when i see anything in objects, settings or movement that exudes the rare combination of strength and gracefulness, i am completely captivated. being surrounded by beautiful plants, amazing art work and unique and charming objects makes me feel good. so seeing that certain mix of a serene glow and strength with grace and beauty will always lift my mood.

have a captivating week.

as in a line from nora ephron's classic movie you've got mail - i like to start out conversations as if we are old companions and familiar friends, rather than what we actually are - complete strangers although connected by like-minded inspirational images. so, hello there and welcome to my very first post. 

just as meg ryan's character thought daisies to be her favorite flowers because they are the cheeriest flower, i do agree that daisies are a simple mood lifter and so is the golden color yellow.

have a cheery week.
