⎨From my diary: my Christmas 2025⎬
This Christmas season has been quite special for me, and to be honest, filled with lots of totally unexpected things.
One of which is a complete change of mind and heart regarding my creative work: what I'm going to do, and how I'm going to do it. It came to me as a flash, and I truly can't say I've been surprised. This thought and realization was like a dear old friend, that came to me in peace and silence yet hit me with the devastating power of an eathquake.
This Holiday season has shown me that I have the power to make my dreams a reality- even the crazy ones- and despite of all my previous resistance, now I've decided to say a heartfelt "YES!" to the universe once again. I may fail, I may succeed- but at least, from now on, I intend to pursue my dreams with everything I've got.
My blog is going to reflect this change of mind and heart by becoming much simpler and more personal once again. Exactly like my old-fashioned blog that I loved so much. I will share here a lot of inspiration from my life, both creatively speaking and in the area of personal growth, healing & bliss.... all the things that I deeply and passionately love.
So let me start 2026 with a post about some of my most precious memories this past Christmas (all the photos in this post have been taken quickly and spontaneously with my phone... no pressure to be perfect here!).
