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 :)

GRANDMA

This evening at the supermarket, I went to take the cart back; It was cold, and I was hungry, just couldn't wait to be home after a long day. But as I looked up, there she was: a very old lady counting her pennies, with a white coat, and her white hair, and white gloves on her hands. I don't know why suddenly I miss my grandma so much...I used to caress her hands with skin  like a soft paper almost translucent...so kind with her green eyes...She is gonenow, for some time, God rest her soul in peace!

I took this picture in spring last year; I don't know who she is...I just  asked her if it is allright to take it and she was happy to. You can read kindness in her smile.

This is for my Grandmother.

Happy New 2012

one ended, new one beggins...many resolutions, many thoughts back..what could've been better, what was better than expected

I wish I could take the 365 challenge to blog every day / make a new photo every day / create something new every day; I know there might be one day I just wouldn't do anything.

I will do my best to
* blog everyday - a photo or a few words
* create something new (might it be  editing a photo)

This year is the "Quit your day job" year
