Everything


When you're lying about, dreaming ...

... what is it you wish for?
For dresses with sparkly bodices?

... a rose ring for a freshly-manicured finger?

... sweet bites from a secret admirer?

... or a cake made just for you?

... something pink and whisper lighf?
|
... perfect sunsets to end each day?

... enough flowers in your gardens
to pick the prettiest bouquets everyday?

Dreaming and wishing ...
when I was a child, a teacher told my mom this:
"She's a dreamer."
Indeed I am.

Dreaming helps me to
create the illustrations I create,
to write these posts
and to take you to new places without a plane ticket

But in the midst of dreaming and wishing ...
and planning and creating,
I sometimes have to remind myself to look around me.
To open my eyes and really taste the coffee I'm sipping,
to look at the beauty of the cup I hold with the gold handle.
To really see the sun sparkling in the leaves of the tree
on that very day.
To sit and listen to a friend.
To be now.


My head has been very much into
creating girls in the city for a pretty calendar.
When I'm busy like this,
it's especially important to remind myself to be present.
So when I thought of what to do today's post on,
I thought that this one thought is really ...
everything. 

Have a wonderful week, lovelies ...
thank you so much for dropping by.
Wishing you a week of dreams and wishes and
seeing all of the magic already all around you.
