Awakening – WPC

I think some of my followers might have noticed I hardly found time to post lately. I also received the honor of a couple nominations for blogging awards.. they made me happy and I'm very grateful for every single one. At this point I just can't respond to all of them. And I admit the …

Rise/Set WPC

Getting up every morning just before sunrise - I do enjoy those mornings where I get to take a few minutes to sit by the open door, just gazing at the sky while I'm sipping at my morning coffee. It fills me with plans, ideas and energy for the freshly started day. The last morning …

Favorite Place WPC
