Feel the feelings of life

Have you read "The secret"? Or watched the moovie? I am sure many of you have, I did both and found it (at the moment) so illuminating in some ways, found the answers to many question, and had quite a few "Aha!" moments. 

This led me to the idea that happy thoughts bring happy life, the feeling of wealth bring actually the wealth, and everything good: if it lives in your mind and heart, it will eventually be in your life, too.

So I struggled.

I struggled to feel happy despite it all.

I struggled to feel rich, despite the fact that I am not.

I struggled not to feel the anger if I had reasons to be angry.

To be positive all the time.

It was a struggle because it did not came from inside; it was something that my mind was dictating to my heart: feel this!

All until one day when I let my heart decide what it wanted to feel. I let it feel the sadness and the happiness;  feel the anger and the joy; feel discouraged and feel uplifted. 

Such a healing discovery!

Feel all the feelings of life.

They were meant to be felt.

Taking a shower?

For the past few days it has been a real hot summer, well July isn't called for nothing "oven's month" in my country - it really deserves this nick name.

To the joy of everyone it seemed that a thunderstorme was comming, I mean, there were lightings and thunders and strong wind and dark clouds....

....for about five minutes...

and a few drops of rain....just a few.

When I looked at my window I saw two doves taking showers :))

really!

They were lifting their wings, for the drops of rain to fall under, on their, most certainly, hot little bodies.

I could not stop to smile and to photograph them :) ..for the whole five minutes the rain lasted

♥

one wing..

and the other one!

her, too!

..aaand the other wing!

I hope you enjoied my little doves ♥

Hugs,

How crazy are are your dreams

My big dreams are  BIG! BIG! BIG!

(they might be too BIG, but I still believe in them)

I live there, by the sea in a small white cottage with a porch and a big swing. 

I love having  all the pillows tucked there...

It is a great place to find peace and work on my white laptop; from time to time, a seagul' s sound attracts my attention...

The smell of the sea...

The soft breeze playing in my hair...

The crazy wind in the winter and the big drops of rain...

Thunder storms and hot summer days, I love them all!

Ain't this heaven? 

Oh, yes, it is my heaven!

I live there with my family and many friends come and spend their hollidays with us.

I hear the laughter of children playing.

There is a golden retriever there living with us. She just loves running on the beach!

There might more to it, but these are the details I have now.

I feel the inner peace I would feel

I feel the gratitude, the joy and happiness

I am opening my heart and soul, still searching for  my trybe...

Why do you do it?

I was falling behind with my shop(s), I mean no sales, not so many views and hearts....you might know what I am talking about, right? 

This leads me to a sad state of mind, sort of "What's the point for it all" "Maybe I should just stick to my day job" but then again, I have the words from the book "Rich dad, Poor dad" in mind:
get out of the rat race
☻waiting on every pay check when I have already spent the one I just got 2 weeks ago is not nice.
☻hating Mondays (....Tuesdays, wednesdays......) just because I have to go to work in THAT place, is not nice! Not nice spending life as an expentance of the weekends.
I want to LOVE every single day of my life!

BUT there is ONE question that is been bugging me for some time now:

WHY?

What is the engine behind all my work? Why am I doing this? and I realised reading and watching Marie's Forleo's videos that first I need to answer to the "Why?"question
You should watch this video, too
The single most important factor of your business

 I watched it many times and I feel that I will again, until I have the answer to the  WHY? question 100% cristal clear in my mind.

I hope you have enjoyed me talkin' and talkin'
feel free to talk back ♥ I appreciate it and I hope that Marie's videos help you too!

P.S. I will be back later in the afternoon with the DAY2 :)

Snowed in

Finally some snow this winter - and I mean serious snow. They have closed the schools for 2 days, some children did have a hard  time getting to school, but I can not help it to say that these were the winters of my childhood!

 yes, I agree that maybe it was not easy but it sure was beautiful and I do have nice memories

I took these pics with my cell, so they are not the best quality, but still, they capture the moments

Children were allhappy to swim through snow
