Oh that feeling ... ♥

... and my daydreaming continues ... :) ♥

'Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.' 
 ~ Steve Jobs ~

'Be not the slave of your own past- plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience, that shall explain and overlook the old.'

Earth Hour 2011



What is Earth Hour?

It is the largest voluntary action ever witnessed, reaching 1.3 billion people.
It is the biggest environmental awareness campaign ever seen!





When is it?

Earth Hour takes place once every year, the last Saturday of March. This year it will be Saturday 26th from 8.30 to 9.30 PM local time.

What's the aim?

To raise environmental awareness and get us do small things in our daily lives that together can have huge impacts: in other words, to go beyond the Hour.

What does it involve?

Simply turning off your lights for 1 hour. Earth's Hour.

How useful is this?

Earth Hour is a highly "visible" symbolic act. See the pictures here.
One that millions of people can easily join in with.

And one that allows you to have fun while sending out a serious message to our politicians and governments, that says:


"I care about my planet!"

Here are some fun things to do during Earth Hour as suggested by the WWF


Beyond the Hour

Earth Hour 2011 will go beyond the Hour and beyond climate change, marking a moment where every individual, government and business can make their commitment to environmentally sustainable action for the forthcoming year. Homes, offices, government buildings and iconic landmarks will go dark to acknowledge the actions of people from all corners of the globe that go beyond the Hour.



For more info visit the Official Earth Hour website


I'm so game!!! Hope you are too!
Let's ALL celebrate our action for the planet together with the people of world & have some fun
while we're at it :)

A visual tour of my Dream Home

*
Welcome to get a glimpse of my dream home .... or at least something very close to it.


It's not so much about the nitty gritty details in these images, as some are totally ''me'', whereas others are less so. Instead it is about the feeling I get when placing myself in these rooms and places. And the LIGHT. The light in the rooms is so important!


Now, finding dreamy images isn't that big of a deal. There's a plentiful out there. The longer you look the more dreaminess you find, and the more dreaminess you find the more difficult it gets to finally choose. However, finding pictures that have the right look AND feel (here comes the light again) is a different story alltogether. The perfectionist in me had to decide to be satisfied in the end, and just finish the post :).

Hope you enjoy the tour!
 

 
































... this or something better ... And so it is.

THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU  Universe :)!!!


 Take care,
Nona
