november’s

                     

a unfortunate fortune cookie seemed to warn me then of the tax mess i am in now. what did i learn from that? always trust your fortune cookie!

despite the taxes and other bureaucratic issues that weigh a little bit heavy on my shoulders, this november has been a sweet month. autumn just flashed before my eyes and here we go, winter is waiting. i feel quite ready for it. ready but not yet equipped!

this evening i am cold, hungry and tired. fascinating to notice how when those basic needs are not taken care of, i can not make sense out of anything. so before i get too carried away in this senseless cloud which is surrounding me, i would like to wish you a focused and restful december. remember that it is ok to sleep and eat more than usual… and if you have november stories to share, i am all ears and eyes. ♥

more about obsessions

i can not get enough of my camera and the guy who took this picture can not get enough of his iphone. have a lovely weekend!

p.s do you have any suggestions of what great movies i could see while hiding under the blanket and eating leftover swizz chocolate?!

i fell for autumn. hopefully this crush will grow into a deep love for winter. the sound and the smell of dead leaves reminds me of childhood. and i feel somewhat like a bear ready to hibernate.

look at those

 

…sweethearts. we went hiking up the swizz mountains. i am lucky to have funny and adorable colleagues. it helps when you spend 24/7 with each other. how is your tuesday?

george nelson says it the best

            

hello there! sending you greetings from the swizz mountains. i have seen plenty of cows by now. we spent a few hours getting inspired and playing around at vitra. which technically means i also had a little stop over in germany. apart from that, we are performing, walking, talking, laughing, eating, breathing. the air is so good here. have a nice day! *what day is it?

before leaving

      

plucking and harvesting. and chasing cows. now i am in switzerland again. not a cow in sight. i am drinking glühwein instead.

what is number one in your life? someone told me to tell everyone i love that i love them today. so, i do. i love you. whoever feels like soaking those words up, go for it!

twigs and inspiration

   

perhaps it is the full moon which made me this high, i am not sure. i find this inspiring today:

‘I believe in psychedelicism. Not just psychedelic music, but everything. A psychedelic experience is characterized as the unveiling of perceptions previously unknown -- the brain unfettered from its usual constraints. To me, it's all there is, and certainly all that's worth doing. I find no worth in that which doesn't surprise. Anomalies, irregularities, deviation from the common rule -- that is all I will ever care for’. - richie jackson

in my case, the heart will win

for the coming days, i will be crossing my fingers and praying to the higher *tax* forces!

i wish i could explain to you the cultural and mental differences between here and there. to show you how big of a challenge it is for a polite, careful and conflict-avoiding swede to survive the game. a warm smile might bring you far, but sometimes not far enough…

(on the way to my accountant today i saw this graffiti and was convinced it was a good sign!)
