So simple, so true, and yet so easy to forget. I owe this little reminder to myself today.
Maybe you do too?

Today it was Mucha who brought a moment of quiet calm to my otherwise hectic day. His ladies are so lovely, don't you think?
I had the most beautiful image of spring by Mucha on the wall of my student flat... This blonde girl, draped in Grecian clothing, holding flowers with hair loosely lifted up... I sold the poster at a fleemarket and have consequently missed her presence for years.
This was a painting that truly brought the feeling of spring, that sense of a new beginning, the scent of fresh grass, the light green of the woods at springtime, to a little humble flat in Hel. Even midwinter.
And I was silly enough to sell it, to manage that tight budget a little bit better.
Note to self: Never, ever, sell anything for money.
Whatever you love is priceless.

Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.

- Impossible! said Doubt
- Dangerous! cried Fear
- Vain! And useless! stated Reason
- Just try, whispered Heart.
these words, sent to me by a friend on a particularly dark and lonely moment, rang in my head as I headed to the first ever radio interview of my life. Nervous I was, full of self-doubt, trying to fight the panic that was rising from the bottom of my belly.
Soon my life would need to fill a full hour of air space! OiJoi.
But I did it! And I can't begin to tell you how good it feels to overcome your own fears, inhibitions, self-imposed limitations.
I did it. And next time, I'll stretch my boundaries even further.
Promise.
