A photo is the prompt for Colleen’s poetry challenge this week.

The dawn flicks to life Enchanted and radiant A divine delight She waits in expectation The night belongs to the past

“Love yourself instead of abusing yourself.”
Karolina Kurkova
I found this quote today, isn’t it fabulous?
Happy Valentine’s Day! Take care of yourself and if possible have a self-gift! I stopped at the Licor store when coming back home and got myself a luscious red wine for tomorrow.

Sharing with Nurturing Thursday.
This weekend was busy in the online world for me. Saturday I co-hosted an art party on Instagram and Sunday I joined a blogging party organized by Bella from Thoughtsnlife blog! It was lovely! I met some wonderful bloggers and caught up with some old friends.
My friend Yvonne @yvonne.creates from Instagram invited me to co-host the #febgluebookparty2020 with her. We chose the theme Valentine’s Day, I know it isn’t the day yet, but it’s not too late to spread love, so we decided to do it all about self-love and -care. Below you will find the prompts and my pages.

For this prompt, I chose images that pamper me up, like gorgeous shoes, flowers and healthy food.

Red lipstick, so glamorous, but I don’t own one! I think it’s too much and doesn’t match my lifestyle, but of course, I can still admire it. And flowers, always the red ones call my attention.

For the 3rd prompt I chose Rumi’s quote: “Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love”. Isn’t this quote wonderful?
I chose flowers to represent nature, one of my greatest sources of inspiration and quiet moments at home, represented here by the cup of tea and a kitchen table.
We had so many lovely ladies joying the party, including my blogger friend, Rupali. I’m so happy she decided to give a try and shared some awesome pages.
All the parties have a giveaway, so I put together a journaling set for it.

One of the new ladies at the party was the lucky one, I’ll mail it to her this week.
Hope you had a great weekend and wish you a lovely week ahead!
