"To live for today,
and to love for tomorrow,
is the wisdom of a fool.
Tomorrow is promised to no one,
love is a wonderful thing,
that the whole wide world needs plenty of.
If you think for one minute that you can live without it,
you are only fooling yourself..."
This old song lyrics from Tom Jones is my guide to be happy. I am real, I am genuine. Friends who know me, understand exactly what I mean by being real. If you want to know more about me , be my friend. You won't regret. I am the happiest person you will ever meet in your life. I love everyone in this world. Beatles told us that all we need is love and I strongly believe in it. I have so much love in my heart that I smile with my heart and never hesitate to share with the rest of the world's population. I hear the word "prejudice" from others, because it doesn't exist in my vocabulary. I belong to baby-boomer's generation, I contributed to this world a beautiful daughter with a strong personality.
In the beginning, some people, when they meet Brenda, they might get confused. They are confused to see a tall girl with a deep voice. Later they find out that I am a "girl" just with a different taste in life. Then they try to classify me under some category. Personally, I don't belong to any category that you encountered during your life. Trust me, Brenda is unique. Being Brenda is not an act, no drama either. I am just myself, just the way I am, just the way I feel in my heart, in my soul, in my brain. There is no hidden agenda. That's why I have tons of male friends accepting me as "one of the guys", and tons of female friends accepting me as "one of the girls". Sorry guys, I don't like sports. I think that, where my girly part gets dominant, I rather watch a romantic movie and cry. I knooooow.... Stupid of me... Well, I promised myself to be real, and that's who I am.
I think I get along very well with any age group of both gender, from 20ies to 60ies even older. The reason, again is very simple: As I shared with you earlier, when I figured out that Brenda is real me, I already missed my youth and every other important phase of my life. And now I am catching up to it by living my youth, my middle age and my adult life at the same moment. By this, I am not suggesting you to be Brenda, I am telling you to be your true selves... You'll see right away how the load that you carry on your shoulders, will disappear in a split of second and will never bother you again.
Being so much in peace with my inner self, I have an undivided positive energy reflecting to others. Trust me it is so simple to accomplish. You got that power in you already. All you have to do is to reach in, and grab it, and bring it to the surface, and others will see it, will notice it. See… I told you, it is easy. Well... Actually I am not expecting anyone to reach there in the next twenty seconds. It took many years for me to understand myself. It's like longer than a lifetime.. considering average life span of a human being in 16th-17th century was 35 years. But once you get there... This is it...
I believe in God but I am not religious, nor spiritual (OK, maybe a little). I am simply logical, maybe on the emotional side.
Let's see what else I can come up with...
I was born in an exotic city over half a century ago. I lived in 3 different countries in 3 different continents.(I guess my lucky number is 3) I speak 3 languages (there you go again) that's why I cannot help myself with my accent. Well, many find it sexy... (hmmmmm). I had a rainbow of jobs, mostly my own businesses starting from 70'ies. Fashion was my life and still is, computers are my middle name, photography is the cherry in my cherry pie. If I wanted to mention 2 top businesses that I had in my life, I would go with, being a fur designer for 17 years (I missed all the shows in Paris, Milan, Frankfurt, Munich..), and being in internet design/digital photography for 14 years. This year, I’m back to design my elegant but simple clothing line: Fashion Blonde.
As education, I have a degree in business and administration and a baccalaureat degree in French literature, and most important, my biggest accomplishment, a life time achievement award of being a kind and loving person in this universe.
I was married 3 times (baaaad Brenda...!), and currently successfully (!) divorced. I would like to drop a note right here, that there won't be any 4th one. My close friends are having fun with me on this subject, knowing that I can fall in love so easily. So far I am keeping myself out of trouble to prove them wrong. It means that I am "happily single".
I love traveling. I've traveled zillions of times, across the countries such as Canada, US, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, old Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey. While back in 80ies, every year, I used to open swimming season in Nice, France. The place I like the most is Monte Carlo (Monaco). And most of the time I drive. I love driving. In 2006, I started from West Palm Beach and drove all the way to California, from San Diego to San Francisco, and from there, to the obvious stop, Las Vegas and I drove back, through all the states between Florida and California. During this 11000 miles journey, I really enjoyed to travel on famous "route 66" or on whatever left of it, and through Navajo and Hopi Indian reserves.
I called this My space page as "Brenda's Party". I believe that life is a party. Oh no..! I am not talking about "partying like there is no tomorrow" per se... Of course during a party you got to splurge yourself in things like drinking, smoking, dancing, and many other tiny sins... But the main ingredient in a party environment is "fun". Having fun time is the backbone, the spirit of the partying concept. Don't you want to have fun in your life? All your life? Never regret a day of it? If your obvious answer to this obvious question is "yes"… So join me... Be my friend, be yourself and let's party... Your happiness is on me..!
Welcome to "Brenda's Party", a celebration of life, love and happiness…
