tomorrow tomorrow

TOMORROW
*
I will return
to the island where my parents lived
and my sisters still live
with their families
*
My sister Marleen is having her birthday tomorrow.
She lives in Haamstede
on the island Schouwen Duiveland
The most beautiful beach of Holland
overthere .
*
How I miss all of that
living in the very big city of Rotterdam !
*
It's another world
so I'm looking forward
to be there
TOMORROW .

invitations

*
my birth-day is in november
years ago I wanted to change the traditional way of celebrating
*
so I invited my (girl)friends
for a special sunday-afternoon-celebration
*
made invitations
and asked for their support
to join me
I came with a theme
and asked them to share with me
and all the others
their thoughts and experiences .
*
telling about it , talking about it
listening to eachother
made it SO MUCH MORE
for all of us .
*
Now we ALL look forward
to the next
vriendinnen-verjaardag
*
Some of them only meet on my party
and some of them became friends too.
*
This weekend
the invitations must be posted
so "the girls" have time
to think about my question / the theme
What to tell ? to share ?
*
Wish I could invite you all !

Wishing you

The primary and most beautiful
of Nature's qualities is ...motion .
*
Marquis de Sade
*
The natural world teaches us the power of change.
As seasons shift , I see the purpose and beauty of life's cyclicality.
I see the promise of spring ,
the ripening of summer,
the bounty of harvest and
the mysterious containment of winter.
*
All seasons work for the good.
So it is , too , with the changing cycles of my life
*
As I surrender to the wishdom of a higher plan ,
I discouver in all circumstances the opportunity
for growth and expansion.
*
There is no season in my life
that is without worth.
*
There is no season in my life
that does not unfold my highest good.
*
Challenged by difficult times,
I consciously choose
to affirm the goodness of life's timing.
*
Today
I commit myself
to actively seeking
the benefit
hidden in adversity,
the wishdom inherent in all timing.
*
From my new book
Prayers to the Great Creator
By Julia Cameron.
*
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

long time ago

A long time ago
I quit being a teacher
to be a mother.
This teapot was a gift
from my colleagues.
*
I still cherish my beauty
and remember how
overjoyed I was
to be a mother
*
and still am
every day

To see through the eyes of small children
brings so many many miracles .....
This beauty waited from last year to be found
and show us one of the secrets of autumn .
Hope autumn has many surprises for you to be found !

Tea-time.
*
Having tea with a friend can be so inspiring.
*
The meeting of two personalities
is like the contact of
two chemical substances :
if there is any reaction ,
both are transformed.

*
It also was a lot of fun !
