All the best of this year

Here we are
to another season of gathering thoughts and gratefulness
for all the wonderful experience Life has gifted us this year!
I will share with you my best ones here in this post,
starting from:

BEST BOOKS!
You can heal your life , by Louise Hay, 
a wonderful and practical self help book about self love and its miracles
Big Magic, a must read about creativity, I talk about it here.

BEST VISITED PLACE:
Cornwall! If you can, stay there for a week or so, the energy of this place 
is a real healing powerful gift from Mother Nature! IT is full of nature, history, beauty,
art and magical hidden villages!

BEST ADVENTURE!
Kayaking on Fowey river~ I don't have pictures of this, 
but it' s a series of creeks near St Austell,
and the river it is surrounded by oak woods and footpaths, we ended up in a tiny village called Lerryn, where you feel like in a different time zone.
It was magical to observe the life from a different perspective, from a different pace, surrounded by emerald water reflections and golden sun light,
andwatch the fish playing jumping out from the water, as greeting us .
I had never kayaked before, thumbs up for trying new things!

BEST ART SUPPLY DISCOVERY
transparent gel to apply over dry paint, that allows other layers to be put on top, 
as it renders the surface really matt and capable to absorb more paint .
I found it best to use over dried acrylic gouache and after that, I can use easily coloured pencils!
Fantastic!

BEST FOOD DISCOVERY
Roasted swede and... jalapeno peppers!

BEST MOVIE
American documentary about the life and innovative work
of Fred Rogers, who invented a kids TV show and shared with children
 all of the humans experience and feelings. Eye opening!

BEST INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT
Can't get enough of Rebecca Green
a colour master!

BEST QUOTE
Happiness is foremost a state of consciousness that 
depends on our good understanding of things 
(Omraam Michael Aivanoov)

Here some of my BEST , hope you also have a long list of yours!
This year has been really intense and full of discoveries and personal growth.
I learnt deeply to care about myself and to not fight fear,
but taking it along and do things anyway.
More wonderful things will come in the New Year, I am sure!

AND to finish off, a nice collage of MY BEST 9 images of this Year!


All the best of everything for the New Year!
