What a surprise

What a wonderful surprise.

My amazing friend François from Sketches in Stillness

sent me a hand drawn card.

Francois remembered I love lady bug so much.

I love it! ❤️❤️❤️

My last post picture 52 is from my favourite calendar from Francois’

Sketches in Stillness in December.

Of course I have the 2023 calendar hanging up already.

Francois certainly gave me my big smile today.

Thank You François! ❤️

If you see someone without
A smile
Give them yours. 

Picture of the Week #52

The last picture of the week this year.

Hope you enjoyed the series

and it kept you inspired.

My last picture is from my favourite calendar from

Sketches in Stillness in December.

Food for thought

Bring love whereever you go.
Shine light wherever it's dark.
Be kind wherever you are.
Leave blessings wherever you've been.

Sending you warm hugs and happy thoughts your way !

Be patient

Even if things don’t go right,

be patient,

take nature’s example.

This is a Maracuja plant I had in the garden and after Winter it looked dead.

I left it and look what is coming. Everything is late this year as it has been and is still rather cold.

Patience is all and I am grateful and happy.

Happy is good for your Health

In these challenging times

it is so important to still be happy.

As Voltaire describes and Francois illustrates it:

 

Happiness is good for your health

now even more!

 

Stay happy and healthy!

More Updates

“We’re unable to go out, so many of us go in.

Sleep, recharge, pray, meditate, journal.

Reflect on what’s important and what makes us truly happy.

To many, it’s a transition from survival to living.

During times of pain, we are invited to learn new ways of being—to do less and be more.

To reconnect with our true human nature.”

~Sara Fabian

Sketches in Stillness brought its’ first book out. 

” Praised for their originality, charm and simple depiction of powerful truths, the little sketches compiled in this book have brought inspiration, comfort and clarity to countless people around the globe.

In this very first volume the author/illustrator Francois Lange, invites you to enjoy the art of living in the present moment through his widely popular little cartoons ( the Yogi Petz) “

I had featured some drawings of Francois Lange in a post before here.

When I saw his first book, I had to have it, the drawings are so sweet and his wisdom is incredible.

The book arrived in happy drawn paper…
