Silence

 
Life’s been like a hurrican lately, I feel like I’ve been twirling non-stop and my head is spinning. Sometimes I forget to pause, to just stop for a moment and sit still, to listen to the silence and see the small things, the details.
Yesterday was a full moon and in the days just before […]

I See Roses

 
After my last post I decided to focus on the positive things in my life, things I´m grateful for and that I´m looking forward to, the so-called roses. I will share a few of my  roses with you here:

I’m looking forward to my tarot course this weekend

Hopes and fears

 
A few days ago I received the news that one of my aunts has been diagnosed with cancer. The disease has spread widely and although tests are still being run and nothing is certain yet, the prospects are not good. It’s at times like these I really hate being abroad, not being able to spend […]

Funky office

Yesterday I attended a training at Google here in Dublin. Their offices are amazing! Like a true tourist I simply had to take pictures and let me tell you, I was not the only one… I wish my office could look even remotely like this. Have a look yourself:

Lunch treat

There are times when I just love living in the city. Like today. I went to a lunchtime recital organised by the Conservatory of Music & Drama. Forty minutes of sitting back and relax, listening to a very talented young soprano accompanied by the piano. Not my usual choice of music, but maybe even nicer […]

Back in the picture

 
I know, it has been awfully quiet on this blog during the past month. Not having had a real holiday in 2 years finally caught up with me. I had the energy nor the inspiration to do anything. I desperately needed to recharge.
Now I’m back. Fully recharged. Ready to catch up with everything I’ve neglected […]
