A Life of Creativity
Sometimes in life you just follow your intuition. You just see something and know, you have to go there, or you have to do it. And you can´t explain why, it just feels right and important.

Spirit Animals
As you know, I believe that all our lifes are connected with one another. One great way of experiencing this is through inspiration. In general, I think there are a quite a lot of things out there, which we lost our connection with.

If so – that´s awesome! If not, let me ask you this: What makes you not happy? Is it the things – or is it you perceiving them….?

Is this art or can I eat it?
Ever seen something so delicious, far too beautiful to eat it? This happens with the art of Carmen Morales: She´s performing magic with her label „Sweet Table Rocks“.
