Tea with a Gift Master

Gift Master & Gifts

Lyuba Medarova is a Gift Master. A real one. With her own gift house ‘Kordella’ in Sofia (tel: +359 2 980 6623). If you need a proper gift or a consultancy on the non-verbal communication of gifts, ask the Master. “If the gift you make is liked by the recipient, then you’ve put a bit of your soul in it”, she quotes a Japanese saying. I did not want to go out of the cosy house, but will re-visit … soon.

Below in a nutshell a quick glance at zodiac signs & gifts. The full text of Lyuba’s views on the issue (Word doc) – in Bulgarian.

10 principles of each sign:-)

Via The Site of a Woman I came across the 10 Principles of each zodiac sign (in Bulgarian). My top favourites on each sign:

√ It’s so boring to be like the rest (Aquarius)
√ Figaro here, Figaro there… (Gemini)
√ The hardest choice to make is to choose (Libra)

√ I control the situation easier than my emotions (Aries)
√ If we are to do something, it has to be Something (Leo)
√ Pangs of consciousness/remorse? What’s that? (Sagittarius)

√ Don’t disturb the one who is sitting comfortably (Taurus)
√ Big & complicated things make me confused (Virgo)
√ Only I get younger as years pass by (Capricorn)

√ Good company – that’s my element (Cancer)
√ To smile, you need a sound reason (Scorpio)
√ I get along with everybody but myself (Pisces)

Zodiac Essays

The other day I asked a 5-year-old (Aquarius) if he had already written a letter to Santa Claus with his wishes. His response  sounded so familiar: “Not yet. Mom says I change my mind too often, so I’d better write him when we get closer to the day”.  Below zodiac essays are among the best I’ve come across:  Yovko.net (in Bulgarian).
