I am happiest when…

With the spring here, daffodils are appearing everywhere, and so are little birds and other baby animals. Sunny days are becoming more common, and the blossoms on trees are beginning to bloom. All this has got us thinking about... being happy. Funnily enough, if you just take the time to ask yourself "What makes me…

The Power of Colour

Like kindness, power can be gained even by small acts. Funnily enough, I've noticed that choosing certain colours throughout my day- whether it be for my outfit, phone wallpaper, or for my meal, can really empower me. Colours evoke my senses and make my day an adventure. On a cloudy day, we look for those brightly coloured vegetables to warm…

You and Me

Normally, we pay tribute to the one we love with gifts, words or flowers, but today we just thought we'd do it with pictures. Happy Valentines Day Poem Credit: My daughter, one of the wings of Two Wings To Fly.

Tribute to Hands

The airport is one of my favourite places for inspiration. On one notable occasion, sitting in a coffee shop, I noticed a man relaxing at the corner of the cafe, sipping his coffee and knitting a beautiful jumper. The unusual scene before me made me unable to resist approaching him to have a conversation about his interesting…

Drops of Joy

Our eyes shone with joy and delight as the white fluff slowly but steadily covered the branches of the trees in front of our home. It was the first snow of the year. Something about that scene, with those magical, beautiful, bright flakes falling and resting down on the soft green grass makes us speechless. Shrouding…

The Excited Blossom Tree

In front of our window resides the most funny blossom tree. You usually expect a tree to blossom in the spring when all the other trees and flowers wake up and begin to bloom once more. But no- our favourite tree, funnily enough, always has to prove its uniqueness and quirkyness to us by suddenly blossoming-…

Lost and Found

Chuck Swindoll once said "Life is ten percent of what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it", and it's a quote that has stuck with me ever since. It is our interpretations which make things, events and actions take the shape we find them in, and what happened one notable day really…

Festivology- modern Technology, Festive-Style

Modern technology offers us so much more enjoyment than simply using Facebook and Twitter to secretly stalk other people. Sure, shadowing the profiles of friends, family, colleagues (the list goes on and on) could be seen as a fun leisure, but there is so much more to discover online. What for me is one of…

The Return of the Childhood Dolly- in Adulthood

As children, many of us may have felt a special type of love towards our toy animals. That little kitten, dog, horse, fish, monkey or bird gave us the wings to fly with courage, dare and confidence to the end of the world. We discovered new lands and horizons within ourselves when we held it so tight to…

Advent Calendar Mania and the Big Christmas Challenge

Have you heard of the quote that said the best part of the journey is not the destination, but the journey itself? Usually, I like to tell the story after getting the outcome of a happy ending, but this time, the happiness is in the process of making the story. As we were reviewing the magical memories…
