Etniks (women)

Love the card collection from this beautifull project Etniks, about ethnicities around the world. How they are dressed and how they used to be dressed. It is a really strong design with a good story, do visit the website (soon the webshop will be open!).

Down at the living room, we still have big white walls waiting for wooden bookshelves. Today i taped the women prints on the wall. I am really looking forward to my home made bookcase because i do so much miss my books. But in the meanwhile i enjoy these beautifull prints from Etniks!

More Tas-ka

Really love the fresh fabrics of design duo Tas-ka!

Good morning

Just do it

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

Lao-tzu

Stepping out and doing something new can be scarry

sometimes you know it is time to move forward

when it is truly time

you just need a little encouragement

Spring flowers

Just love the bright colours of anemone's. They brighten my day!

 

The Present

 "The clock is running. 

Make the most of today.

Time waits for no man. 

Yesterday is history. 

Tomorrow is a mystery. 

Today is a gift. 

That's why it is called the present."

Spring is finally coming

I have been really restless lately. It has been hard to find peace in mind, feeling lost in my old dreams. I thought being home alone for a couple of weeks would make life easier, but actually......NOT. It was quit a mirror. I bumped into all those limiting beliefs that sneaked in my mind.

The good thing is that i now know that i don't want to be looking through some of these filters. I am ready for a fresh new year and Spring is on my mind right now. There are birds again in my life. They sing every morning and bring joy back in life. So finally i put myself in Granny's chair and i am writting this post, realizing my self-care is out of balance. Although i eat and drink well (i stopped drinking alcohol and caffeine 3 months ago) i lack discipline and energy to do the things i really like. Things that makes me relax and (mental) strong.

So i made a list of all the ways i can take care of myself and noticed that there are different areas in my life which i bend to forget about. Like taking care of my appearance or listening to my favorite music. It is important to create time and space for yourself. So i decided to try to take it easy at work, blogging, running and gardening are now high on my priority list!
