You can dance anywhere, even if only in your heart. Today I have worked very hard on something that is both very important and extremely scary to me. A chance I owe myself to take. Although I still don't know where I'll find the courage to it. I wanted to share this lovely wild picture by Unjung Jun with you - today it has helped me relate with a phrase so real: No guts, no glory. ~*♥*~

I'm not the most organized of people. So I found this collage from the net, for inspiration... This is how I dream my to-do list to look like (especially on the eve of a winter vacation): But, being me, it's slightly more scattered, messy, over-the-top overlapping hurdle... Like so. Clearly it's time for an Engel moment. A peaceful quality moment with me, myself and I, and a hot cup of Engel's lovely house tea.. Followed by a blizzardy walk for long, long sweaty session of hot yoga. My secret weapons that always work for clearing an unruly mind. ~*♥ *~

All is well, just remember that, especially when it's not. Life has a way of taking care of itself. - Viktor Egelund - So comforting. Even true, I think.

One of my favorite quotes is from a poem by Märta Tikkanen: "Tämä ei kohtaa meitä rakkauden puutteen vaan rakkauden epätoivon tähden" Märta Tikkanen, Vuosisadan rakkaustarina I haven't found an English translation of the book so I apologize in advance for the injustice my shabby translation does to these words, so dear to me... "this doesn't fall upon us for the sparseness of love but for the despair of it" The book is a real-life tale on all-engulfing passion, love, and despair so deep that at the end it overtakes... everything. Not a happy love story, but so real you can taste it. Märta says of husband Henrik, after his death: "I miss him, often. But not even for a moment have I wanted him back." The quote above I can relate to. This latter one, no. I guess I have to live a little more to reach those depths... But to tell you a secret... I hope I never will. ~*♥*~

There are days when a woman needs something soft between herself and the world. [caption id="attachment_7663" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Photos collected by Unjung Jun"][/caption] Warmest thanks to Divine Duchess Hannele, for grasping my mood way before I did...♥. ~*♥*~
