Hello Anita!
ReplyDeleteAs always ... Beautiful and inspiring.
Yes... Our purpose is so important and yet so simple.
I think of the two great commandments.
Love God with all our heart, mind, and soul...
And to love our neighbor as ourselves.
All else falls into place ❤
Wishing you sweet fulfilling days.
God bess you always,
Maria
Lovely Anita, the music the words the images!! I am still asking that question and only know that God put us here to do as much as we can for our fellow mankind, especially family and friends!

Dearest Anita - this post rflect my thoughts - balance yes, so precious and yet not easy to attain ... Am currently trying to work my way into painting again and it needs time and energy, plus many other things of course are there ...And we also need some time to just dream sometmes ... Hope you got back home safely and have a wonderful sunday to enjoy today! It's nice and sunny here, will make btreakfast now ... Bisou!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe my eyes when I saw there was a post by you. You are taking a break. And, as usual, it is such a lovely post with beautiful music and wonderful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI am asking myself that exact question lately. What am I going to do? And tonight, instead of any creations, I chose to simply read a book. And tomorrow, I can do anything I want with my life. And the next day too!
Thank you.

What a post sweetie....!!!...right into my heart........from yours....love you Ria...x !
ReplyDeleteIt may sound selfish but I have only this one and precious life so I plan to please myself. I believe we all owe that to ourselves. We are given a life, precious to each individual, don't waste it on trying to please others, be the best you can, be true to yourself and those around you who truly care will be happy to be in your presence. There is so much negativity which surrounds us all, that takes so much effort. It is so much easier to be positive and see the pleasing aspects of life. I'm am creating a happy bubble about myself in the here and now and I'm staying inside it. Outside influences will try their hardest to pop it but I will deal with that when it comes.
ReplyDeleteAnita, thank you for making me think about this. You are one of those valuable positives I want about me. Never negative, always inspiring and encouraging. Thank you my distant friend. Your love permeates my space!
Much Love
Di

Ah, the plans of life. I thought I had plans, but God had a different one for me. Now I just get up every day and give the day to the Lord. He is always filled with surprises.
ReplyDeleteKaren
Oh Anita, so thought provoking! I have thought about this so much in 2013. I think I am slowly realizing I just have to do. Do what comes natural. Do what feels right. Do what I can afford. Do what my family can tolerate. Do what makes me happy. I don't want to turn 80 and have regrets. That is my greatest fear! Instead, I want to do it all....much like you do! Once you figure it out, please let me know how to successfully accomplish this....it is a daily struggle!
ReplyDelete"wild and precious"...love it! what shall we do?

So beautiful..the pictures so powerful along with your words of wisdom. A gentle and beautiful remind of how precious life is and you really do need to seize the day, I preach this all the time to my kids an am starting to practice what I preach :)
ReplyDeleteI realize that every day is a gift, every day of health and family and friendship....priceless. I have a long list of things to do and am slowly starting to check them off!
Oh Anita,
ReplyDeleteBravissimo! I love that extract which I first saw on Amanda Soule's blog (Soulemama)! You always achieve the perfect balance between sophistication, reflection, blissful beauty, and JOY!
Thank you for craftin this beautiful post for us all.

Your post really came at the right time! Such a beautiful way of expressing what so many of us are going through, so thank you for inspiring me to take a good look at where I am in my life right now!
ReplyDeleteMarcia
Anita, Beautifully said. I especially love the reversing of the adage "missing the forest for the trees". As I have grown older my goal is to grasp the moment instead of filling the hour. Have a wonderful Sunday! Bonnie
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Anita!!
ReplyDeleteWell.. this is lovely:) and wonderful thoughts to ponder. We need to remember to think about balance EVERY day, in all that we do. Life is so precious and regardless of what we have or have not, daily reassessment is necessary for personal growth and to enhance our lives.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend Anita! xxleslie
I know one thing you do for certain is inspire hundreds of us with your amazing creative posts. This one is filled with gorgeous images and thought provoking words. Merci!
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying a special French treat on this Bastille Day ~ Sarah
Bonjour Anita !

