Magic forever because fairy tales exist


I always stick to the words of my favorite fairy tale writer Oscar Wilde: "We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars". Wilde together with Exupery who wrote the little prince I think have discovered the magic of life and how easy it is to forget that we can see, breath, love and that we are so easily consumed by all that is insignificant and little.
This year started with the word magic and it will be magical because I believe in it, I believe that if you have enough passion, enough strength, enough to see the world trough the eyes of a child you can be happy, you can feel everything and smile at everyone. It is just that simple.

Arriving in Mexico

Mexico has a very special place in my heart. I feel like part of my life, part of who I am that was hidden and lost I found there. Four years ago or maybe more I remember arriving in Mexico my first trip alone ever, flying next to the huge thunder clouds in which I could see the lightnings flashing every second, seeing the palm trees underneath me and thinking " Where are you going?" It was a great question and I feel like I was going towards understanding how important it is to find your own freedom.


Feeling my feet touching the sand again on that incredible beach in Los Cabos miles and miles long was amazing. Huge crashing waves, ocean spray everywhere and none on the beach but me, my camera and amazing sky and clouds.

The resort was beautiful and we had days sunbathing and enjoying the warm weather, long walks on the beach, swimming and than after a game of tennis seeing the amazing sunsets with a drink in hand, well camera more often. We truly enjoyed being on the beach and relaxing.

Our Christmas Evening was specifically fun. There was a full moon and we took our drinks and headed for the beach. Rob suggested that we have to figure out a fun way to take photos of the two of us. Getting one of the beach tables and setting the camera we used only the moonlight to do this:

tales from Christmas parties


It was an amazing and very festive Christmas party season. It is one of the few times in my life I have not been back in Europe mainly due to the fact that with Rob we decided to escape from Christmas madness and trying to get some well deserved rest in a great resort in Mexico.

There were photo scavenger hunts ( you can see some images if you fallow this link: http://gallery.mac.com/vitalartery#100033/Team-207-20--206_3 ), Ugly Sweater Party : http://gallery.mac.com/vitalartery#100047/DSC_0061, Norwegian Glogg Party, Chocolate Christmas Party, company Christmas parties and at all it was fun it was crazy and fun with so much laughter and unexpected moments.

You can understand that after all of this combined with work nearly till the last moment we left for Mexico I felt like I deserved a good rest after this crazy year.
