Welcome to my Blog!

Hello. This is my first blog post.
Thank you for stopping by.

I truly believe that we are born to create. Creativity fills my heart with happiness. A happiness I want to share.

Our lives are fragile, they can be messy, good things and bad things can happen, things can take a turn for the worse, but there is still so much beauty, as Anne Frank wrote.

I look out and search for this beauty that is still around me every day, beautiful landscapes, awesome animals, interesting faces, captivating people, and stories playing out in front of my eyes.
I decided to share this beauty with you, valued reader. I hope you enjoy my posts and get a glimpse of the beauty that is still around us!
