Stimulating Creativity Through Fresh Ideas {Explore Life}    Zanahorias ~ Carrots from the Farmer's Market
And yet, seems that every day brings its own beauty and challenge… every day, every month, and every year.  At least is the way I see it :)
This month has been full of happy moments, cold weather, a lot of baking and also challenges. June will almost end and I feel overjoy to welcome July. Another moth also means another opportunity to me. Yes, opportunities to be inspire, to share, to remember, to create …
A month to breathe new life into the richness of creativity {to explore and to expand} – I’m never tired of creativity in fact I don’t think I could live without it. And I don’t believe there is such thing as not creative person, we all need to express ourselves. After all we are powerful beings.
Sometimes we need to take time for ourselves, listen to the heart and look for those small, little happy moments in life {and I always remind myself} to… look for them. My mother says; little ‘bits’ of happy moments matter into everyday life--Maybe they would not change your life right away but they could change your day.These words always gives me a sense of spiritual freshness, a smile and also make me more eager to do something new every day and flex my inner creativity.
There is always something new to learn, and there is always someone to be inspired by.
This last week I’ve been inspired for many things and people;
comments from wonderful readers, words of love from my sister and a hearty detail from Martina from the beautiful blog M's Art Impressions, who recently featured Al Dente Gourmet Blog  and talked about my approach to cooking and photography.Thank you, Martina!
I felt touch and amazed by a film trailer called; 'Queen of the Sun'. This is a film about Bees, their alarming disappearance and how this is affecting the circle of life. I invite you to watch the trailer here and to pass it on. 
I also felt inspired by this phrase and this phrase. And this photo,and I couldn’t resist saving this ice cream recipe {even though is winter here in NZ :)} ... adding this gorgeous colorful photo to my food styling Pinterest board And I found this sweet and great gift wrapping idea.
Finally, I’ve got the courage to make fresh ricotta during the weekend {I’ve wanted to make homemade ricotta for months} and this has become my latest addiction. Now I could not stop making it. I will come back with the recipe soon.
I hope you enjoy of these favorite links!
Let’s enjoy, listen to the heart, have a walk, take a moment to relax and explore life throughout creativity.