C'est toujours un délicieux plaisir de passer sur ton blog

beautiful as always! I will have to think on this question again...and if I come up with the same answer, then I am on the right path, if a different one, then I got a good muse to make me question! hugs!
ReplyDeleteChère Anita, j'ai toujours beaucoup de plaisirs a me promener sur votre blog !
ReplyDeleteAmicalement !
Hello my dear,
ReplyDeleteI have been away from my computer all weekend, and I was surprised to see you posted again! It is all a balancing act, isn't it, to try to fit everything into our lives? And sometimes it's hard to do it all. This is what Nel is trying to figure out right now, and she finds it harder and harder each day. So, I tell her that she can't make everyone happy, and just do the best she can. We must be good to ourselves. I love the little birdie balancing on the ball hehehe. And the "WILD AND PRECIOUS LIFE" quote is a great one. I'm so glad that you had a nice visit with your family, and I do wish that I could have seen you too. Maybe one day our kindred spirits will meet. But until then, keep delighting us in these heartwarming posts.
Love,
~Sheri
What a lovely post my dear.
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful talent for bringing deep thoughts to ponder!!!
What an amazing opportunity we have, this L I F E we get to live!

Mais où vas-tu chercher tout ça !
ReplyDeleteJe suis époustouflée par ton imagination qui mêle beauté et romantisme, baroque et raffinement ...
Tes élèves ont bien de la chance !
Gros bisous très chère Anita et joyeuse semaine.

I think I never had a wild life ...
ReplyDeletemaybe in a next one ?
I am a Home-person .
That's the place I feel safe I think
I think I am a high-sensitive person and have always been trying trying to adjust .
I now found out this is how I am .
I do not have to be like others
I do not have to do like others
PRECIOUS that's a wonderful word .
What is it I plan to do with my precious life ?
Well I finally made an appointment
with the neurologist and that's a big step to me .
Are you having a good summer ?
Sunshine finally arrived overhere !
Hugs and hugs !
Dear Anita, The colours on your new blog header are gorgeous, and I love the bouncing budgie – how funny! However, your words are what really touched me. Thank you dear friend you have just reminded me of the important things in life. xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely, just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI think I will strive to surround myself with more beautiful and inspiring friends like you!
Love ya bunches!

Dear Anita...
ReplyDeleteYour words so very true...A balancing act indeed...The little birdie made me smile, so very cute! I am basking in these long summer days and balmy evenings....Anita as always I am loving your beautiful friendship on here...Thank you for this charming post....With kindest thoughts, Maria x
I could feel the fresh salty air blowing in that wonderful photo of curtains, Anita! Thank you for the always delightful words and images!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautifully inspiring post! And I love the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack so I had to play while reading this! :)
ReplyDeleteMarie Angelique
Oh ANITA~ All eloquently put or said or placed.
ReplyDeleteThank you for these beautiful photos all placed beautifully and creatively in a path before me.
THANK YOU FOR PINNING that photo. It was my fav from this post/photo shoot. I love the [if I may?] the youthful pose. hahahahaha Is that vain of me? Those pants make the entire pull together of the other items.
(hug) to your dear friend!!!!
This is such an inspirational post! I love it! And I have a soft spot for birds - so that budgie on the ball just made my day!!! xo
ReplyDeleteOne questions, Did you know the person behind the photo of Keikolynn? She is a new fashion blogger I am following. Are her facial features gorgeous. Some people have all the beauty the rest of us yearn for [speaking of me only].
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and inspiring Anita!...I always love the images in your post as well as your wonderful words,
ReplyDeleteHappy New Week,
Susan x
Greetings, Anita!
ReplyDeleteJust came in from gardening in 90+ degree temps! It is hot, hot, hot!!! We've been away in Maine, and just returned. The weather was incredible and so yummy there. Now it's back to hot and humid DC. Thanks for this lovely and inspiring post, my friend. I thought of you while hiking through the woods of Acadia National Park. The trees, birds, flowers, mossy rocks, etc.

A beautiful post, we have learnt over the past few months to grab life by both hands and concentrate on the good things that give us most joy.

ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are enjoying your summer dear friend and you had a lovely holiday away with your family.
Flying standby can be a little unnerving.
Wishing you all the best for your job interview.
Happy week

Everytime I try to plan it has a good chance of being ruined.lol
ReplyDeleteHow are you miss Anita? I have been very busy and had a dog show this past weekend. I just updated my blog finally :)
Have a nice week!

