One day he was walking along the banks, Poli stopped amazed. At the edge of the waterhole was called thereafter Lavu A DI FATA (Fairy Lake) or TUFONE DI A FATA, he noticed a fairy who came to wash, then ran like a snake in a slot dug by the vortices.  

  

He ends up falling in love with one who, every morning he came secretly to visit and asked her to marry him. It was moved and agreed to marry him but on one condition:

  -That Paoli no attempt, during their married life, to know how she ate and drank .... Poli accepted ....

During years they lived happily and had three sons and three daughters. But one day, alas, curiosity prevailed. Poli had broken his promise, the fairy disappeared by taking her three daughters.

Charlie Challenge : Day 6

http://youmeandcharlie.com/charlie/charlie-challenge-day-6/

We hope that your weekend was full of adventure and you still have a full day ahead of you….so how about getting lost? Shall we? Let’s go.

Prompt #6- Write a short story about the time you got lost. 

At a party, we had several friends with several cars. we had to follow, to go to this event. nobody knew the way. It should be noted that where I live, as soon as one leaves the city, one finds herself in the campaign, making it difficult orientation. You should know that we were all in the same class in college but without being best friends.

Initially, we had difficulty getting out of town. I do not know why, but that night, a GPS would have been more useful than 4 cars lol. when we are on the highway exit that we had to take was closed! ouch!

We continue to the next exit. also closed. Oh my god! only means of communication, the telephone. I can tell you that we laughed. for almost 1 hour, we turned right round, we perdans one and other. during calls I heard shouting and laughing. Some shouted to go right, others to turn back, others were completely desperate by our incompetence lol

I decide to return to our path. After a few minutes of silence, we heard a huge noise motor. As an aircraft engine. it was a sports car, which we exceeded. Could have seen if our heads at that time.

We finally found the way. when we are down cars. we all sides in laughter. Throughout the evening, no one understood why we were laughing, reminding us in this event. after that night we all stayed very close and we always start in the evening together.

Even in the most difficult situations, we can find pleasure

Charlie Challenge : Day 5

 http://youmeandcharlie.com/charlie/charlie-challenge-day-5/

What better way to start off a Saturday than to put pen to paper and let your mind free, sans judgement, free writing! Find a cozy cafe, your favorite journal and tell us a story. Blush, ooo…blush. 

Prompt #5: Pen and Paper: Then I felt my cheeks turn rosy pink________ (finish the story.)

Then I felt my cheeks turn pink. I had no idea why. I was with my friends for a party. and I felt a look at me. 

I am not the person most comfortable with this situation. a look right, he was there. for a few seconds, I thought he looked one of my friends, honestly, they are much prettier than me. but his eyes were insistent. 

I think I turned as red as the wine was in front of me. he was tall and had a look of rugbyman. his beard was emerging. brown hair and hazel eyes. everything I love.

Again, I was not convinced, he looked at me me, or maybe it was because I had something weird on my face. I went out to take a little air to smoke my cigarette. One of my friends came with me. 

Few minutes later he was out, his glass in hand. my friend is realized in the situation, even though I had observed series. she told me to go talk to him, I'd rather replied that, dig a hole and throw myself into it. I never go to a man, this is something that is beyond my strength. I can't explain it. Then, my friend took matters in hand. I wanted to run, run and run far away. throw me in the first passing car, or hope that the end of the world to come a little earlier than was expected. 

He came over and we talk together. he came to ask me why, I think not to be the reason for his looks. I showed him my friends, their sexiness, their beautiful shoes, their gorgeous dresses. he replied, that I didn't look different from it except my smile. then I could have fainted. 

After spending the evening with him, and promised to meet again, one of my friends asked me if I knew who this guy was. I said no. this is one of the player's team rygby of the city (it's a big team)!!... oh great! I have looked silly asking him what he did for a living. I should have suspected something when he laughed and didn't respond. lol

But I saw him again, and we dated almost 5 years. Life decided otherwise for us. but if there is one lesson of this story is to never doubt yourself, your charm and positive attitude you can have on people, even if they seems unreachable.

sorry for mistakes

these people who inspire us (You, Me and Charlie)

It is incredible the influence that one person can have relative to her image, her lifestyle, her experience ...

Often people think that you are influenced, because that person is famous. It's probably true. She touches, because she is popular and she embodies something special. But in recent months, some women are exceptions.

We are not talking about me lol but few artists, writers and others that touch us by their words, their actions and their vision of life.

A few months ago, I joined a new world. a world of inspiration, sharing, and a lot of magic. This world was created by a famous artist, Dianna Agron. But it is led by people, less known but equally talented. Welcome to the World of You, Me and Charlie. welcome to the charlies.

I wrote about one of them. It was  Ashley Arabian, our favorite writer and traveler. My admiration for her, has still not faded. She strengthens, every picture, sentence, text published.

