The festivities of Christmas are usually there long after Christmas is gone, stretching to the new year and even beyond

Every time a bell rings an angel gets their wings

One never has to look far to see the campfire of gentle people.

The greatest gift to yourself is a little bit of attention

There’s something in the nature of tea that leads us into a world of quiet contemplation of life

I’ve thought a lot about happiness lately. To me, happiness is being content with what you have and not trying to grasp for more and more and more, because in the end of the day you may end up losing what you had when you started grasping for more without realizing that what you had already made you happy, that it was what you really wanted and needed all along. That it was enough, and you lost it because you grasped for more instead of realizing that what you really wanted all along was right in front of you, and you lost this really great thing you already had because you were too busy reaching for more to see it.

The best place to find peace is within yourself

Life is like a cup of tea. It’s all in how you make it.

Eye contact is a dangerous, dangerous thing. But lovely. Oh so lovely.

I hope I can be the autumn leaf, who looked at the sky and lived. And when it was time to leave, gracefully it knew life was a gift

Autumn is really wonderful to me. I love the colors and the coziness. I don’t mind the rain or colder weather, and lately I’ve spent a lot of time curled up on the balcony in a sweater with a hot cup of tea and just taken in the beautiful colors. ♥

You don’t need someone to complete you. You only need someone to accept you completely.

I saw this really adorable new mainstore release from Foxcity, and I immidiately knew that I needed to blog this. ♥ It’s a pose just after my heart – calm, sweet, and serene. ♥ But phew! The fitting was difficult, but we got there in the end, and I am really happy with how this photo turned out. ♥ Bed isn’t included in the pack, but is sold separately at the store.

Vanilla Bae has this cute set out at Equal10 – Hayley knotted top and shorts. Both are strippable as usual and come in 21 beautiful colors – pastels and bright colors. ♥ I have been running around in this a lot at home. ♥ Top and shorts are sold separately.
