the word Divine Path, ironically I’d never use that term before but it’s exactly how I feel!!! Thank you :-) As for the tone, I would be missing out not to adapt my tone as I grow! ;-) It’s all about transparency :-) Best best vibes to YOU! :-)

    • Music is the huge Galaxy of shining stars ★ … big bang! :)

    • Yes absolutely, one’s tone will change as they grow, it is part of growth & change – my comment was meant in the best of ways :) …..I heard, very distinctly, your growth & transparency in the writing – it takes courage, especially ’transparency’ (a great word)!! My best vibes to YOU too :)

  • True faith is nothing but never-ending excitement.

    Have you ever thought of what it would take to truly believe in your dreams, in your ideals or in your convictions, day after day, with no interruption? It would take true Faith. That kind of Faith is the one that makes one stand strong through any situation, from the greatest possible day at…[Read more]

  • I am SO thrilled about the way it’s all evolving! Had another mind blowing day in the studio, writing new songs and creating the Envy Rock sound, which as a hint is going to be very very organic and minimal with a focus on great melodies! :-) And here’s to an amazing end of the week ahead filled with great events in and out of town. All that not…[Read more]

  • Had an exciting day reconnecting with my Berklee College of Music family, thank YOU guys for being the amazing talented you you all are in your own unique ways, for pursuing your art and with it a lot of the time, your spiritual path, and for being some of the greatest collaborators on my music project. I look forward to applying all your feedback…[Read more]

  • I love my new boots, they can brave the cold and the rain or snow in Northern lands and remain as stylish as can be! I have not tried the sand yet but shall sure do too! :D Fashion has tended to go towards very flat and skinny shoes over the past several years…and while I love stylistic progress I have to say my preferece goes for clothing that…[Read more]

    • it seems your new boots has the wings… you can fly! you can fly! you can fly! :D waiting for the pic of your super tods! ;)
      quality is the most important… simple is the best… less is more…
      fashion is yourself!

    • Olivier, I like what you wrote today – foot comfort & sturdiness – you can’t beat it & I really relate to it because I have very narrow feet – AA or AAA, as well as having a long foot lol :) , so shoes have always been hard to get in my size. I “envy” you (in a good way, ofcourse) that you have shoes that fit well & feel that way. I am also…[Read more]

      • You will see both! :-) I actually feel these are great boots to go on stage, they are more roots…

        • Wonderful!! :) …..feeling that way (about these boots) will only enhance your performance!!!!…..the feet are connected to the roots of the earth, if your feet are uncomfortable, it throws off the rest, as well. I love stylish shoes, and some people are slave’s to fashion, but I like to wear the best of both worlds – you can be sylishl AND…[Read more]

        • …AND, ofcourse, can’t wait to see you in those awesome boots ……well, my computer is acting up (need’s a tune up lol). Hope you have a SUPER, WING-FILLED-Flowing/Flying kind of day! :) :D

      • Olivier RE: ”Good art is resonance of the heart.” – Oh yes, absolutely!!!- love that, feel that, know that – but love your wording & expression of it – as always :) :) . I will write that on my wall of inspirations next to my laptop :)

        • I’m going to sing live this year, with friends and also in concerts and club settings, this is the best way to connect your heart, through expression as you describe! ;-) Needless to say all will be reported live on here! :-)

          • FANTASTIC OLIVIER!!!!…..I’m so happy & thrilled for you :) ….and also excited & can’t wait to see it all – YAY!!! :) :D ……you must tell us & share everything. Your dream (s) are here NOW :) …blessings always!! :)

            • I live the dream I foresee myself to live the day before, each day ahead….and it never fails ;) Growth is always adding Something new ;)

    • BTW I’m not sure why – but many times when I try to reply directly to a certain comment -.I can’t – it’s all fuzzy & only allows the comment to appear at the end of ALL the comments??!? – which is why many times, I add the comment to my reply, or the name :) . Just an FYI, not sure anything can be done about it – unless I am doing something…[Read more]

