There once was a little princess who first was not accepted by her father because he rather had a son. I am not going to tell you the whole story but the princess runs off disguised as a beggar in a catskin coat. She wants to attend the ball to dance and of course the prince of the ball falls in love with her. Her father feels guilty that he once rejected her and is incredibly pleased that he now finds her happy and well so end good all is good.

Sometimes life is like a Fairytale. In which a tough girl who always had to take care of herself suddenly finds someone who appreciates her for who she is. So now she can finally admit to her softer side too:-)

Put On Your Cat(s)kin And Dance

And what nice coincidence in nature the willow catkin stands for love and protection.:-)

So that's why it became a series of three

Once I spoke the language of the flowers

Once I understood each word the caterpillar said

Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings

And shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed.

Once I heard and answered all the questions of the crickets

And joined the crying of each falling dying flake of snow

Once I spoke the language of the flowers

How did it go?

How did it go?

Smell the soil, get out there and ask the birds

Still your mind just for a while, open up your loving heart

Gently let nature's stories give you a spark

And overflow your thirsty soul.

(free after Shel Silverstein)

Have a magical week!

With Love Lies

I'm sure one day,
we all find the place,
where our dreams
and reality collide.

This yellow butterfly is calling to you if you are in need for some joy and lightness. If it's important to you to feel your 'self' stronger. If you want to attract some self-love so to say.

Yes you love your children and your partner and your friends. But now is the time to love You!
This butterfly helps you to make self-love feel as a light-effort-thing to do.
You feel the connection with your higher self every time you look at the almost golden wings of this 'Phoebis Argante Argante'
It tells you: "No need to become 'perfect' because you already are perfect just the way you are now."

You have to think twice before you invite her to your garden, this witch hazel from Japan. She needs space and you better not trim her down. 
She gives you the best of her beauty if you just let her be. Magically she blossoms in winter even without needing leaves. Nobody knows why. 
But these funny yellow flowers arrive at a moment when we really appreciate color.

I'm a big fan of trivial beauty, 

with that i mean the beauty of things that are normally not seen as items of desire, or are not even worth a second glance for that matter. 

A grey day and then this sunny yellow with a small dot of blue coming from the handle of the cleaning mop makes me smile and hé i didn't even mention the fact that the hallway of my studio was cleaned without me moving a muscle. Thank you friendly cleaner.
