Love is all around...

"Painting is just another way of keeping a diary"

(Pablo Picasso)

And if I were to read anything into this painting it would be something like...LOVE!

I'm sitting taking deep breaths only because I was so scared to do this. I've been trying to get myself to do what I want to do for years, but all the fear, rejection, absent self-love, 'what would others think'...were much stronger than it does not care...it's just about creating.

We moved countries 6 months ago - different weather, culture, people, living conditions, work conditions...everything change...and I have realised that I do not adapt well to change. (even though I would love to live a few months in every country on our planet...just for the experience!)

Then yesterday I realised that in 6 months 2007 will be history and I was asking myself the question 'what did I/we accomplish this year?' A very easy answer...we moved countries. But for me that was not the answer I was looking for me, eventhough that would have been enough for others...And today some of the thoughts in my head was....I've done my first painting! I don't worry what others think of me, my paintings, my work, my being...as long as I know in my heart that I have given my best...and I have made a difference in someone else's day...I realised today that I'm content with being by myself, and it is ok not to talk to your friends every single day (that is why I started this blog...in search of friends...)I've also realised that it' ok to have time for yourself, to discover what makes you tick/happy/fabulous/alive!

I love where I'm now. I love spending so much time with my hubbie. I just luvvvv sitting at my gorgeous desk (full of butterflies/flowers/ladybugs), writing! I love writing! I love playing around with words...and I love painting. I don't think I would ever become a 'painter/artist'...etc...but I've realised that everyone of us are an artist in our own way. We only have to be true to ourselves...LOVE ourselves (big one!) and do things that inspire us to be the best 'me' you can be.

Getting back to my first painting...the sentence dancing around in my head...is...love is all around...

What sentence will be dancing in your head after you have done something you wanted to do for soooo long?

Magic...

I was driving around taking photographs....wondering what life is all about...I drove passed a green field and saw the horses playing. I stopped...walked closer and this "beauty" came to play...when seeing the photo...I was thinking...magic...everywhere...you just have to see it!

M3

My sweet husband, M3 is what we will call him...is everything...which I never knew...but the longer I'm with him, the more I learn from him...he is content with LIFE. He is always happy where he is...he is patient with himself, don't question his own abilities...believe he is where he needs to be. He is calm, funny and it's difficult to get him in a serious mood...he is just so content.
Sometimes when we talk I will think 'you don't have a clue'...and then he will just ask one question...and I want to run! He is brilliant, clever, intelligent, never-minded, funny (again), sporty, love himself....I still have so much to learn....

Unfamiliar ground

I'm here. After reading all your blogs....and thinking of how to become 'friends of the blogger ya-ya-sisterhood'...I thought...why not. You want to become more creative...connected...make new friends...(even if it is on the internet)...so just do it!

So here I am...thinking of how I'm going to make my blog space present who I am...you just wait!
