rekindled spirit

her golden spirit has gently made us understand

that even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness that the word “happiness” would lose it’s meaning if it were not balanced by sadness

and bestowed a precious gift - gift of knowledge that love grows , it grows to expand your soul, love grows

created especially for the sun- our sweet daughter- visit the rest of the polar festival attendees here or here- have fun!

i’ll be back in spring

i will be away with access to email- goodbye for the winter.

 work of the sun                                              and the moon

here are some staying warm inside fireside creations- i present the first of the winter 2007-2008 masterpieces by the sun and the moon.

and……… 

better late, than never- i was tagged by somepinkflowers a couple several weeks ago and never got around to it- but i did not forget! here are my answers

four jobs i have had

i waited tables- which was a lotof fun- not to mention the biggest lesson: how to treat your waiter/ess. everyone should wait tables at least once in their life!

i then was a kindergarten teacher’s assistant until

i landed a research analyst position at an executive search firm where i conducted corporate research and did the foot work for recruiters

which propelled me into a technical recruiting career throughout the nineties until we started our family

today i employ myself- i provide new business development and marketing communication services in english. i incorporated myself last october and started the new year with 3 clients- not bad for a one woman show!

four places i have lived

dallas, tx

athens, greece

jeddah, saudi arabia

asmara, eritrea

four favorite foods

pico de gallo. that’s all i can think of right now- probably because it’s hard to get your hands on fresh cilantro in the winter here.

four places i have been on holiday

montafon, austria

south tyrol, italy

guadelupe mountains national park, tx

ocho rios, jamaica

four places i would rather be

nowhere. there is absolutely nowhere that i would rather be!

i am tagging traute, over at spirit’s soap art and amy at petticoatlane

the highlight of my week: receiving mail art from somepinkflowers!!!

i did not expect this at all so it made the recieving even sweeter. thank you from the bottom of my heart somepinkflowers, you made me and my heart smile so very big!!!

if you have not yet discovered this witty, funny, unbelievably entertaining, fantastic 21st century writer and photographer called somepinkflowers, please go here and treat yourself. be amused, get some pleasure, learn something new,  or better yet form new opinions of your own.  you will for sure smile (i often laugh out loud), sometimes maybe cry or even both! you will love it ! you will love her!

there is a mini rose vine/bush in my gift garden that i inherited from the lady of the house before me.  aside from the marigolds, it is the only thing still alive and kicking out there in the cold and sometimes freezing weather. i was happy to see it doing well as i thought it was fitting to use it to show you her wonderful photography and my mail art.  fitting because it was never really my favorite until it started to remind me of somepinkflowers everytime i walked by it.  really does! i say to myself, there are my somepinkflowers!

angel card: 

the lightning and thunder, 

they go and they come;

but the stars and the mystery

are always at home.
