REFLECTION

Reflection – a dream, a voyage, a land of possibilities…

Contemplating from within, looking into the darkest corners of your mind, and finding endless beauty.

This is my response to CBBH monthly challenge.

On the first day of the new year I would like to introduce two bloggers that have brought me inspiration and joy over the past year. Please say hello to my friends Cardinal and Le Drake Noir.

        1. It took time and effort, but I am happy with it :). It would be cool if the WP accepts it as their official one… Is there a possibility to vote?

  3. Wow! Your photo had me puzzled for a second until I realised it is wholly a reflection – very clever, Paula. I love the way your entries are always so thoughtful.

  18. You have many beautiful friends, Paula, and sharing them is one of the aspects of Marianne’s challenge that I really like, so when the music finishes I’ll be visiting Lake Orta with you, and then returning here.

    1. Yes, I do , I am blessed that way 🙂 and I have always shared links to my true friends no matter who asks me to do so… this is one of the aspects of Marianne’s challenge that I do not like .. as I feel pressured.

      Like

      1. If I took part on a regular basis, I would too, I think. It’s another aspect to have to think about when you really just want to focus on the challenge.

        1. I am not into stats, or stats-related goals or blogger awards .. I hope you have noticed that. There are a lot of nice bloggers and even people around here, but I see no point in making such rules. I like it when it comes from the heart not as an obligation or to return someone a favour. The world functions this way I know, but I want blogosphere to be free of mutual back-scratching…. I am sorry if my words sound harsh. I must always speak my mind… Another thing – I never evaluate whose blog is better, nicer, lovelier or whatever – I consider it a virtual home for people their own world (unless of course they are selling something) – and who am I to judge whose blog is better or nicer than somebody elses. I can only enclose links to blogs that I feel inspiring, that I can relate to, and if I see that people behind them are not some @ssholes :).

      1. I find a sense of calm in your blog. I am pretty sure that that feeling pervades in your being too. Moreover, it seems like a travel blog with photos. A little different from other blogs which I follow and are just about writing. So yes, will be visiting frequently. 🙂