    • Olivier, I’m soo excited & wanted to share this with you, because I think you will understand my joy. 1st, I was rushing today, jumped online for a minute, saw comment w/ your exciting news – Wow!! – but had no time to comment back. After my appt., I went to the cafe’ – book & pen w/ me again – altho I was not really feeling particularly…[Read more]

    • Yes, Sayo – as you say – ”lift up, lift up!” – I certainly will…..once you grow wings, you must use them – yes?!…and FLY! lol :) :) …we lift up together – ALL ! :) . Have an ”uplifting” night :)

    • Thank you Olivier, I’m glad you liked my story…and yes, the good vibes are felt, and here, and will continue, as will the inspiration for all, I’m sure. And I know, and understand, the concept of ”less is more” – but, I’m a Sagittarian – I can’t help myself ahha :D

    • Olivier, I had a problem trying to respond directly to this message above, so I’m entering my comment here – RE: “I live the dream I foresee myself to live the day before, each day ahead….and it never fails Growth is always adding Something new ” OB – As usual, I agree, Growth on many levels has always been a huge part of my life – whether I’m…[Read more]

    • Yes, Sayo, we have ”special wings” to lift up & up, and fly high, my friend……see you up there :) :) . Have an uplifting night :) :)

      • wings… we say it ” tsubasa ” in japanese. :) tks lynda, have an uplifting weekend! :)

        • Arigato Sayo :) …..so then ’tenshi tsubasa’ would be ’angel wings’…?

          • sayo replied 3 months ago

            doh itashi mashite, lynda! :) yes, tenshi = angel! and we say it ” tenshi no tsubasa ” ! :)

            • Oh, okay, thank you – great! :) :)

              • sayo replied 3 months ago

                we have tenshi no tubasa! :)

                • Indeed!! :) :) (btw what does the ”no” in between mean ”with”…as in – angels with wings?? :)

                  • sayo replied 3 months ago

                    ” no ” means ” of ” , so it’s the same as wings of angels :)

                    • Thank you Sayo, now if I am pronouncing it correctly, that would be great lol :) . Actually, when I was in Greece some years ago, the word “no” was the hardest word for me to say, because we don’t have that particular sound here (I finally go it tho). I know some basics of Greek – 20-30 words – altho, not being around it, I am forgetting haha.…[Read more]

                      • sayo replied 3 months ago

                        doh itashi mashite, lynda! :) i know japanese is so unique language for you. greek? sounds interesting! it must be hard…! but sure i’m interested in it as other ones. learning languages is fun! sure i love :)

                        • Yes, Sayo, language is interesting indeed. But, I’d like to share w/ you too – life is exciting. I have been writing like crazy – I have 18 completed poems. They all just flew out of me like magic…flow, flow & flowing! There are 2 poems that I believe are meant to be songs, and I will adjust the words/lyrics accordingly. I have a good friend…[Read more]

        • I think many on this site have ’angel wings’ – yes Sayo?!…..I know you do, and, ofcourse, Olivier, too! :) Have a wonderful weekend, as well! :) :) ….- it might snow here today, so must get out before it hits lol :) Sayōnara (I only know a few words, but was responding in kind :) :)

          • sayo replied 3 months ago

            truly yes! :) you lynda and of course @Olivier, too! snow? it looks so cold…! pls don’t frozen your wings! :) tks, have a nice week! my name is ” sayo ” but not means good-bye, pls don’t worry! :D

            • Yes, Sayo, so wonderful to be connected to such incredible angels of light here, like you & Olivier (& Ewa too). It didn’t snow badly that day, which was good (although, I love snow @ other times – for it’s beauty & all). I haven’t had time to search around this site to see, or hear, all the great things that are posted here. I feel I’m…[Read more]

                you too, lynda! thank you for connecting! :) have a great night, great winter time, and happy st.valentine’s day! :)

                • Same to you Sayo :) …..enjoy some chocolate :D . The husband, of a good friend of mine, is out of town (he’s an Opera Singer), so she’s having a Valentine’s Day Party, combined with a celebration for the Chinese New Year (& year of the Dragon) – creative family lol – we all create & add to the fun, and talk alot about the subjects similar to…[Read more]

                • Oh, and I really must try to get on this site more, so I can see the great photos, Olivier’s writings, and the great music you & he, and others put on here,etc…I need more time lol :) – as we all do, I’m sure :) :). Have a super day!

