“ Depression is a disorder of the ‘I,’ failing in your own eyes relative to your goals. In a society in which individualism is becoming rampant, people more and more believe that they are the center of the world. Such a belief system makes individual failure almost inconsolable… Optimism is invaluable for the meaningful life. With a firm belief in a positive future you can throw...
Scrumptious leafy greens on a scrumptious wintery day… a few snaps from a walk to the Post Office today ;) thea. xx

Les Portfolio is finally done & being sent out on the hunt for design work! It’s a strange experience making a design portfolio… it’s probably cliched of me to say, but it’s sort of like being naked and sending pictures of yourself out to everyone to hear what they think of you. You get better at doing it the more time goes by. You take it less personally when someone...

My cute little violet is starting to bloom again (yay!) Imagine how excited I’d get if I had a vegetable garden…. hehe probably worrying ;) I think it’s something I have to try one day though… a vegetable patch… It is somewhere in the life bucket list… - I just saw myself and how tiny a ‘big future dream’ that was, and had to laugh a bit. Then...
walking past our lady of the opera tonight, she is oh, so pretty don’t you think? Happy sighs :) I love how beauty is transformed when darkness falls… there’s still a magic lingering in the night isn’t there? thea. xx
I know I say it aaaaall the time, but honestly, there just isn’t anything so simple, beautiful and happy as having flowers in the home :) Don’t you think? Poppies at the moment - aren’t they gorgeous?? (thanks mom :)

Mr Visionary & I had a wondrous day last weekend visiting a Camelia garden! They were only just starting to bloom, but so gorgeous all the same… What are you guys doing this weekend? I have so much work to do I have a feeling I will be at the computer. Pity there’s not another garden to visit - then again, it’s going to rain so that might be a great idea to be inside…...
Love, ducks & cups of tea is what it’s all about in my neck of the woods at present. How lovely that sounds all together :) I just finished working on the first stage of some logos for a wedding planner yesterday - a wondrously happy job ;) Oh and also my mom sent me the cutest story about a duck today! have a read ;)
Oh, & sun, don’t think I...
We will be seeing Zebras!! ZEBRAS! Gosh I’m excited! thea. xx
Hmmmm. trying to organise a safari (SO SO EXCITED) and spoilt for choice but at the same time I’d better hurry up about it so it’s not all booked out… Stresssssssssssss!!! I sot of hate, no I actually hate booking holidays. I find it incredibly stressful commiting to a deicision and doing it ahead of time too… I never seem to be early enough - panic! My friends have...
Was completely blown away today by the beauty of these paintings by artist, Jian Chong Min. Aren’t they just gorgeous? Lush, visually rich, and mesmerising, they’d be a-mazing in a home… I can visualise myself as a little girl staring at them for hours.. refreshing, don’t you think? thea. xx
Had a wondrously affirming day today designing ‘serious’ projects (ahem, annual report…) to save money for our Safari goal… it is much needed medicine to remind me how ridiculously lucky I am to lead the enriching creative life I do. How magical it is to have such lovely creative projects, work with amazing clients, briefs & friends… I weirdly loved every minute...
I could very happily see myself in this house… couldn’t you…? I imagine cosy rooms filled with fresh flowers and places to read/draw/gather & bake… This, coupled with long outside strolls through garden, meadow and grass… the sun on my face and the wind in my hair… sighs… thea. xx
