#003: Be friendly to others

OMG, I have to do something about myself, if I have to believe the cards I pull. I was thinking that I was as nice I could be. Apparently not?!

The card I pulled today: Be friendly to others.
With the description: Most of the time, people treat you the way, you treat them…

Is it a eye-opener or is there someone who wants to learn me some lessons? :)

#002: Bless everything

Allright: I’ve been busy, and yes, I know already, It’s a common excuse, but still: quite true!

The card that I’ve pulled today: “Bless everything”.
The description on the card is: Today is the day to bless everything and everyone.

Quite nice, isn’t it? It’s a nice thing to bless, although, it’s not always a easy thing to do. How to bless somebody, that you don’t like? How to bless a situation, or worse, how to bless certain things, without having a feeling for it?

Please comment!

#001: A prayer for the world

This is the first of cards I’ve pulled. I think that the cards that I pull are for me personally, but never the less; I think I can share them with you. The cards tell me what is going on with me personally, but maybe it works for you also…

Today’s card:
A Prayer for the world
“The world is in need, Pray for it every day…”

Spirituality

Allright: My webiste is finally online. Although I know that most of my posts are quite full of designfacts, I would like to put some more of myself on to it. Last year I became a Reiki-master, and ‘doing’ Tera-Mai now as well. Last year was a difficult year with a few highlights, let’s say we can speak about a path with a few bumps. I’ve got great support from friends (thank you so much!). From today on, I would like to pull some cards, and post them up to this section of my blog. Tonight I will pull the first one! Keep you all posted!

The importance of good footage…

I’m definitive about one thing: Every designer have the need for good inspiration. Inspiration is a common wealth, but where do you get it? It depends on the mood, I guess. My inspiration has many faces. One in particular, but when it’s not around, I’d like to grab artwork out of old mag’s, or put a nice, comforting music on (‘listening to John Legend – Live in the house of Blues’ right now… Great!). But what works all the time, is watching some good old photographs… I’ve searched and archived some of the best stocks on the web, and I like to share them with y’all… So cut the crap, and follow these links!

I’ll hope you will get some nice footage from here, and sure, there will be many other stockphoto-galleries, but I can’t post them all, can I?
But: If you’d like to share also, please give me a comment with the link in it. I would appreciate it!

Enjoy!
