SPOTLIGHT

WHAT'S NEW?
T E A
announced several contests in her article "The Merry News of May"
teaphotography.deviantart.com/… and reminded her friends of that each of us is equal in the eyes of mother Earth, it's our only home and we should treat her with respect... well, I couldn't agree more - if one day this ship sinks, it will be either because of damage caused by individuals, or because of ignorance of masses - either way we all will drown; I trust we - artists, intelligent, sensitive people who often have friends all over the world, surely can do a lot in this cause
features some truly breathtaking mountain view shots in her journal "Mountains, hills"
rosaarvensis.deviantart.com/jo… S T E V E N

A T H I N A
picked a great theme for her recent "Features No 93-What is freedom?"
chryssalis.deviantart.com/jour… she really is one of my favourite people here, she does so much for others although she could hold her nose high because her own work is nothing but stunning! As an opposite to that she's very kind and helpful
YOU ROCK, girl!
miss LISTI

my family are happy and healthy
I'm looking forward to talking to someone special
last night I had a "liberating" talk with my friend Chris
it made me feel better and I was happy to get to know him more... it was that kind of conversation that starts with a trivial topic and then explodes into all sorts of stuff you might like to know about someone... cool thing!
I decided to drink less coffee and rather get back to tea
mint tea makes a hectic day enjoyable (and helps me survive)
I've been cleaning my computer folders and found there various things - old emails from ex-boyfriends, fragments of poems those I'm planning to get back to, photos etc. etc. ...ex-boyfriends can go have a beer or whatever and my dear laptop can now breathe freely when I removed all that was gathered there
I'll have friends coming over for a barbecue some time soon (I'm guessing next weekend)
today I'm wearing PINK
May your world be colourful
and don't forget it's Mother's Day this Sunday
...if you know about any sort of interesting contest/journal/project/artist or whatever else you think others would like to read and/or take part in, comment on this journal or note me