But there also  Chelsea Latimer. She's the kind of person you wanted to have as a friend. I'm sure that's the kind of friend who always gives you a smile. Chelsea is one of Charlies who manages the website. Every day, I would like to thank her for her work. I am not alone. I am fortunate to be one of the contributors of the site (I still do not know how), and it's always a pleasure to be published.

Whatsoever, Ashley, Chelsea, Lexy, Eliza and others ..... these women inspire thousands of people. Many have developed a real admiration for them. Once, someone told me that she felt stupid to be a fan of someone who wasn't really famous. I replied that it was even better, because ultimately, she was touched by the person, and her real talent. To be honest, I'm more excited at the idea of ​​reading a tweet from Ashley and Chelsea that some famous artists that I follow on twitter, but shush!

The word artist is synonymous with famous? We are all artists in our own way?

Another contributor to the site gave me a beautiful definition of the word artist. For her, being an artist means being able to see the beauty of the world and to transcribe, with writing, music, photography or art. so I say "I'm an artist!" maybe one day I would be able to touch someone. Certainly not with my words lol but through my piano or my photos. I conclude that everyone can be an artist in his own way.

But this article is primarily intended to honor the women, like Dianna, Ashley, Chelsea, Eliza, Lexy, ... who touch us every day and can not imagine, as they have changed the lives of thousands. This is why the world of "You, Me and Charlie" is magic, because he makes us travel, dream, love, and share. Since I Rejoind this community, I want to play the piano every day, read, watch movies that nobody knows, listening to music that does not include DJ lol and look at the sky, the sun, moon and stars even more.  

Thank you for your inspiration, your talent and optimism.

Aleph by Paulo Coelho (book excerpt)

 Forgiveness

"Hilal speaks softly but the acoustics of the church are so perfect that everything she says seems to echo throughout the four corners. But my experience tells me that she is channelling the spirit of a child.

The tears I shed, I forgive.
The suffering and disappointments, I forgive.
The betrayals and lies, I forgive.
The slandering and scheming, I forgive.
The hatred and persecution, I forgive.
The punches that were given, I forgive.
The shattered dreams, I forgive.
The dead hopes, I forgive.
The disaffection and jealousy, I forgive.
The indifference and ill will, I forgive.
The injustice in the name of justice, I forgive.
The anger and mistreatment, I forgive.
The neglect and oblivion, I forgive.
The world with all its evil, I forgive.

She lowers her arms, opens her eyes and places her hands on her face.I move closer to kiss her, but she makes a signal with her hands.

- I have not finished yet.

She closes her eyes and looks up.

Grief and resentment, I replace with understanding and agreement.
Revolt, I replace with music that comes from my violin.
Pain I replace with oblivion.
Revenge, I replace with victory.

I will be able to love above all discontentment.
To give even when I am stripped of everything.
To work happily even when I find myself in the midst of all obstacles.
To dry tears even when I am still crying.
To believe even when I am discredited. 

She opens her eyes, puts her hands on my head and says with an authority that comes from above:

- Thy will be done. Thy will be done."

ALICE IN WONDERLAND 

Joy Harjo - poem

a woman can’t survive
by her own breath
alone
she must know
the voices of mountains
she must recognize
the foreverness of blue sky
she must flow
with the elusive
bodies
of night wind women
who will take her into
her own self
look at me
I am not a separate woman
I am a continuance
of blue sky
I am the throat
of the sandia mountains
a night wind woman
who burns
with every breath
she takes

Charlie Challenge : Day 2 .

 http://youmeandcharlie.com/charlie/charlie-challenge-day-2/

"The other day I was a passenger in my friend’s car and while we drove up through the winding streets of Silverlake, I hadn’t realized that we had already made it back to my own neighborhood. I was happily peering out at all this “new” stuff around me.  I was so used to the route that I’d taken, that I didn’t realize only a few blocks from my place were cafes, restaurants, little bungalows that I’d never seen before. Had I just decided to take a couple different streets, I could see my neighborhood in a completely different way. It got me thinking- EVERYTHING in your life can be seen from various different angles- have you ever sat on the floor of your kitchen and thought…this looks like a completely different house from down here? Have you ever gotten incredibly frustrated with a project, but then you sleep on it and come back with “Fresh Eyes” and the project has new life all of sudden? On a small scale, we want you to take what you’re doing RIGHT now and see it from a different angle…    

Take a photo of where you are RIGHT this second. Except, shift your perspective, what do you see? Write your revelation in one sentence"

"I don't have sea views, but, even lying in bed I have the best view in the world"

You, Me and Charlie

Charlie Challenge : Day 1

http://youmeandcharlie.com/charlie/charlie-challenge-day-1/ 

Write your personal manifesto. This could be an essay, a sentence, a word… the beginning of your novel. Get creative. What are you about?

By me

Today YOU want to be happy.

 Take a second and look at what is around you!

Look at the sky, the sun, some clouds
Look at the flowers, yes it's spring
look at children play, laugh and sing
look at smiles, listen to the laughter
look at your family, they are all there
look at your friends
I see love and joy....

for a moment, not trying to be happy, because you already are.. tomorrow can be different, but it's tomorrow....
