I believe in fairies too

“I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?”

― John Lennon

Purple Dream

A man who looks first to a woman’s outer beauty will never know her beauty divine, for there is dust upon his eyes and he is blind. But a man who sees in a woman the spirit of the Great One and sees her beauty first in spirit and truth, that man will know “Divinity” in that woman.

-White Buffalo Calf Woman

The strength and braveness a woman holds is a source of sacredness. When a woman suffers, all women suffer too because we are the same flowers in a field, the givers of life, the beauty conceived by Mother Moon. Some things only a woman can understand. I remember when I gave birth to my daughter, mom said:"Now, Mother Nature has no mysteries for you." She is right.

Strength

I guess the little girl among the flowers reflects very well my life right now. I am contemplating what lies ahead with a heavy heart. I only hope I can be strong to face the future.

“Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up” 
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

I can't say there's no worry at all but at least there's faith and that makes me strong.

The key to her heart

“With a changing key, 
you unlock the house where
the snow of what’s silenced drifts.
Just like the blood that bursts from
Your eye or mouth or ear,
so your key changes.

Changing your key changes the word
That may drift with flakes.
Just like the wind that rebuffs you,
Clenched round your word is the snow.” 
― Paul Celan

Love is here / O amor está aqui

I love my family, friends and furry friends.I love flowers and butterflies. I love (digital) art, journaling, collage, card making and scrapbooking. I love Literature and Poetry. I love teaching, nature, Mother Moon. I love everything that makes me a better person.

We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.

T stands for eyes

 Hello My T Friends!

I am sorry I didn't have time to post anything earlier but it's never too late to be creative. Here we are still facing Zika virus and trying to find a solution. Now the militaries are visiting our homes, however, I think this epidemic is far from a positive outcome. Injections are being tested but nothing is garanteed.

I want to show you two collages I made some time ago.I don't know why but most of my art depicts women with closed eyes.I found a quote that might explain that mystery.

 “If my eyes have pain, I close them; If my body aches, I rest it; If my heart breaks, I mend it; If my soul is lost, I pray for it” 

― Jeremy Aldana

Maybe they are closed because mine are full of pain right now.

Faith

Hello My Lovelies!

This year's been quite tough in so many ways. But I've learnt that faith is like air. It has kept me breathing and strong. My faith is unshakeable. I know life is a hard mission and we all have our crosses to carry.So if you are being tested, don't lose your faith: there's always light in the end of the tunnel.

“Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.” 
― J.R.R. Tolkien

T stands for fun

Hello My T.Friends!

It's Carnival here:

And

we are having fun, pretending there's no epidemic here caused by Zica virus. Yes, my friends, AN EPIDEMIC. If you are pregnant and planned to visit Brazil, you'd better stay at home. You can read more here.

Nobody in my family has been infected up to know. Maybe we are lucky. We are having fun too.

My sister and niece. My sister is eleven years younger than me.

My niece is like a daughter. 

Do you remember the small scrapbook album? It's for her .

 My daughter and her boyfriend.

My kids. I see them as my girls.

 It's been very stuffy and hot so no coffee for me.Thanks. Only water, please.

 You might be wondering why I am not having fun.Well I like to relax during Carnival and is there anything more relaxing and therapeutic than journaling?

Hope you have a magical week!

Last Tuesday I didn't share anything because I started work and I was worn out. I need some time to readapt again but I hope not miss any Tuesday from now on.

Hugs, 

Karla
