you've got mail here in Holland

It was another day of adventure here in the land of windmills, Tulips & cheese. And to my wonderful surprise after coming home with godfather from The Hauge center at one of the art academy, good Dutch lunch at a historical cafe building, museum of art collections and to end that for the day awaits for me...

A letter..which took me a big surprise. It is from such a great Dutch artist Madam Letty Muntijewerf. A friend of my godfather whom we visited last week at her home and was able to see all his amazing works.

She was a strong yet full of grace & simply elegance as a woman artist. I was totally honored meeting here and see all her masterpieces. It was a totally great experience i surely will always be grateful for in my adventure here in Holland. :)

P.S. I love you

that was on my wish list

 I have always loved his works and amazed at his life story.

One of my wish list in life is one day see my ever admired Dutch Impressionist artist works

and today was a dream come true to me.. I was there marvelling at his works! :)

u just have to swim with grace

a gift from one of my boys in the team.

It's been a long time since we get back into adding a new family member @ home like this.

My late Papa loves fishes, way back then we used to have a small aquarium filled

with small lovely fishes. 

I always remember Pap telling me then.."look at those fishes as they swim.

They will remind you that you are free in the big ocean we called life 

& you have to swim with gracefulness as whatever the current brings you to"...

love you Pap.. :)

P.S. I love you

touch by earth angels

So grateful for the gift of friendship

Two separate dates with my two best friends. 

Glad i have had the chance to spent time with them for this lovely Saturday weekend. 

That am too blessed and grateful.

as i would always do

I'd like to call it a week of my nuttiness,  learning's, a celebration of sunshine happiness for life's precious little moments and an appreciation of family and a special friendship.

That and all am grateful for... :)

 P.S. I love you
