Hello World, this is me... boom!

What a day to be alive, and what a time to start a blog! Within this still surreal COVID experience and suddenly faced with loads of spare time, I felt I couldn't hold on to my thoughts any longer, they needed a way out!

I do have loads to say (as always, and as everyone who knows me knows I do!) but now, finally faced with this clean slate it's tricky to know where to start! 😶

I will let my thoughts take their course, so be ready for a bit of a rollercoaster ride! 🙋🙆

If you know me you might know I'm quite methodical and organised (glimpses of the scientist in me), yet I’m also extremely energetic, bouncy and loud (or so I’m often told!).

There are no grey scales with me, definitely none! Instead, there are loads of different colours rushing and gushing around, intense excitement and wonderful, positive feelings 😁! Tropical aromas, jiggly melodies and loads of smiles! Warm thoughts and feelings; a sense of goodness and kindness being my most essential compass in life 💗!

I don’t yet know what shape will this blog take as time goes by.

The only thing I do know at this point is that I want to share my most authentic feelings and thoughts, as I turn myself inside out!

Thanks for reading!

Ana/Nana/Banana!

It's well known that I love everything to do with flowers... but when it comes to drawing/painting, I think my eyes don't have the required talent to artistically identify shapes and colours.  Still, I told myself I wanted to draw flowers and I had to find a way to achieve this! And so I decided to take an ethical "copy-paste" approach to this: I photographed as many flowers as possible I imported my selected picture into my iPad digital drawing app: Procreate® Using my Apple Pen, I traced the outlines of my flower into a new layer and voila! The main flower was drawn! Working with different layers and techniques, I coloured in the flowers and added some extra elements to finalise my drawing. If the frontal digitally drawn hydrangea looks extremely similar to the photographed one, it's because I digitally traced the original

Will these testing times give us insightful learnings?

Did you ever wonder, in pre COVID times, how it would feel to live in a small and quiet village? I faced this question a couple of times before, and each time I thought to myself "there's no way I can be in a quiet town, I'm a city girl, I need the noise, the people, the speedy lifestyle. A quiet village would be SO boring ! " Well… then COVID happened. We were all forced to stay at home and drastically change our lifestyle . We had to stop planning our weekends and to forget about our future gatherings, outside commitments and social events. I was suddenly confronted with LOADS of spare time, not only from the cancelled gatherings but because I stopped going through my daily miserable, stressful and crammed commute! Actually, I didn’t have to get myself ready for work nor did I have to take my packed lunches with me, no gym bag to carry …plus, I suddenly had MUCH more time to sleep! (Also… talk about warm homemade breakfasts and "day pyjamas")