The parrot is adorable...
ReplyDeleteInspiring message, as always. :)
Much love... xo
I love the question ...
ReplyDeleteI am trying to remember that though it's very nice being home, there are adventures around the corner and time to carve out with those I hold dear ... my sweet nephew, my sister and dear friends ... art class with my mom, helping my parents plan their European vacation.
It's all precious.
Thanks for reminding us.
Blessings and light to you.
I plan to be happy, Anita...think happy be happy...life is precious and sometimes fleeting...you're always so wonderfully thought provoking...every time I stop by to leave a comment I read the words of Mother Teresa reminding me that being kind is the most important thing.
ReplyDeleteWith love

Oh, I feel every photo on this blog is just for me. I used to own that White Chinese mirror,just every thing is beautiful, including you Gorgeous
ReplyDeleteLady.
It is HOT as Heck here in Maine.
Can't go outside and do my Garden.
Stay COOL.

Oh dear one...so glad I popped over for a visit today! Such an important message you share...finding inspiration in your images and words. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWell the sun is shinning here and it is going to be a wonderful day...excited to see what blessings God has for me today. I know they are out there....keeping my eyes and ears WIDE OPEN today. xoxox
Anita you do the most beautiful work and it makes me stop and think so thank-you! So glad you liked my pictures and of course you can use them on pinterest! That would be wonderful! I have lots more posts for you as we journey through our holiday!

Dearest Anita, thank you for your sweet comment! Yes, balance is worth striving for and reaching for it keeps us flexible and young ;) Did i tell you how much i adore that birdie on the ball? It knocks me out - too cute! Have a fun day and evening of summer!
ReplyDeleteAnita I've been meaning to come back here and leave a comment since I read this on my IPhone. What a thought-provoking post and it's why I come here. To think and ask myself many of the questions that you pose. Right now I'm on the verge of a new life and striking a balance is very much on my mind. Even when it comes to blogging and living and writing.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm so glad you're still writing posts. I hope your project is going well too.
Leslie aka Gwen Moss
Good Day, Anita!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I will wear the coral lipstick in my post poses because it is so faint yet I do love it with turquoise, too.
Thank you for your sweet comment.
Anita! You are a philosopher! You question, you seek answers, you distill truths so complex we can't comprehend...but always you send us on our day in a better way. Thank you, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting Harold again. He said he will spend his days hunting in his new home.
ReplyDeletebisous!
Penny
Oh my, Anita! This is just what I needed. The last few weeks have been so hectic, I cannot even tell you the half of it. You're so right, finding that perfect balance is the key and the MOST CHALLENGING THING EVER, I am completely convinced.
ReplyDeleteAfter 3 weeks absent, I've finally compiled a blog post, and have linked to your blog and Etsy shop in it. :)
Lots of love to you. I hope your summer is going well!
Keri
Hello Anita,
ReplyDeleteI was excited to see a new post! This is so beautiful. Love it! Oh the birdies and flowers...some of my favorite things. Your words always go perfectly with the images you choose.
I am so behind in visiting blogs. So sorry to hear about your Aunt that has cancer. I have been praying.
Things are good here. I am on the home stretch. And yes, I do get migraines that start out with flashes. I don't get them like I used to but being pregnant they seem to happen more frequently but not as severe. The acupuncture really helped last week!
I hope you are enjoying your summer and writing.
Love to you,
Heidi
Morning sweet friend...how are you doing in your heatwave? Morning rain shower here today...so beautiful out...off to tea with some dear friends..wish one of them was YOU! Hugs ...make it a great day. xoxo
ReplyDeleteDearest Anita, you fill me with so much inspiration. Thanks for always making us think and push ourselves
ReplyDeleteharder to be our best self, question, and grow to our full potential.
Beautiful!
Hugs,
Patti
I feel truly blessed to have "met" you. You're an inspiration and your posts always resonates with my hearts of hearts. I love this post and balance is something I struggle with all the time. However, I am always there for the ones that need me. I have to remind myself that I am not a super being and it is ok to not be perfect. Beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteP.s. I am truly thrilled that you repinned my pic. I will have to get my pinteresting game on:-) xx
I love that "Faith" photo and how you added that we have to fill-in the empty shoes with action. So TRUE!
ReplyDeleteAnita,
It was so good to hear from you. We are having some warm weather, but nothing too humid. It's been in the 80's mostly. I am so thankful for a/c though! Our townhouse is unbearable without it, especially with the bedrooms being upstairs.
Thanks for stopping by. I'm happy that your class is going well and you are learning so much. Yay!!!
Love to you!
Heidi
Oh Anita I am in....it's lovely to be back here! What a beautiful post....oh that tree with the chair in it...pure magick! I'm off to slumberland now and I think I will be dreaming of it....can't wait.....Enjoy your day with Irina....love to you both, Dzintra xo

