summer

i saw this guy live a couple of weeks back with two of my best friends.
it was a warm summer night, the music bedazzling our minds, full of happiness.

now i'm listening to this track, the air is filled with the scent of freshly baked apple cake and i'm indulging in sweet memories, grateful for the magic of summer.

life sometimes

"ah the gymnastics of the mind"

she said. and: 

" i don't think it is a small problem. it is a question of worth--of a woman's worth. and is there anything larger than that? of am i worthy of love? of courage? of motherhood?--those are big, big questions."

and i was reading her words, nodding, with tears in my eyes.

via we heart it

between 7 and 8

that hour -- where the sun is still behind the mountains
the air still cool
is mine.
sitting, sipping tea,
breathing.
the day lays in front of me
like an unopened letter
like a white blank page
waiting to be written upon.
peaceful freedom
in this house, in the wind, in my heart.

heat haze

it is after ten pm now and we've still got 28° degrees. during the day the thermometer almost hit 40° and so we decided to have a little sunday adventure and spent the day at a little lake in the black forest. 
up there it was still hot but it was bearable, as we were just sleeping, reading and swimming.

oh, how i love summer - even if i'm sweating like crazy.

here some summer tunes...

God is most glorified in us
when we are most satisfied in him.

Back from Paris

Sorry for my lack of posting! 

I've just returned from Paris where I had a marvellous time. 

Even though I visited the city before, I was once again enchanted by its beauty and the Parisian lifestyle - good, strong coffee, fashion, art, music, excellent food... what could one want more? 

Yes, yes I'm still here.

First: Sorry for my absence around here.
I've been back home for three weeks now and they were packed with friends, sun and fun.
I am so blessed with such good friends, a amazing family and a beautiful home.
It's good to be here and just relax, process the last year and spend time reading and crafting.
Next week I'm on a trip to Paris and some more adventures are planned as well.
I hope I can upload some of my pictures from Scotland the coming days, so stop by to see them!
