Today, on one of my favourite blogs "The Simply Luxurious Life" I came accross the following quotation:
"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”
-Elizabeth Kubler Ross-
Have a happy Monday.

Yesterday the show at the Mon Art Gallery in Riffort, Curaçao was impressive. It brought together a creative ambience which combined the different styles and creations form the designers, all in some way either inspired by or connected to Curaçao.
Make sure to visit the gallery.

inspiration
“To dream anything that you want to dream. That's the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed.”

Today marks the beginning of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of Spring in the Southern Hermisphere. Where ever it is in the world that you live, enjoy the change of the season (or in my case, the continuation of the beautiful year round Caribbean Summer).

Seasons flower and fade"

Colours in my garden
Today is Sunday, a day for relaxing at the beach, enjoying a good BBQ and thinking of nothing else but the amount of sun-block I should be using. Unfortunately this Sunday I am not on the boat, rather I stayed home, rearranged my house a bit, did some gardening and studied (ok, later on I will enjoy a glass of white wine on my terrace while the sun sets in the distance while listening to Brazilution 5.5 on the juke-box).
" Gardening is how I relax. It is another for of creating and playing with colours"