Good evening dear friend,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for coming over to view my painting and leaving such a kind comment. My posts are not showing up on your blog roll? Oops!
I sent you an email..
bisous!
You are such a dear and kind friend Anita. It's not often that one comes across such an authentic and POSITIVE person:) I feel so blessed that you take the time to always visit me! So glad you are allowing yourself to just BE and a little self pampering is part of balancing all that we have on our plates.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of the week!
xxleslie
I posted this on my blog but not sure you'd see it.
ReplyDeleteHi Anita! I'm so glad I stopped by your blog! I always am; it's such a breath of fresh air and a nice escape!
I suppose you're right about people blogging a little more in this heat:)
I'm almost done with her...wire is on, varnish is done:)!
Jennifer
Je plonge avec bonheur dans ton univers enchanté accompagnée par les douces notes de Jean Yves Thibaudet (Cocorico, un français ! ou si tu préfères Cock-a-doodle-doo!!!)
ReplyDeleteEst ce que tu m'autorises à parler de ton blog sur le mien et mettre ta photo ?
Bises et à bientôt
A touch of wonder as I scroll and dream! Jennifer
ReplyDeleteAnita, hi!
ReplyDeleteI have been intending on telling you that I love that photo in this post of the open window and curtains being blown by the wind, the table full of books. The best portion of it is the brown and green chairs and the color of turquoise of the ocean waters out the windows.
Pictures is a 1000 words? Nah, that one is more like a million!!!
(hug) and a :D
I needed to hear this today-all days really, but because of certain situations-today the most. So,so beautiful and so touching-so good to know that there are still gentle, loving and beautiful people in the world like you!
ReplyDeletejemma
Anita dear,
ReplyDeleteEver so inspiring. It IS all about finding the balance, the equilibrium and the rhythm to life, as you say. Each aspect that you so beautifully illustrate is essential in creating the entire picture-the art of our lives. Your images and words are so beautiful you gave me chills.
xx, Heather @ Stylemindchic
PS-Thank you for the lovely bday wishes Anita! xx
Dear Anita,
ReplyDeleteI am happy to see your new post! It is absolutely exquisite, powerful and insightful - the music, the visuals, and, off course, your thoughts...! I love your thoughtful mind and kind heart! I still ask myself this Mary Oliver’s question every day to ensure that I am on the right path and I am making the most of my life. And then again, I find the answer in her words:
“Instructions for living a life.
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.”
I thank you for the endless inspiration you give me every time I enter your world!
Dear Anita, Your beautiful posts always make me think in the positive and can change my thinking for the day. Thank-you for that.
ReplyDeleteAnother lush and gorgeously inspiring post... thank you.
ReplyDeleteSUCH an inspiring post.
ReplyDeleteI find that particular balance hard work...and fear that my 'live for the day' policy will result in, at best, a visit from environmental health (given up cleaning after my boys) and at worst a penniless old age (keep spending our pension/their inheritance)!!
Life is fun though!
Sending love for a happy weekend

Fabulous! So happy to see your wonderful musings Anita... xv
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes!
ReplyDeleteYou may pin, you need not ever ask if you can pin something of mine, I trust that you always have good intentions when you barrow inspiration from anyone.
You are one of my most favorites and being of the same cloth of what inspires us with all things French you my sister through him may I share with you my heart, soul, and belongings.
Thank you for making such an early visit to comment on my Frenchness.

