~ cherishing life...

good morning & may a lovely new week lie ahead of us ~

 a creative one

 a peaceful one

 a happy one

  one celebrating life every day

 for no other reason special than 

 that we are alive, healthy & living in countries where there is no war, disease or hunger

I know that some of you are anticipating posts here,

which makes me realise the serious choice I made

in writing a blog,

connected to my life & work

It is trully an amazing feeling knowing that my thoughts, words & feelings are read by you,

accompanied by seeing my pictures.

I start feeling that a writer inside of me is being developed 

& 

you can trust me, this is something I had never been counting on,

neither expecting, wishing , nor dreaming off or whatever else.

a writer emerging out of the interior decorator in me,

my past identity as an English teacher

&

and the never forgetting experience of completing my studies in psychology

and then setting off to discovering myself,

through a long lasting psychoanalysis.

the sessions might have been completed after almost 8 years

but of course,

the journey to life itself is a never ending, self discovering, experience...

It's a special day in Greece today*

&

very sad news reached me about distant family members

concerning their heath,

so I' ve decided to keep the scheduled posts starting from tomorrow here,

including announcing the blog celebration + give away's winner.

{... you won't keep any hard feelings about that, will you?}

* big religious celebration for mother Mary's birthday

despite the fact that I'm not typically religious in any way,

neither living in Greece momentarily,

I realise that the more I set my roots in Germany,

the more I wish to keep some of the traditions I grew up with

for me such cases are wonderful chances to

get in touch with myself & feelings,

while devoting some extra time to internal peace

&

calmness...

I also know that my beloved granny would have loved to see

that this day is still somehow special for me.

So, eventhough I have already since early morning started working on my projets,

I'll temporarily stay away from the on line world

some beloved links to leave you with:

~> we love chocolate souffle  & it is one dessert that might be getting baked

~> we have decided to live in grey happiness

and I find so much more in life by sometimes

reading between the lines

~> we are preparing & launching Project33,

a part of which will be the new photography label
