Spic-and-Span

 

Had an unplanned need to change everything around

and baked myself a crisp new look.

 

Feels nice to be different from what I was before.

 

Is almost like putting on a totally new outfit.

Goodbye Winter

Goodbye Winter!

You have been amazing this year!

We have had so much snow fall, and even the odd storm here and there

 

Your skies were mostly blue and bright.

 

 

You have been wintry wonderfully white!

 

 

We have loved every minute of it!

 

 

 

We are looking forward to seeing you again at the end of the year!

 

In the meantime we are getting ready for sun bathing

and swimming and picknicking and being outside as much as possible!

To remain

My life has been a constant coming and going, moving and staying.

I have moved from country to country.

I wrapped and packed our belongings more times than I care to remember.

I have only ever had one dream, and that was to have a simple life.

Small dreams and simplicity of living.....

 

But I guess life had different plans for me.

Instead we have been living upside down in a state of uncertainty.

My dream remains the same.

I dream of boring simple living....

 

... and feel blessed all the same.

I have such a lovely bunch of family right around me.

 

 

My cup as always been full.

And for that I am grateful.

 

Our adventure is still in full motion,

will we stay, will we go.

 

It would be nice to finally just stay.

I will keep you posted.

Life is not boring, that is for certain.

Our magic world

I feel so blessed, to be part of the skies and the trees.

This wondrous planet that is filled with wonder.

 

I am very easily pleased.

When the first snow started to fall this morning, I had my shoes on and my scarf wrapped before you can say needtogooutsidepronto. My child looked at me funny, thinking that her mum had definitely lost her marbles. But it is all good. I've got this.

 

I skipped and walked through the fresh new snow, cupping a large hot coffee in my hands.

The steam touching my face. And I whispered to the Weather-Gods,

"thank you for the magic"

 



Winter Wonderland *

I am such a Winter person.

I love the wind whipping around the house, and the surprise snow first thing in the morning. Magically colouring our world outside the window in the most beautiful crisp white.

I love wrapping myself up in colourful scarfs. The big chunky gloves and the crunching sound under my feet as I walk around in the perfect stillness.

 

For some odd reason hot cocoa tastes so much better, too.

And my children's red cheeks and big grins when they drag their dirty feet into the hallway.

It is just so lovely.

 

Precious

Life is a funny old thing, isn't it.

It can be such a chore to go from one day to the next, and I shan't even mention the bumps one can encounter along the way. But amidst of all the rising and all the falling, there is always that consistency of Love. That amazing feeling of belonging and being part of a bigger picture. And it makes all those bumps easier to climb, because you are never alone. Love is great that way, it won't let you do it on your own. And I have been really lucky to have a whole bunch of people in my life that are special. And make each step of the way precious. None of the rubbish matters really.

Because we have each other xxx

B u r s t i n g

 

 

 

I have been traveling on this path, and it has a distinct hue of greens and bursts of rainbow colours.

I think it is the Light, you know. That has been showering us and then the shedding of shadows, yes,

the shedding, that has been good. * shrugs *

 

My life a kaleidoscope of children and lights and colours and many places to discover.

I am on track, and my path is brilliant, even with the pot holes and the unexpected hill here and there.

I have been writing. A lot. There is a stain of black ink on my fingers that has not left yet. Not for months. And there is lots of bubbling ideas and colourful illustrations sitting in folders.

I am creating and walking and shedding and most of all enjoying the Light.

 

I will be back soon with more photos and I hope I still have some readers left on my blog.

I have been too quiet. Too absent.

 

But I will be getting back into sharing bits of my life, my art, my creations and my loves.

 

If you are reading along, hello!

I certainly hope you are enjoying this wonderful Season as much as we are!

Surrounded

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am surrounded with all the things that I love so dearly.

 

This endless green certainly is beautiful.

Thank you Seasons, for all this wonderfulness

Love is .....

... because at the end of the day, all that truly matters is those you love,

and to be loved. None of the other stuff is important.

We have each other.

In the neighbourhood

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Staying close to home. Nothing like a quick dip in the water.

New Year 2012

It has arrived. A brand-new year stretched right in front of us. Full of promise. 

I don't wish for much, but please don't let it be anything like the old year. 

I wish for moments of joy, and oceans of calm. 

I hope to find my place and a sense of being fine.

I would like my body to find balance

and my mind to be at peace. 

I wish for you, what you wish for yourself. 

Let there be sweetness, happy New Year x
