Many moons had past before sleeping beauty ventured out after her isolation. She needed no prince to come save her. While in confinement she discovered the depths of her inner light and strength. Venturing out, no longer trapped she found herself falling in love with the colors and beauty of the world again. Deep in the garden she discovered the pool of tears. She added her own for the lives lost, the lives saved, and for the ones who stood fast against it all.

It is a frightening thought, that in one fraction of a moment you can fall in the kind of love that takes a lifetime to get over.

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.

“Sometimes since I’ve been in the garden I’ve looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast. Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing. Everything is made out of magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden - in all the places.” ― Frances Hodgson Burnett

Happy Valentines!
Love everyday! No special date needed
In a day like today remember love is the most powerful thing
For our beloved, our partners, family, friends, pets
Love for life and the wonderful planet that cradles it
And love Yourself because we usually neglect and forget about ourselves. This day and every day
Like #jimhenson said, #quotestoliveby
“Watch out for each other. Love everyone and forgive everyone, including yourself. Forgive your anger. Forgive your guilt. Your shame. Your sadness. Embrace and open up your love, your joy, your truth, and most especially your heart”

Sneak peek of a forthcoming Norse lullaby and this is my #jouhikko #talharpa that I find hard too tame. I love traditional songs and specially lullabies and nursery rhymes with a hint of darkness behind the. What are your favourite traditional folk songs? Is there one in your country (no matter what language) you particularly enjoy.
By the way having a hiccup on my youtube channe so if you follow me there could you make sure you are still subscribed and enabled the bed. Hope the glitch resolves but it helps if you check. Thank you

Well, she is already on her way. I still struggle with traditional small drawings after my thumb sprained last year but though I am a bit rusty felt good to do this little card for a friend.
This one is already flying as a gift to @janellkingstover for her constant encouraging comments through the years. Happy Anniversary!
I am also doing a little giveaway soon.

“Her haunting wail feels like a shiver
Her voice like a whispery moan
Cold like the cold nights in Winter
Cold, cold to the bone
This is part of a wintry music poem I wrote recently and this is one of the first images filmed some days ago. We have lots of snow in the forecast and it is indeed chilly so this weekend I am going to stay indoors editing videos that will be up on my channel very soon.
In other countries “The Snow Maiden” ( Japanese Yuki-Onna could transform into white mist) and The Snow Queen by Danish author Christian Andersen, or the Witch in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” portray a cold hearted dangerous beauty and harsh as the season itself.

Congratulations to China’s power couple Angelababy and Huang Xiaoming who recently got married. The couple have been dating since 2009 after meeting each other for the first time at a Karaoke party. Angelababy dreamed since childhood of getting married in a castle. Her dream finally became reality taking form into this absolutely beautiful fairytale wedding held at Shanghai Exhibition Center. Also she truly looks like a real princess in her crown and elegant wedding dress. We wish them a lifetime of happiness together!
