Change. What a beautiful word. It is a verb and a noun at once. It is full of motion. Full of action. Full of tension. Full of potential.
Change is powerful. Scary. Forward looking. Motivating. Change. You are not used to it. Change. You get used to it.

Happiness. Something so many of us want so badly. We could give anything to be happy. We crave for happiness. Just like for a nice hot chocolate...
Happiness. But what is happiness? How do we experience happiness? What do we feel when we are happy? What makes us feel happy? When was the last time we were happy? Truly? Deeply? These are just some of the questions I have been thinking of recently... and what a mere coincidence, just in the run up to the International Day of Happiness... The storm is coming... Pure, devastating, wild. And wet. No escape...
The dark revealed. Inside. Outside. Torn apart, washed away... The water flows. Connects the sky with the earth. Waves form. Mist. Mystery. Motion...

So happy if you share ;) Today I got inspired by haircuts. It was just one of those girly moments, like: "OK, I seriously need a haircut!" Thanks God hairbands exist. I bet every woman can relate. I bet every new Mom can relate even more. When you wake up in the morning, and just nothing seems so right. Then comes the hairband and solves all your problems. Well almost, temporarily. Hmm, the colour is so no colour. Hmm, those curls just don't curl the right way. Hmmm, I don't want those curls cos they look so bad once I comb them. But if I don't comb, it looks like I seriously need to wash my hair. Seriously? But I have no time right now... And then comes your best friend, the hairband, and gives you a "hair lift" : For many many years I had this drive in me. Or let's just call it a compulsion to conform. I always wanted to be someone. Not just anyone. Someone. When I got to be that someone, there was another someone to be again. I thought it is important to want to be someone. I always thought I had to be someone. I always thought I am someone.
To prove myself and the world that I can do it. To feel important and to feel better. Better than others. Better than myself? To get acknowledged for all my efforts. To get reassured that I am doing the right thing. To be happy?! "Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you." - Maori proverb ***Got inspired? So happy if you share ;)
Confidence. Self-confidence. A very sensitive, challenging, and incredibly interesting topic of self discovery…
What makes someone confident? Look, act, but first and foremost, truly FEEL confident. Deep inside. Solid, as a rock. Beautiful and unique as each and every seashell on the shore. What makes you believe in yourself? Believe that you are worth it? That you are good enough? That you are doing it right? Despite comments, despite pressure, despite “good practices”, despite trying to do everything at your best, sometimes consuming every single bit of your energy and at the end not even finding the so-wanted, liberating. Relief. Acknowledgment. Appraisal. Merit. Love. You name it. "Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” – Andre Gide ***Got inspired?
