The Scent of Roses
The Scent of Roses When my parents got married almost 24 years ago my mom had a beautiful bridal bouquet. The roses were vivid in colour, red, pink, yellow. The colours were strong, not the faint pastel tones one is used to for weddings. My mother was not wearing white either, she wore a black … Continue reading The Scent of Roses

Discovering a Drawing #WeeklySmile
Discovering a Drawing A few evenings ago I turned the page in my Moleskine and came across this little drawing: My Moleskin had been overtaken by my daughter.

A List Of Smiles #WeeklySmile
I am a natural smiler. That means I smile all the time. When I was a teen living in the US, about to move to France, I was advised not to smile in public in Paris, that this would be dangerous for me. Well, it might be dangerous if you cast sexy smiles at strange men, but … Continue reading A List Of Smiles #WeeklySmile
