You can immediately see it in his eyes... this is one hyperactive and social dog. He instantly makes friends with every other dog that crosses his path. Are you coming to play, he asks defiantly. And most of the time he is successful. :-)

Cleopatra crushed beetles

to make red lipstick

because even in 30BC

she knew speaking 12 languages

would be even more impressive

when the words jumped

through a ring of fire

circus mouth

ruby woo. I smile and split

At certain times in your life, everything seems to fall in place. Everything? well a lot. :-)

All previous events seemed like a prelude to this moment. Moments of which you thought how did I end up in this, turned out to be precisely right. If only to realize what you actually find important in this life. And moments that were already beautiful find a new form. This could also apply to your love life.

What a delight. Congratulations together!

Today I've painted a miniature portret of a family member. A family that is very close to each other and of which I've painted several portret's during the years. In this case the family is really related to each other.

But...'family' isn't always 'blood'. I guess it's more the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are and vice versa. The ones who would do anything to see you happy and who love you no matter what.

If this is the case with your relatives you can feel a happy person, but don't worry if it's not. Luckily you have the freedom to form your own 'family'. And even (or should I say certainly) animals can be a part of your tribe...

You, kind soul

are still the child who gently places fallen baby birds

back in their nests.

You, are still the soft soul

that gets your heart broken over cruel words

You, are still the gentle heart who once tried to heal a flower

by trying to stick it's petals back

when ignorant feet trampled it.

This is why you are important

This is why you will always be needed.

Kindness is the greatest endangered thing.

And there you are, existing,

with your heart so full with it.

after Nikita.Gill.

Almost all flowers are my favorites, but poppy holds a special place. Is it the fiery red that calls you from a distance and stands out in the field or on the roadside? The ever so black heart with an almost purple shine to it? It certainly is the strength with which she endures the strongest winds. She bends and bows but won't let go of her petals. 

But if you pick her, she will soon break. What her message might be is this. 

Let me shine let me show, enjoy my abundance but try not to captivate me then the joy will soon fade. 

Little wise poppy:-)

The miracle is

that the brilliance,

of the miraculous

can live

in the blandness

of the mundane.

The greater miracle

is that we

have enough brilliance,

in our

blandness,

to see it

Simply choose love today,

choose love tomorrow,

and please don't forget to love yourself,

because it's with self-love

you start authentic love.

and hey...remember...every day is a new today...

Some people say: 'A dog's eyes can tell a thousand tales', and I agree. So today I'm a bit curious, what story do you read in the eyes of Flo?

If you like to tell me what you see, even if it's just in one short word, just tell me down below in the commentsarea

Did you know things can change for the good if you take the time to really look somebody in the eye. With an open mind. No judgement?  If you experienced any of that today I would also love to hear about it...

Let's meet up with Nika for the third time. Although she is no longer in our world she is certainly not gone or forgotten. Nika has a strong connection with her lady and maybe that's why she showed herself in so many different ways. Because her lady is a woman with many different sides too. 

Today I would like to show to you her brave side. Most of the time she likes to keep life plain and simple, just enjoying the little things. But at the same time she is also ready to explore the world. Although she is easily set off by loud noises she is way to curious for new things to keep her in one place.

Let's meet with Nika again. She has a special bond with her human lady. Although she is no longer in our world she is certainly not gone or forgotten. Nika has a strong connection with her lady and maybe that's why she showed herself in so many different ways. Because her lady is a woman with many different sides too. 

Today I would like to show you her wise and tender side. If you look deeply in her eyes you can see she probably knows how to gauge your mood before you do it yourself.

Sometimes you feel the urge to look back in your life. Past memories, friends and loved ones who are no longer here. Actions or choices you might make differently now. It can be necessary to put things in perspective and learn from your past. But don't stay on memory-lane to long. Your life is happening right now, right here. And remember, always look back with love. Love for everything and everyone that came your way, even if it was not easy at the time. Thus it can bring you strength in your present moment. Enjoy your day!

Don't you simply have to smile when you see this dachshund girl with her wild hair. She has the same warm eyes as her human. In fact it was as if I saw her human appearing every now and then while painting. Warm and a bit melancholy too maybe but that's what happens if your highly sensitive. To me that's a good thing. Although this little dog-girl is no longer here her energy is still vivid enough. Let me introduce you to...

Still fond of my shiny red vintage Milano handbag. We found it on a market in Milaan filled with vintage Gucci's, Prada's, Armani's you name it. And there she was. My unbranded red lovely beauty. Just patiently waiting for me.
