Mihran Kalaydjian suggest: Your energy should be focused on finding a solution, quickly and effectively. I am at my best when I have a tight deadline, but every aspect of the project is planned, organized and working in excellence.
I smile without a reason,
And wait for you without a plan.
No clock, no promise, just the thought of you—
Enough to make my heart stand.
I remember you in joy’s soft light,
When laughter fills the air.
But I miss you most in silence,
When I reach, and you’re not there.
You are not a moment, you are all the space between,
In every pause, in every scene.
No need for words, no need for proof—
Just the quiet truth:
I feel you, because you are you.
How soft the night feels,
yr breath grazing my skin
Maybe I’ve fallen in love
with the Moon
I wrapped myself in the mist
letting its murmurs sway
upon the sea
As though you’re the verse
that slips from my mind, &
there, beneath your gaze,
my poems shine
illuminated by the stars

Every year, July 4 reminds Americans not just of fireworks and barbecues, but of a powerful turning point in history—the moment a young nation found its voice!
Happy 4th of July! Wishing you time to reflect, to rest, and to enjoy the people around you. No matter where you are, may the spirit of liberty and unity reach you today. Hope your Independence Day sparkles as bright as the fireworks tonight!
dream with me tonight
love me ethereally
as our bodies rest
our souls will play
let your consciousness
sensuously spill into mine
allow the waves of your energy
to tantalize my toes
and the gravity of my longing
to guide your transcendent tides
come to me love

Lyrics:
To all the girls I’ve loved before Who traveled in and out my door I’m glad they came along I dedicate this song To all the girls I’ve loved before
To all the girls I once caressed And may I say, I’ve held the best For helping me to grow, I owe a lot, I know To all the girls I’ve loved before
The winds of change are always blowing And every time I tried to stay The winds of change continued blowing And they just carried me a way
To all the girls who shared my life Who now are someone else’s wife I’m glad they came along I dedicate this song To all the girls I’ve loved before
To all the girls who cared for me Who filled my nights with ecstasy They live within my heart I’ll always be a part Of all the girls I’ve loved before
The winds of change are always blowing And every time I tried to stay The winds of change continued blowing And they just carried me way
To all the girls we’ve loved before Who traveled in and out our door We’re glad they came along We dedicate this song To all the girls we’ve loved before
To all the girls we’ve loved before Who traveled in and out our doors We’re glad they came along We dedicate this song To all the girls we’ve loved, before
The huge, fast-moving fires are stretching the region’s firefighting resources.

Fast-moving fires that reached across the Los Angeles area this week have burned more than 1,000 homes, destroyed beloved landmarks and forced more than 100,000 people to flee the fast-approaching flames.
The three largest fires —in the coastal Pacific Palisades neighborhood, in the suburban Pasadena area and in a rural stretch of the San Fernando Valley — were not at all contained as of Wednesday night. Officials warned that more damage was likely as heavy winds and dry conditions continued to fuel their rapid growth.
Here’s the latest on the blazes:
Where are the fires burning?
Four big fires were burning in different parts of the Los Angeles area on Wednesday. To the west, the Palisades fire had scorched more than 15,000 acres and forced evacuations in cities and neighborhoods along the Pacific Coast Highway, including the Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Santa Monica. The residences in these areas include iconic mansions on bluffs that tower over the Pacific as well as tracts of homes in beachside neighborhoods.
To the east, a fire ignited on Wednesday night in the Hollywood Hills, an area that is etched with hiking trails and dotted with secluded mansions. The Sunset fire, forcing evacuations in one of the most densely populated parts of Los Angeles, had spread to 20 acres as of 8 p.m. on Wednesday.
Further east, a fire north of Pasadena in the San Gabriel Mountains had burned more than 10,000 acres as of Wednesday evening, and destroyed 100 homes. The blaze is called the Eaton fire because it began in Eaton Canyon in the mountains that are perhaps best known for the often snowcapped, highest peak referred to as Mt. Baldy. The fire has forced more than 32,000 evacuations in suburban areas where many homes are nestled against mountain foothills.
And to the north, the Hurst fire had extended to 500 acres and was burning in the San Fernando Valley, about 25 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. While the Valley itself is densely populated, Sylmar is a more rural area that was once known for its olive orchards and is now home to horse properties.
How many homes have been destroyed?
The Palisades fire has destroyed more than 1,000 homes, officials said on Wednesday, and another 15,000 structures were at risk. The fire has also razed several beloved local institutions, including the Malibu Feed Bin, which had sold pet supplies and gifts since 1966, and Palisades Charter High School, the alma mater of numerous celebrities as well as the filming location of many TV shows, including “Modern Family.”
The Eaton fire has so far burned about 100 homes, officials said. Flames had seriously damaged at least part of the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center, which has been operating for more than a century.
In periods without significant precipitation, as has been the case this winter, the vegetation becomes extremely parched. And cooler weather in California coincides with the Santa Ana winds, the strong and dry gusts that blow west from Nevada and Utah to Southern California — and are linked to the region’s most devastating fires.
Are the fires expected to keep growing?
Unfortunately, yes. Firefighters are limited in their ability to fight the fires from helicopters, as aircraft are grounded in places because of the strong winds. Firefighting resources are also stretched thin given the simultaneously burning fires, and in some places fire hydrants have begun to run dry amid the excessive demand.
Though winds began diminishing , they will be moderately strong in Los Angeles Palisades fireand Ventura Counties through Thursday, according to weather officials.
Fire officials are asking people who have not evacuated but live near the fires to stay alert, as the blazes are likely to move fast and unpredictably in the coming hours. And they are asking everyone in Southern California to beware of new fires.
