This week, show us the effect of time and the elements.
As a child I loved Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytales. About a year ago I found a collection with his most famous fairytales from the beginning of the 1900’s. It was $5 in a local thrift store. I felt like if I had won the lottery. There’s something beautiful with a book like this. It speaks to me. On the inside I found this note, dating back to Easter 1928. Someone got this book as a gift 90 years ago! That person is almost certainly dead by now, but the weathered book is still treasured.

Love,
Ms Zen

It’s all about experiences, and the healing power of nature. Life is about choosing happiness. I entered the magic world of photography when I was five years old. My gypsy soul have taken me to many different countries, and definitely taught me to be more humble. I believe that you are what you eat, body and soul. I enjoy growing my own food, and spending time outdoors. Above everything else is my daughter.
A Sagittarius loves to travel, have an open mind and, and a philosophical view. It motivates them to wander around the world in search of the meaning of life. Sagittarius is extrovert, optimistic and enthusiastic, and likes changes. A lot of that perfectly describes me. The fact that my ancestors, on both parents sides, were vikings, doesn’t exactly lessen my desire to explore. Maybe a slightly more mindful exploring, compared to the average viking. My blog, and my art prints is a results of my (inner and outer) explorations.
Love,
Maria
