Today I found myself in a situation where I needed to dig deep to find a fighter, a real warrior within. But after several sleepless nights before and after, I've made my peace with the fact that some things are worth defending. No matter what. So to myself, and anybody else there in this universe spending this night wide awake, I'd like to say If it's right you'll feel it in your gut. And then. You owe it to yourself not to give up. ~*♥*~

When absolutely everything has gone haywire. When you find yourself tangled up & tumbling down. This photo was taken when I was most lost and alone. And my friend Hanna-Maria, in the picture, and her husband Albert, made all the difference. 
A moment and a day; kindness, true friendship, tears and laughter. I shall always remember.
To Allu and Hanski. True friendship is so rare, yet with you two, it remains, I am sure, always. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being you, and for having been there during those moments when I most needed you.
This day was one when I'd lost all my strength yet you didn't move one step away from my side.
You made it a happy day.
We got lost on our way to St. Juan les Pins, and accidentally ended up in Antibes, asking from a tourism office 'Where are we actually?'

Sometimes you get lost and found all at the same time.

~*~ I simply love these LadyBohemia portraits, by Minna Kulmala Photography. The freespirited and wonderfully talented Minna invited me to her grandparents' home, an old manor house in the Finnish countryside, for this photoshoot. She also had the idea of taking some of the photos by her grandfather's antique piano.  Not to mention the brilliant shots she took of my bejewelled shoes, playing the piano... Which I shall share with you a little bit later :). Minna had also cooked a lovely lunch for us. Bought fresh strawberries. I don't remember the last time I would have felt so spoiled. I must have smiled for days (and nights!) after that experience... Ever since I launched my little blog I've had the opportunity to meet such wonderful, interesting, amazingly creative people, that I'd never have come across otherwise. It's like a little bit of their enthusiasm, energy and inspiration is rubbing of on me, too, and I leave every encounter a little bit richer. Thank you all you wonderful artists, musicians, photographers, designers, writers, thinkers, dreamers. Thank you all my lovely followers, your zest and dedication warms my heart. Like say Calvin and Hobbes: "It's a wide world. Let's go explore it!" ~*♥*~