Dear Anita,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to thank you for your very kind comment on my blog! A big kiss and hug to you xox
Wishing you a happy Sunday!
Madelief x
How wonderful! Life is very short and it's a terrible thing to waste. That doesn't mean working and doing and going all the time, but it does mean that empty moments should be contemplative,that we should pay attention to our daydreams and we should listen to the dreams of others.
ReplyDeleteMy first stop on a Sunday morning. You made a great day into a calm peaceful feeling way to start the day. Hope all is well dear Anita. Thanks for all the beauty you send our way.
ReplyDeleteKelley
Hi lovely one! I plan to take my life and do my best to make everyone I meet smile!!!! I can't think of anything more creative than this :)
ReplyDeletesending smiles your way...
Love this post dear Anita. You always have a very special way of conveying beautiful things and thoughts. Thank you as always for your loving support. xoxo Linda
ReplyDeletePerfect as usual, Anita. So much to consider in that one question, and I have no clue what the answer is these days, but I'm glad that you have ignited my mind again with fresh sparks of curiosity and contemplation.
ReplyDeleteIt feels SO GOOD to visit with you.
xoxoxoxoxoxo....
Thank you for visiting me this morning...it is always so nice to see your sweet comments. Today I am working on a little school project for next year...thought I would give it a start and see how far I get. I may get distracted by the lovely day....it is already calling my name....hugs to you my sweet friend. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi Anita! ..just heading out to the office and need to make my oatmeal! Always love your sweet comments. There are so wonderful breakfast options. I'm trying to keep things VERY simple for my readers;) I know you and I would get along fabulously and we'd start off meeting for breakfast!! xxL
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Anita!
ReplyDeleteYour comments always make my heart sing, and often bring a tear of joy, as they are always so heartfelt and full of love (not to mention you write soooo well hehehe).
Isn't that perfume bottle pretty? When I saw it in the shop I had to get it, as it just said "me".
You should do a post on your dressing table - it would be so fun to look at. I'm sure you have many interesting and beautiful things.
Enjoy this day.
Love,
~Sheri
Beautiful Anita!

ReplyDeleteaujourd'hui dites OUI ....I wrote on my blog today .
just three words . in a wonderful language .
I discouvered a whole new side today .
I choose the words to help me
to think positive because sometimes the constant pain day in and day out makes me realy depresssed .
a new day starting in so much pain that I do not want the day anymore is bad bad bad .
each and every day I try to think of something to help me get on ...
really my life is filled with reasons that is not the problem
Today it started as a bad BAD day and pinterest showed me this one
So I choose to make a new post today to keep going and than something wonderful happened
I try to explain
I thought I had to say YES INSTEAD of no .....
a kind of denial
but all of a sudden it struck me
I could say YES to the NO .
No I do not want to have so much pain . I can find that I may say that YES .
I do not know If you can follow me
AUJOURD'HUI DITES OUI .
it's all about taking care of myself starting to say out loud instead of taking in .....
You are so special to me because I feel free to speak out and know you will always see the bigger view .
Thank you for your friendship
I just came by to say hello, hello!
ReplyDeleteObservations: 1) The "chemistry" between the actors playing lizzie and Mr Darcy in THAT "pride and prejudice" was supercalafragilisticexpialadocious! 2) I used to have a little parakeet like that one, named Pomme Jaune. i had forgotten all about it!
3) Skinny people can wear anything and look good... who would've thought to wear a metallic blouse with tattered jeans and pull it off?!!
4) I always see the trees before the forest.
Such a gorgeous post Anita. I've been off radar for a bit, all is well though. About to write a blog post. I discovered Instagram. Wish I hadn't!
ReplyDeleteBut I am back to blogging for good now.
Hope this finds you well beauty.

Hello dearest Anita!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI got your other comment about the Cielo Dr. murders....
A few years ago Sharon Tate's sister Debra allowed Sharon's clothing to be modeled- it was so cool!!! There was a gorgeous black lace YSL dress, Pucci separates, and a mink cropped coat with Sharon's name embroidered on the inside. If you go to You Tube and search Sharon Tate fashion- you should see it there. It's really cool!!!!
Can you believe it's August 1st?!!!!! That seems impossible!!!!!
Love & Hugs,
Shannon
Anita-

Hi! This is my first time to visit you and am blown away with your blog! We all have the same internet but you are going places I have never been with the photos you have found. :) Just beautiful. And your poetry is just wonderful too. Thanks for the treat this morning.
