    Read rituals

    Besides traveling, photograph, write, Collecting shoes and daydreaming was reading one of my favorite things. I read not just one book. Nee, I have my regular reading rituals, and which ones you read more here. My passion for reading I have to thank my Spanish teacher in high school. She was so excited about books that it was impossible not to get infected with the virus reading. I'd give everyone his teacher, because as the famous quote says: “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” Dr. Seuss.

    Looking back on 2015

    When a year-end approaches, we look back at the events that have taken place, We just put too often focus on the bad things that have happened to us.

When we think positive and look at the good stuff feels like bragging, naturalness, irrelevant, or like something you'd rather put in a drawer and can open only if you have adversity, because then these moments offer you a bright spot in the darkness.…