                  • A great personal tip of mine about time: waking up at the same regular very early (if possible) time every day, and planning for a set time to start being productive daily, this frees up so much time later in the day… :-)

                    • sayo replied 3 months ago

                      the rhythm is important in your life! it makes you healthy, creative and happy! you have such a great rhythm, olivier ♪ :)

                      • Yes, rhythm of the day, and rhythm of each song I work on every day! ;-)

                        • sayo replied 3 months ago

                          be rhythmist ♪ ;)

                        • Fascinating how rhythms can change in an instant :) . Do you find that true, too, Olivier? I know when I am writing – especially in the cafe – I may have to start 3 different sections (well, usually, atleast 2) – because certain things bring me to a whole other idea/subject/feeling to write about, etc…ya know what I mean ? :)

                          • I agree… We often have several emotions at the same time, and writing is about finding the strongest and truest emotion to let it come out first and foremost ;-)

                            • Yes, Olivier, I agree with you as always. One of my poems actually mentions how the different subjects/thoughts, each “fight” – so to speak – to find a way to be expressed. And, sometimes I start writing from 1 thought, but it leads into a totally different poem and expression from where I started :) – the flow – it will go where it will go,…[Read more]

                            • I’ll share with you a quote I love: “All meditative techniques are a help to destroy the false. They don’t give you the real – the real cannot be given. That which can be given is not real. This real, you have got already, just the false has to be taken away.” – OSHO. YOU do a great job at being REAL,you’ve helped us take away the false, adn…[Read more]

                              • Thank you :-) My greatest aspiration is to be real, to be myself, my best self, every single day! ;-)

                                • I feel that quality, aspiration, from you, that’s one of the greatest things/qualities about you – your realness – yet always with positivity and coming from the heart, sincere – which shows us your rich soul, your brilliant mind, and your kind heart….you give us so much, yet I’m not sure you even know it – and that’s perfectly ok :) . Bestest…[Read more]

                    • When I mentioned that I sometimes have to start 3 separate sections, I meant in the book that I carry with me, to write in. Last week, I ran in for a sweet, and did not bring my book with me that day, thinking I would be running around too much…but BOOM…..thoughts & words came flying thru my mind, and I had to get to a nearby store quickly to…[Read more]

                      • Fascinating! I was actually thinking of using a few French words in one of my upcoming songs :-D

                        • Wow, more synchronicity…..in sync :D .! I cant wait to hear more of your music, your voice, your songs (& French – yes :) – I know it is all getting closer & closer…..I’m so excited for you, and for all of us to hear you, and to have shared, & been a little part of your incredible journey!! :)

    • @olivier were you, in fact, in the northern lands?

    • Yes, Sayo, I enjoyed alot of chocolate & good food & conversation :D …and yes, this family (my friends) are very good, & creative people. You’re right, too, I know many people, but I now choose only to share my time, talk, or internet with like-minded souls like all of us here :) – generally speaking, I mean :) – because there are also lovely…[Read more]

    • For you, Oliver Bassil, do you like this song…. Boots are made for walkin by Nancy Sinatra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbyAZQ45uww :) xx

  • Hey guys! ;-) I’m on a roll of new songs, working full days and wrapping a new song every few days!

    • I have many passions (altho I totally understand what you meant above, by traveling for your ”passion” :) And, I feel, there must be passion within us, to have a passion (s) outside of ourselves :) :) . And, if this is so, then each breathe is a passionate one. Wishing you passionate moments every day! :) ;-D

      • Breathing is a passion of mine ;-)

        • I agree totally Olivier – “loving trips that help you grow and bring whole new opportunities to your life!” – totally, absolutely-love them!!!!….actually, any day, or moment, can be an amazing trip, as well. Many days, I just go out & meet the world with awareness of being in the moment, exchanges with whoever I meet along the way – that come…[Read more]
