Inner peace

Today is a day of solitude, of turning inward. 

Recharging my battery.
Drawing a little owl.
Listening to beautiful music.
My headphones on.
Just me, my pens & paper, and the music.
My breathing slows down.
The turmoil in my head starts to fade away.
The soft whispers of my soul surface.
Tell me all is well.

Looking at the owl I realize: she is me...

Wishing you a peaceful day.

XO Maureen

Key 1 - Solitude - being alone especially when it's pleasant

Today I went to one of my favorite stores in the Netherlands, Xenos. They have all kinds of pretty things for the home, it's inexpensive, a real treat. I almost never leave without having bought something.

In the card rack I spotted this postcard. Isn't it amazing? This says 'Solitude' to me.
"Being alone, especially when it's pleasant", that's what my dictionary says.

So I wanted to share that with you. Hoping you can feel like this tree. All alone, yet in a real beautiful, peaceful place. With it's roots deep into mother nature. Surrounded by the gorgeous colors of the rainbow.

XO
Maureen

Solitude evoked beach, my weekend by the North Sea in Zandvoort (Holland) last week, water, doodles.... That went through my mind as I made the doodle. On the inside of a paper bag (I love how that works out). Which by the way is from a store called 'Speelboek'... 'Playbook' a wonderful store filled with books and gifts for young people. Where I go at least once a month. To buy something... for myself :-)

The white feather I found a few days ago. Took it with me, 'cause it is beautiful, fragile, soft.
