About plans and hearts
As most woman on this planet, I plan my days. Often full with tasks and activity. Work and jobs to do, home-tasks, time for nurturing creativity, time to see doctors and to do shopping. Time for family. For friends. Alone-time?! Time to keep track of the plan of all...

Welcome maturity

Doors in a pocket
I recently had trouble finding a lower gear, so I decided to give myself "Pocket-Time". I dove into a pocket of relaxation and no pressure. With a bath and enough sleep. With time for pilates and reading. And for a looong breakfast with my journal and latte on the...
