It's Saturday and I'm OK

I completely LOVE Saturdays, Friday you have the whole weekend stretched ahead of you, Saturday you are in the weekend, enjoying the time off from the week. Saturdays are for spending time with the boyfriend, going shopping, seeing friends and family, going to cafes or restaurants or to the movies, taking it easy or being busy with self chosen activities depending on what your heart desires....it's a time of of freedom and a time of personal choice. You can party like there's no tomorrow, or you can take it easy, take things as they come.

I am only human

I have a complete photographer crush on the work of Elif Karacoc. These photographs are sheer heaven, dreamy and ethereal. Oh I am in love! (via We Heart It)

Sometimes I feel fragile, fragmented

as if there is no moon in my sky

I don't know what it is that I so fiercely desire

only that I am trying to breathe under water, I long for clarity, but everything seems opaque and I cannot see what lies in front of me

I feel asleep, my world is an endless dream, there is no memory and no forgetting

I crave the freedom of open spaces

I want to dance under the wide open sky, and listen to the call of the birds in the dying afternoon light.

I love this vintage photo, it's one of my favourites, her beauty is so elegant and timeless.








How cute is this illustration by Katrine K? I love how the artist has included the wallpaper design in the background.


And these works by Japanese artist Ayco are so beautiful, there is a wonderful fragility about them.

And finally, this photo was me messing around earlier today.

Words fall from your mouth like stones

I had a bit of an annoying day, I worried too much for absolutely NO reason. And when I got home, we have new next door neighbours, and for the second day in a row they were making a huge noise. For hours. Non stop. I feel like the serenity of my home has been violated. This just added to my stress. If they carry on again tomorrow I'll have to go talk to them and HOPE that they are reasonable people.

I need to calm down and do something fun and silly and uncomplicated

like blowing pretty bubbles

or take comfort with my mischievious doggies, and my fat, contented cat


Maybe I should take some time out to get horizontal, and chill out

to stop thinking about what could go wrong, and trust that everything will will be all right
To let myself feel free and uninhibited


I'll look into my heart, and know that if I need to

I can be bold and poetic, dance in the dark and dance in the light

unfurl my flag, fly my colours

I will stop hiding under sand and unfold into the world
